Parents are increasingly worried about the phenomenon of cyberbullying, and according to a New York Times report, some are asking school officials to help curtail the problem.
Cyberbullying can begin as early as fourth grade, and becomes more sophisticated as children grow older.
Although 44 states have passed laws about cyberbullying, these statutes often do not spell out what schools' responsibilities are, and most schools do not have cyberbullying guidelines in their codes of conducts.
Some principals are willing to talk to the bullies; others are advising parents of victims to go to police.
