There was definitely lots of talk about cyberbullying today from coast to coast. New legislation in Nova Scotia which would allow the ‘police in Nova Scotia will soon have new tools to fight cyberbullying. Provincial legislation proposed today would let police seize cyberbullies’ phones or computers, send letters to their parents, request restrictions to internet use, and even impose fines or jail time.’ Wondering if and when BC could implement this. Also found a video/news article with Christy Clark (Premier of BC). After Amanda Todd’s death, Christy Clark says new laws may be needed to combat bullying (with video) . Interesting thing is that it was written on October 13, 2012. 3 days after Amanda’s death. And here we are 6 1/2 months later listening to the news in Ottawa. Better late than never or could it have been sooner? And if it was sooner, could there have been more lives saved???
Also found this on a site on Cybercrimes and Internet Security to read up on what the kids need to know and what parents need to know. It was an interesting read for sure.
Today is going to be a boring post to read. Just a homework night for all those wanting to catch up on cyberbullying. If you want some more reading, look up Monster March and read the stories about kids who have been bullied or cyberbullied to death. I think the term is bullycide.
Coincidentally, someone asked me whose cat Amanda was holding. I said that it was just a cat in the forest she saw. The cat actually belongs to someone that I have recently met and someone who is committed to working on Amanda’s Legacy. What a coincidence and a small world. Weirdly enough, 50% of all the new people I have met have something in common with parts of either my life or Amanda’s life or the family life. It makes me think about how strangely the world works.

Vendo esta mensagens hoje percebi que em meu pais tudo esta em silencio, ninguém fala sobre o assunto …e percebi como as pessoas estão cegas achando que aqui não existe Buling ,fico pensando o que posso fazer para por este assunto no ar mais rápido que o vento…porque jovens estão indo embora no anonimato sem que ninguém saiba o que realmente esta acontecendo !! Amanda se foi …mas não ficou em vão a justiça esta sendo feita e logo veremos o resultado disto costumo acreditar nas pessoas até que provem o contrario .seja forte !!

Good Night, Carol!
Seeing this message today in my parents realized that all this in silence, no one talks about it … and realized how blind people are finding that there buling here, I wonder what I can do to put this matter in the air faster than the wind … because young people are leaving anonymous without anyone knowing what really is happening! Amanda is gone … but it was in vain justice is being done and soon we will see the result usually trust people until they prove otherwise.’s Strong!

Your “virtual” friends that you have “met”also have things in common with you. With us as virtual friends, I don’t believe the “world worked in strange ways” but Amanda’s spirit did. We were drawn into her world for various reasons…some of us don’t even know why, but here we are to stay, and offer a kind word or two if nothing more.

I rather late be better than never, But we lost so many precious children that it should
have been sooner, We didn’t need to lose ANY of these kidz, If only the cops would get their heads out of their butts and do a days work for a days pay, Whats happening to the Amanda Todd investigation????/ Nothing but lies, lies and more lies, and it will stay that way till people forget
And now the Rehtaeh Parsons case, They had the evidence but refused to act, Anonymous stepped in and got them their evidence, they refused to use it cause it came from us, They still haven’t acted, Only pretend to act. Giving them more tools won’t make a difference.
Maybe I’m wrong with these feelings I have about our lazy national police force and for the kidz sake I hope I am. And that some good comes from it all. Our children are our GREATEST resource and we need to protect that resource at all cost, even if it means waring against the injustices
Hugz 2u Carol 🙂

La Punisher I agree with you that the Canadian police seem particularly apathetic. Police forces around the world use sting operations all the time yet they did nothing to catch the criminal the first time he surfaced in Amanda’s case. Then they set up a team of 20 – 30 investigators after her death and that seems to have been a massive resource grab. The same pattern followed in Rateah’s case. Heads should be rolling in response to this ineptitude!

The picture with the cat is one of my favorites. There is no pain behind that smile, the kind of pain you see in many pictures where she is trying to smile so bravely……
As you say, better late than never but there should have been a legal response much sooner. The world poured out its love for Amanda but the legal response was lacking. I guess lawmakers want multiple episodes to gather before facing a trigger.
