Captain Forensics Fights Cyber-Bullying
Last week we put up a post on cyber-bullying. This is a terrible trend impacting children around the world in very serious, and even deadly, ways. While our blog posts here will focus more on the serious sides of these issues, we also have an outlet that lets people learn about these issues through a quick, easy to understand and fun method: comics. We’ve started a comic series titled “Captain Forensics” that deals mostly with computer forensics, cell phone forensics and eDiscovery topics and lets people of all ages learn while having some fun. Our most recent comic on Captain Forensics is beginning to deal with cyber-bullying and how cell phone forensics and computer forensics can help.
Captain Forensics is setup in a manner similar to our blog, where you can sign up to receive updates through your email. On both this site and Captain Forensics, the email updates box is on the lower right side of the page. By signing up to receive updates by email you’ll always have the most up-to-date postings in a very convenient location. You can read Captain Forensics by either clicking on this sentence or the image below.
For those of you who are local to us in the New Jersey area, these topics are often hitting close to home. A recent article in the Courier Post titled “Teens Caught ‘Sexting’ Face Porn Charges“states:
“This week in Spotsylvania, Va., two boys, ages 15 and 18, were charged with solicitation and possession of child porn with intent to distribute after an investigation found they sought nude pictures from three juveniles — one in elementary school.”
Clearly this is a much more serious problem than most people believe. The legal consequences these children face will stay with them for much of their lives. Cyber-bullying, ’sexting’ and other topics involving children and cell phones or the internet are showing a strong need for education and communication between authority figures and children as, the Courier Post article ends with:
“He required each to do community service and to ask peers if they knew sexting was a crime. They told O’Malley they surveyed 225 teens; 31 knew.”
