4 Teens Sued for Obscene Fake Facebook Profile

NJ's Millburn High School Girls Circulate A
Hazing: It’s not just for Chuck Bass at the Skull & Bones Society anymore! High school girls in New Jersey are now pretending they’re badasses by putting younger girls on a nasty “slut list.” The New York Times reported that catty seniors at Millburn High School in wealthy Millburn, New Jersey have circulated a “slut list” on which they scribble dozens of names of “pretty and popular” incoming freshman with “crass descriptions” on loose-leaf paper. The school principal, Dr. William Miron, said the tradition has taken place for over a decade, but this year hundreds of copies of the “slut list” written up by sports team members apparently made the rounds in the hallways. Why is the Times calling this “hazing”? This sounds like full-on bullying to me.

Top News - Lawsuits test free speech in internet era
A federal appeals court in Philadelphia must decide whether a Pennsylvania middle school can suspend a student who, at home on her own time, created a lewd MySpace page aimed at her principal.
The web page, which used a fake name but an actual photo of the principal, was purported to have been posted by a 40-year-old Alabama school principal who described himself, through a string of sexual vulgarities, as a pedophile and sex addict. The internet address included the phrase "kids rock my bed."

Internet Safety interview with a Teen and a Tween
Kurt: To all the parents out there, my advice is this – do NOT stalk your child in regard to online activity; this will cause a lack of trust if discovered. You should definitely talk to your child to try to educate him or her about the Internet, but do it cautiously. The Internet is safe as long as it is used reasonably.
The biggest thing to remember about the Internet when worrying about any of the above issues is that the Internet changes people’s perceptions. When you go online, you will often feel as if you are a different person. You feel disconnected from yourself, and will start to do things that you would not normally do. You can easily start to write mean-spirited things about people because you do not feel that you are actually saying them, because they did not come out of your mouth. You can feel you are safe even if you have revealing information on the Internet. This is because it’s not some sort of a strange person physically staring into your house window. My advice is, tell your child not to put anything on the Internet that they wouldn’t mind being broadcasted on TV, or put on the front page of a newspaper.
In other words, don’t become parentally power-crazed and limit everything your child does on the Internet or videogames. This will make them feel that you have become a tyrant, and they will resent you. Instead, just make sure that they are doing whatever they do responsibly. And if necessary, reasonably limit it.

Parent, School System Debate Online Use Of Student Names | TriCities
Just two months after the Washington County School Board’s most recent approval of a policy preventing pupils’ full names from appearing with their photographs online, the issue is on the agenda again Oct. 6.
The reason? One county resident, whose sons graduated several years ago from county schools and whose grandchildren are now reaching school age, says parents – not the School Board – should decide whether their children’s names appear.
