UPDATE: If you would like to learn more about the MySpace Recording tool built in to Spector Pro please click here
If you have been watching TV or reading the news, you more than likely know that Myspace is a very popular topic. While Myspace.com has many great benefits, there are several problems that are on the rise among children that visit or sign up to become a member.
For example, cyber bullying is a very common thing to see on Myspace blogs. It can come in the form of a hurtful blog entry that has the sole purpose of picking on a child, or a group of children. In these blogs they may even post pictures of their victim if they chose to.
After the cyber bully has posted the blog with the images of their victim, they may then go to school the next day and tell all of their friends to visit the Myspace blog. It really does spread like wildfire.
How does this leave the victim feeling? Embarrassed, humiliated, and isolated by their peers because posting that kind of slanderous material is only going to incite people to join in on the bullying and before you know it, several people are anonymously picking on a person for no other reason than to have fun at their expense.
Does not seem fair, does it?
It shouldn’t and if you are a parent that has concerns about this kind of activity regardless if your child is participating or not, you need to know about it. SpectorSoft has a strong stance with regards to providing parents with the right kind of tools that can alert and possibly prevent cyber bullying from occurring on the computers that their children are using.
For example Spector Pro will provide you with a simple and easy to use myspace recording software that will effectively track all internet activity from places like myspace, but also record ANY other kind of internet and computer activity.
If you are looking for child monitoring software that has a built in keylogger, email recorder, chat recording tool and also provides you with selective parental controls, then you will be pleased to know that Parents use Spector Pro because they can have all of that rolled in to ONE program.

Seriously, if you are "cyber bullied", you should just go away. It is only the internet, people don't have to take this so seriously. How lame and shallow is it to feel bad if you were e-insulted? LOLOL
I can certainly respect your opinion, but in all reality there are many younger children that do not feel the same way. Thank you for your opinion.
I do NOT agree with your peoples' opinions, Peoples' feelings can get hurt very bad from being cyberbullied. And it should be taken seriously! And how lame and shallow is ANONYMOUS to even say that!
I disagree with ANONYMOUS opinion. If kids are cyber bullied it should be taken seriously. peoples feelings can get hurt real bad. Just because someone feels bad if they were "e-insulted" does not mean that they are "lame or shallow"
if someone is "e-insulted" it does not mean they are lame and shallow!
the thing about cyberbullying is that you can't just go away, whatever is posted stays posted and continues to grow, even if your not looking at it. Just like with this, people can constantly add their comments. The bigger problem with that is the fact that what happens online does not stay online. people saying stuff online will only follow you at school, work, and everywhere else.
I agree. I think cyber-bullying is something that needs to be dealt with in our schools, and in our communities. Parents should take the initiative to guard their children from this type of harassment, and encourage their children to report it if it happens. Thank you so much for bringing this to light, Spectorsoft.
Insulted by strangers in a chat room doesn't matter. But what about when you see these poeple everyday, in your classes, and then they toddle off home and log into Myspace?
Evidently ANONYMOUS has never been bullied online OR been the parent of a child that has!!!! Get out of this forum-you don't know what you're talking about!! My child has been bullied on Myspace and it has DIRECTLY affected EVERY aspect of her OFFLINE life!!
I am putting together a lecture on internet bullying, mainly focusing on myspace harrassment and hoping to bring it to my local schools, so thanks for making this an upfront issue. This is a real problem in real life that needs to be dealt with. People really need to be informed of the fact that teasing someone and being so full of hate are things that are in two totally different dimensions of abbhorent behavior. If you have a personal story or some info (or even a question?) please contact me!

I am a 20 year old woman who is absolutely sickened by the cruelty of children these days and I really really feel I need to at least try to help. Even if every child I ever speak to just scoffs at me and walks away, I hope they still walk away with a message to always be at the very least indifferent toward something that rubs them the wrong way.
My teenage daughter is experiencing cyber bullying not from peers, rather from young parents of these kids who are trying to live their lives through their kids. To date we have two police reports, as the dad verbally assaulted my daughter in a public place. What we cannot do is get the mother to take a picture of my daughter off her Myspace pictures which has a picture comment..."Shoot her in the face." Sorry, you take this outside of myspace and continue with the comments and allow actual threats to remain on an adult site, that's crossing the line. Yet nothing, to date, can be done about it.
Ok seriously you can't just go away from a problem like this. It just doesn't happen!!! If you seriously think this is a solution you obviously didn't hear about the little girl that KILLED HERSELF BECAUSE OF MYSPACE! Maybe some people should think before they speak! Bullying is a serious issue whether it be in person or online. It should not be taken lightly!!!!
Ok, 'anonymous' had it mostly right. All's it takes is not going back. But really, if your are a young kid being 'cyber bullied' and are goning to get all upset about it, maybe you shouldn't have gone online in the first place. I'm not saying that there isn't a problem with these 'cyber bullies', but all it takes is to ignor them. There are age restrictions out there for a reason people... suck it up...
And someone mentioned the girl that killed herslef over myspace... She obviously had larger issues in her life, like a mentel disorder that wasn't properly treated. It's time to stop blaming the websites and make people responsible for their own actions.
okay anonymous you need to look up the definition of shallow first off.. and second, yes, they may have had other issues, but that doesn't mean cyber bullying didn't add on to the problem. you people that think it's okay probably need some sort of help also.
okay anonymous, you a pathetic enough to say that cyber bullying is shallow and blah blah blah, making fun of the issue when it is a serious matter that many people live with everyday, maybe you should look up the definition of shallow. while you're at it look up lame, also.
