A Book Every Parent Should Read
If you’ve only seen episodes on TV shows about cyberbullying, not really looking into it much more, you would be surprised at the extent of its prevalence today and its possibly far-reaching and damaging effects. This book lays it all out for you. The author defines what it is and why the cyberbullies do what they do. He then details various types of cyberbullying, like catfishing, photo extortion, and subtweeting.
I think, perhaps, the most helpful chapters are 8 and 9, which help the parent and the teacher figure out if a child is being cyberbullied. The “signs” might at a casual glance appear to be the result of the typical teenage angst or growing pains, so it helps that the author helps make the distinctions. After all, as the author states at the beginning of the book, the effects of cyberbullying are not as physically evident as when a child is being bullied by the traditional schoolyard one; there are no bruises or out-in-the-open fights. But that does not diminish the harm that it can do.
The book is very well written from several standpoints. The author backs up most of his points with solid data and research, which I always appreciate in a nonfiction book. I also appreciate the level of detail in each chapter. This is no lightweight, slapped-together book, as so many nonfiction books are today.
Honestly, I think it would behoove any parent of a child over the age of eight to pick up this book and read it cover to cover. That way, the parent could try to prevent cyberbullying, or at least, recognize it when it happens.

Sometimes it feels that I am completely out of touch with my children, and although I know things like cyber bullying are real I have no idea how to deal with it, even if I was confident I would recognize the signs.
I really appreciate Bjorn’s attitude and awareness over the cyber worlds of today. His experience in cyber crime and law enforcement makes him an ideal person to talk about cyber bullying. His experience with young people also guides his descriptions for what parents and teachers need to look out for, and his voice is completely relatable.
Many times the kinds of behavior changes he describes can be excused by the constant fluxes of social pressures and changing body chemistry young people experience just as part of the process of growing up. But Bjorn is able to describe what parents and teachers need to look out for – the intensity and timing of emotional swings, for example, and the particular kinds of shifts in behavior indicative of cyber bullying. I also truly appreciate his guidance for what kinds of things we can do to help.
He gives a number of examples so we know that cyber bullying should never be minimized or dismissed, he also describes many of the kinds of cyber bullying which can happen. And he gives examples of specific things we can do to counter these different threats, and their respective impacts.
Although this kind of thing scares me, it was empowering to learn as much as I did while reading this book. And to know I actually have the capacity within me to help.
