How to Fight Cyberbullying?

Bullying has been an issue that has been around for centuries, one that we are still struggling to overcome.  In the past, these issues were witnessed in person, which allowed for the possibility of resolution before it truly escalated into something drastic.  Now our schools face an enemy that cannot be seen in the halls or more than likely one that will never take place on school grounds.  

At this moment, dealing with Cyberbullying has become a state by state issue.  For example, Maryland has passed Grace's law, named after a high school student who tragically took her life due to bullying (Below).

Misuse of Interactive Computer Service (Grace’s Law). Passed legislature 4/2013. Named after Grace McComas, a high school student who committed suicide in 2012 on Easter after being cyberbullied by a neighbor. “This bill prohibits a person from using an “interactive computer service” to maliciously engage in a course of conduct that inflicts serious emotional distress on a minor or places a minor in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury with the intent (1) to kill, injure, harass, or cause serious emotional distress to the minor or (2) to place the minor in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury. Violators are guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for up to one year and/or a $500 maximum fine. 

The law above is a very aggressive move made to fight Cyberbullying, a very positive step in the right direction.  As for schools, each district is obligated to create their own anti-bullying policy, as well as report each case according to the Safe School Act of 2005.  How else can we help our students through these tough times?  What are the roles of parents?
