2017 - Domestic Violence

[Alinta]

Apart from the text you mention, when and where is the bullying occurring? In the schoolyard environs?

I am not talking about the internet per se. I am talking about social media, as stated. Not internet forums/chat sites.

Kids and their mobile phones. It still depends on the parents, doesn't it? Or are all kids not listening to their parents' "rules" these days? Perhaps it is the parents who are "feral". Just a thought.

Much has changed since you, or I, were at school Nef. You should realise that.

Undoubtedly and probably sadly so. Should we blame the Internet?

In some ways, I think social media has a lot to answer for.

The Internet has been around for 2+ decades! I got connected to the Internet, at Home on my PC in 1995. Admittedly, it wasn't cheap. I think I was paying $5 an hour or something. At the time the Public Service in Canberra still didn't even have the Internet!

I think it is the anonymity of it all. People can get "angry" at strangers on the Net ... or Facebook or whatever the schoolkids use ... and they actually THINK that they can say anything and not have to face up to it. Juveniles (those under 18 and those above) seem to take their anger out on anonymous people. Hi Aussie and Monk.

Way back, when I first got the Internet (1995) I immediately found some Chat Rooms. I still write to some people I met there. The "rules" at the time were ... "Think about a Chat Room like walking into a Pub or unfamiliar gathering" ... you don't walk into a place and immediately yell "Who wants to fuck?" or "I hate you and will punch you on the nose" or whatever .... do you? Seems like some people do.

What do you yell Nef, ANYONE INTERSTED IN SOME HEAVY PETTING

The little turd who bullied the girl at school messed up sent one bullying message in text.

Incredibly, the school thinks the sun shines out of her arse and nothing happened.

Like I said, Gordon, little girls around 11-12 can be (and are) little bitches. It's hormonal. They eventually move on to become 15 year olds and real "teenagers".

I went to an all girls school and never struck any hormonal nastiness whatsoever. Maybe I was just lucky?

I also went to an all girls (Anglican) school in Melbourne. Your school probably had the Nuns keeping you in line.

It wasn't the girls at school, it was my 3 younger sisters. I was perfect, obviously. I also saw my daughter's friends at 12 being little cows and her daughter's friends doing the same thing.

The only outright bitch I have ever encountered in my life is my sister and age has not changed her.

A former Playboy centerfold involved in a custody battle apparently jumped with her 7-year-old son to their deaths from the 25th floor of a Manhattan hotel, law enforcement officials said Friday.

The pair checked into the penthouse suite of the Gotham Hotel at about 6 p.m. Thursday, police said at a brief news conference. They fell 23 floors, and were found on a second-floor balcony at about 8:15 a.m. Friday in the rear courtyard of the hotel.

Law enforcement officials identified the woman as Stephanie Adams and her son as Vincent. They were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The officials said she was involved in a custody dispute over Vincent with her estranged husband, a Manhattan chiropractor named Charles Nicolai, and that police had been called to their home several times in the past few months.
