I'd like to add something to the "kids are attacked at all times of the day now". Maybe it isn't wise for parents to allow their children to free roam on the internet. My best bud's nephew has a facebook... and he's 10. There is no need for a child that young to have a facebook.

Bingo.  Young kids shouldn't have facebook.  Isn't that against their policy anyways?  There must be an age restriction of some sort.
If anyone in this thread judge him; heyy James WTF? about you in Awake In Japan? Then I will say; WTF about you silly?

Technically... Terms of service state you have to be 13.  And you're both absolutely right ... NO NEED AT ALL for someone that young to have FB.  My kids are 11, and will not be getting FB until at least teenage years, when they are closer enough to the maturity level to handle it.

When I was a kid, you took care of things on the playground after school. Whatever the outcome, you'd go home and get a spanking by your parents and bullying was no longer an issue.

You do understand that your experience may not be typical.....relevant in todays world....or even normal and healthy, right?
I suspect you don't.
Do you expect a 11 year old girl that is being cyber bullied to "take care of things on the playground"? I don't expect my daughter to have to resort to violence to solve anything.
A child may not be physically inclined, or even able, to defend him or herself, much less "take care of things".  It could incite even more physical violence, and result in serious physical and emotional injury.

EDIT:  Just to be fair, are you just saying what your own personal experience was, or are you trying to say that is how things should be handled today as well?

Just personal experience. We didn't have FB back then. We actually went outside to play. If someone was bullying/being bullied there might be a quick altercation, but nothing serious. There weren't even that many instances. We were all (for the most part) well behaved... we had to be, or else get the spanking/belt from the parents.

What I feel parents SHOULD do (today) is absolutely restrict internet access (outside of educational materials) and computer time to their kids, especially social media garbage. Set the rules and discipline. Better yet, participate in their outdoor activities and education.

True, although I'd use my AR-15 at 200 yards instead of my 45 at point blank. Nah, I wouldn't waste a laptop like that...maybe the latest Metallica CD though.

I have come to realize that there are a lot of nutty people out there like you that I may need to defend myself from if it ever truly hits the fan.

What makes me nutty? Unless you plan on trespassing onto my property or physically harming me, you have nothing to worry about.
