Review:

Cyberbullying is one of the most damaging and debilitating experiences that children or adults can endure and Susan has thoroughly detailed the legal and policy issues surrounding this growing problem in our schools. I believe that leaders need to be equipped with a crystal clear understanding of what they can do to respond to a known incident and more importantly, how they can create a culture that protects everyone from this type of insidious behavior. This is a book that every school leader and parent should read.
