Watched this last night and it was very creepy! However, it did help me to see how my older Grandchildren interact with their friends on line. It must be awful to be bullied over the internet when you have no control over what is happening and it is the normal means of communication with your buddies. Young people use it rather like wee used to use the telephone but can talk and see more people at one time - no wonder so many of them get stuck to the screen!

My 14 year old niece was cyber bulled by her so-called best 'friend' at school after she'd had an argument.
The 'friend' got her sister to join in and eventually there were dozens of girls, many of whom unknown, joining in.
It was utterly appalling and my niece was driven to near suicide.
My sister and her husband did everything they could but the school were pretty well useless, although many of the perpetrators were at that school.
Eventuality they involved the police but it was an awful 7 months.
