What is it? Use this website to understand more about online harassment and stalking of children and teens. Volunteer to work with the children who have experienced some form of online harassment. Read safety brochures for kids, a book on net crimes, as well as other resource articles and information on the subject
Why Visit? Recently, a 13 year old committed suicide because she was being teased on My Space by an adult who lived down the street and didn’t like her. Predators feel they can hide behind the anonymity of the Internet, allowing these types of situations to happen more often.
Well, there’s something you can do to help - volunteer with WHOA. This organization has volunteer opportunities where adults are trained to work with the children who are victims of online bullies or harassment. You can help make a difference in a child’s life and maybe even save one.
What I like best about the site is that they provide a lot of useful links to news articles and online resources on the subject so that you can learn more about it before you decide whether or not this is the right volunteer opportunity for you.
