A girl found dead in her room. Hanged because they did not know how it is different could help and was afraid. A mere 13 years old Megan Meier from Missouri was in the U.S. as it on 16 October 2006 alone in her room, took his own life. Her parents had seen this before in any way since just before the suicide of Megan for the world even more than was OK.
This was Josh, a new acquaintance on the Internet community site MySpace. There, Megan had signed up and created a profile page. One day Josh wrote to her, claiming he had noticed her photo. From then on, they sent the messages. Megan was so happy and head over heels in love.
went for the overweight, depressed student in a dream Erfüllung endlich einen Freund gefunden zu haben auch wenn sie ihn bisher noch nicht gesehen hatte. Das Problem war nur: Josh existierte gar nicht! Eine ehemalige Freundin von Megan hatte sich den charmanten Jungen ausgedacht, der sich angeblich für Megan interessierte.
Doch plötzlich änderte sich der Tonfall rapide. Jetzt wurde Megan als „fett“ und „Schlampe“ beschimpft. Für die sensible Schülerin einer katholischen Privatschule war das zu viel. Sie wollte nicht mehr leben.
Besonders perfide an der Geschichte ist, dass die Mutter des hinter dem Streich steckenden Mädchens bei der Demütigung mithalf, um herauszufinden, was Megan denn so hinter dem Rücken über ihre Tochter sagte.
Das Ehepaar Meier verkraftete den Tod ihrer Tochter nicht. Sie reichten die Scheidung ein.
Doch für Megan kämpften sie weiter und zogen vor Gericht. Gegen die Täterinnen ist allerdings nichts auszurichten. Das Anti-Mobbing-Gesetz im Staat Missouri stammt aus dem Jahre 1974 und ist auf das Internet nicht anwendbar.
Dass sich die beiden Cyber-Mobberinnen zwar „ein bisschen, aber nicht sehr“ schuldig wegen Megans Tod fühlen, dürfte den Eltern ein schwacher Trost sein.
Auch in Deutschland gibt es genug Beispiele für Cybermobbing
Jenny Häuser (geänderter Name) ist 13 Jahre alt und besucht die achte Klasse eines Kölner Gymnasiums. In den Sommerferien 2007 öffnet they first page of the online network SchülerVZ . This is a platform on which the students have a profile page on the Create them much to reveal about their person, have a friends list where you add friends and try to show as many friends and each other see the private photos from the weekend. This all sounds after a harmless site that allows students to get contacts, but for the discovery of Jenny SchülerVZ meant in their region following a bad time when she was bullied and insulted by their former friends.
first all started quite innocently. More and more students meldeten sich bei der Online-Community an und schon bald wurde daraus ein Wettlauf um Beliebtheit und Anerkennung, so Jenny. „Wer kein Profil hat ist Außenseiter.“, sagt Jenny und auch sie meldet sich an. Zufällig entdeckt sie beim Durchstöbern einiger Interessengruppen die „Gruppe gegen Jenny“. Die Gründerin ist eine Schülerin von einem anderen Gymnasium, die Jenny nur flüchtig kennt. Von da an erhält Jenny täglich Mails in denen sie „echt arm“ und „hässlich“ genannt und auf schlimme Weise beleidigt wird.
Mobbing gibt es an vielen Stellen wie am Arbeitsplatz oder in der Schule. Dies ist kein Einzelfall und nichts Besonderes könnte man meinen, doch nun is a new, more effective way come other people inflict physical harm, the cyber bullying on the web.
But as is typical for harassment in everyday life, Jenny looks initially not to help her parents and told them nothing of their problems, but is making desperate attempts to stop the mobbers. A total of five times it reports the "group against Jenny" before finally a response from the headquarters of the "SchülerVZ" follows. "You are friends, explains why it is not among you?" The answer as a reason not to have to remove the group officially. Philippe Gröschel, a member of the Board as a youth protection officer of the FSM (Voluntary Self-Monitoring of Multimedia Service Providers) justified the late reply, with the large number of daily over 3,000 notifications received by SchülerVZ of which, however, take only half seriously are. 60-100 of the reports relate to this bullying.
The success of Jenny ward for long. After just a few days, the group exists again under a new name. Often victims of bullying in such cases not taken it seriously. "This is common among students. You have to by yourself you had to endure it. "It is often by adults. But can this new form of bullying really traditional with the ? Compare The Internet has come to and now acts as something of a catalyst. In no time at all know who is the new victim notification and public insults are much faster than known if something like that got around in the schoolyard.
Alber Zimmerman, school psychologist in Cologne, is horrified. "Platforms like SchülerVZ are a dream for the perpetrators." He says. "SchülerVZ again reflects the reality of young people. It is a new virtual playground. "And on that schoolyard bullies will continue to Jenny. But finally she turns to her parents who respond immediately and send e-mails to the class teacher and director of the school. It is mid-October, when the teacher asks the two Hauptmobberinnen to an interview with Jenny, who stands alone in this conversation and has no one on their side. The girls count on grounds that they do not like to Jenny as a justification for their behavior. Jenny can hardly say anything and gets by her teacher, who is obviously overwhelmed with the situation can not be confirmed. This action by the teacher was wrong, Alber Zimmermann. More effective is to threaten to immediately before the entire class with consequences. Jenny's father is of the opinion that the young people would take 13 years too much responsibility. "They are just learning social contact are to assess themselves, however, can as much of their privacy they can disclose in the social networks and may not. "
According to Philippe Gröschel are the only communities' platforms, offering the opportunity for networking." Offense can SchülerVZ or similar network communities but do not for now, because service providers are not obligated to monitor which they transmit or store. This FSM also says the term for the voluntary self-control.
Jenny can be helped by their parents or their teacher. It is excluded from the group of her former friends. The Internet and especially the SchülerVZ page they not visited out of fear of further humiliation and insults. Jenny has mainly to be only in her room not accosted on the street. The time it sells with read and learn. But in the evening when it has nothing to do, she says, then come the tears. She sees only one possibility, namely to leave the school. Often the parents have no idea what their children do on the web. You know there is not as good and are found not deal so quickly. Portals such as SchülerVZ they visit the very reason not to sign up because they can not and must not. You get different from Bullying in the public not with what their children are going through or how they are doing maybe even other psychological violence. Unfortunately, many teachers see their job as finished to ring and are not interested in what the children and young people in their spare time and do there, especially on the Internet. They also know there is often not recognized and the new kind of cyber bullying is not as real violence.
What is cyber bullying?
What is Cyber \u200b\u200bBullying? Cyber \u200b\u200bbullying is an insult and exposure on the web. It is an aggravated form of bullying, by more spectators and anonymity of the bully completely new threats Internet users, but does especially for teachers and students. Bullying is closely related to stalking, but in contrast to stalking, so the persistent harassment of a person taken with the Criminal Code § 238, bullying is one in court not a criminal offense. Prosecution can, however, may raise the accusation slander, libel or slander. But it is rather the exception than the rule that bullying attacks end up in court.
bullying around the world: Poland
In Poland there is bullying, but this is prevented by the fear of worse consequences. Especially in the lithium can not afford a student to have the teachers against it. The most popular platform for teacher-bullying is the Polish SchülerVZ which translates as "our class" is, and also offers forums in which they discuss, but also can bully. In high school, most bullying takes place against teachers. Students reported that most teachers also possess a profile in "our class" in order to counteract bullying attacks. Especially for fear of cyber-bullying of the poor students to enter their data but not free. But despite the high pressure and there are strict consequences in Poland violent bullying attacks. For example, was about 3 years ago poses a teacher in front of the camera phone of the trash can over your head emptied. DasVideo came the Internet and has brought strong reactions from the teachers' associations. In Great Britain there is a strong tendency towards the cyber bullying. The origins of cyber bullying can be found here, and probably most sensational cases were also held here. So, for example in Scotland near Glasgow a teacher in front of the camera-phone pants pulled down. The video came to the internet and the teacher gave up the worldwide ridicule. Especially in Britain's case was discussed by teachers' associations, as the educational community an ever more aggressive bullying faced. With the beginning of this cyber-bullying not only intensified the audacity the bully, but also the frequency of Mobattacken. So loud mirror online 17 percent of British teacher by e-mail or SMS are bullied. It is noteworthy that only 1 / 3 of the bullied teacher suspects the student. Many feel bullied by colleagues, supervisors or parents. It can be seen that the anonymity of cyber bullying appeals to a much wider circle of perpetrators. Bully send obscene, intimidating SMS or abusive e-mails or defame their victims in chat rooms. Others make spurious recordings with the phone. These new forms of cyber bullying have the same drive as any other bullying attack, but the Mobbende can more fühlen, da er nicht direkt mit dem Opfer konfrontiert wird, und der Gemobbte nicht weiß wer ihn mobbt und wieso. Um gegen das Cybermobbing vorzugehen hat die britische Regierung neue Service Provider geschaffen, die beraten, informieren und helfen sollen, sich gegen die Attacken zu wehren. In Großbritannien ist jeder fünfte Schüler Opfer von Belästigungen über das Internet, 1/3 davon redet darüber nicht mit den Eltern. Sich dort Hilfe zu holen kommt für sie nicht in Frage, da sie Angst haben ihren Computer oder ihr Handy abgeben zu müssen. Der Hauptpunkt, der das Cybermobbing besonders gefährlich macht, ist das breite Publikum, das über das Netz zugeschaltet ist. Die Schmach ist somit für den Betroffenen considerably larger.
Australia
is in Australia, the Western Australian government, according to the Australian IT portal, now € 400,000 available to conduct a comprehensive study of 4,000 pupils in 40 schools. The head of the Australian study, Donna Cross says that he expects from this study better information for parents and students, and spread new and more effective policies against Mobbingattacken.Am most were the bullying attacks in young people between 11 and 16, striking is the possibility that cyber bullying more common in girls than in boys occur. "The best way to protect themselves by as few Daten von sich im Internet preisgibt. Darüber hinaus können Mobbing-Inhalte natürlich beim Provider oder einer Anlaufstelle gemeldet werden", so Thomas Günter, der Justiziar bei der Initiative jugendschutz.net. Besonders bei Internetgemeinschaften, die sich explizit auf das schulische Umfeld beziehen, erreiche dieses Phänomen bedenkliche Ausmaße.
Kein Gesetz in Sicht
Deshalb forderte im Sommer 2007 der deutsche Philologenverband eine Änderung des Telemediengesetzes und mehr Rechte für die Opfer von Internet-Mobbing.Passende Gesetze lassen jedoch weiterhin auf sich warten, da der Petitionsausschuss des deutschen Bundestages die Meinung vertritt, dass ein gesetzliches Verbot von Mobbing lediglich symbolische Bedeutung erlangen könnte. Auch ohne Anti-Mobbing-Gesetze ist es jedoch möglich, sich auf dem Rechtsweg gegen Mobbing zu wehren. Dabei ist essentiell, dass das Opfer eigene Beweise sammelt. Ein Beispiel wäre ein so genanntes „Mobbing-Tagebuch“, in dem der Betroffene die Mobbingattacken gegen sich dokumentiert. Der erste Fall, bei dem aufgrund dieser Beweise Schadensersatz gezahlt wurde, war schon am 1.08.2002.
Mobbinghilfe versucht mitzuhalten
Die Bemühungen ein Auffangnetz für die exponentiell ansteigenden Mobbingopfer zu errichten sind enorm. Doch Rechtsanwalt Tobias Röttger kommentierte die aktuelle Situation mit den Worten: „Zu Cyber-Mobbing gibt es not affected numbers - the amount is still unknown "and it will be for all the help never complete protection against such attacks..
