Cyberbullying.”

This is a word that has caught on like wildfire in this real-time, social media world. It’s not enough that children are victimized by the mean girls or the old bullies in school. Now, if someone has a weed against your niece or nephew, sibling, child or anyone else, they just start a vitriolic rumor via Facebook or Twitter.
