Coben cites an example from The Christian Science Monitor in which a group of parents find out that their special need children are being bullied online, “There are numerous cases where parents have discovered terrible things happening to their children because they used spyware. In a recent article in the Christian Science Monitor, a handful of parents of special needs students discovered that their children were being called ‘“bastard,’” ‘“tard,’” damn dumb’” and “‘ a hippo in a ballerina suit’” at school; a bus driver even threatened to slap one child, while a bus monitor told another, ‘“shut up, you little dog’” (Coben 1). This can be seen as inhumane and many people think that no one could be the mean especially a bus driver. This quote is basically showing that if the children being targeted had not had their parents checking on them using spyware they would have continued being targeted. Imagine that you had a disability like a wheelchair, Down syndrome, ect. And you were riding the bus and or going online only to find that people were calling you nasty names and telling you to kill yourself. How would you feel? Luckily for these children their parents were able to stop the bullying. Therefore using spyware to check up on your children on the internet, to make sure they aren’t getting cyberbullied is a good thing to
