Cyberbullying presentation Dec. 20

Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through texting or online in social media where people can view, participate in, or share content.

Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation.

Sexting is sending, receiving, or forwarding sexually explicit messages, photographs or images, primarily between mobile phones, but includes the use of any digital device.

Sarah Chavez, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Carbon County will be giving a presentation on the dangers of sexting and cyberbullying at 6 p.m. on Dec. 20 at the Hanna, Elk Mountain, Medicine Bow (HEM) High School library.

The presentation is open to the public.
