Cyberbullies scare schoolgirls into stripping online

Bullies, no longer content to taunt their victims in the playground, are turning to the Web. They are using e-mail, text messaging and social-networking sites in new forms of victimization, according to Canadian researchers.

Cyberbullies are even forcing their girlfriends to undress in front of Webcams and then sharing the images with others online. "They're pressuring each other. This (pressure) is particularly for girls to send pictures of themselves with their tops off," said Faye Mishna, a professor at the University of Toronto who has been researching the cyberabuse of children.
