Annotated Article 1

Associated press argues that the laws against cyberbullying are not strong enough. They claim almost every state has a law or other policy prohibiting cyberbullying  but very few cover intimidating outside of school property. The staff develops this claim because, they interviewed a girl from Georgia, named Alex, who was harassed online off campus and the police said there was nothing they could do because the harassment happened off school grounds. Associated press quotes Parry Aftab by saying "Parents are feeling very frustrated, and they just don't know what to do." finally, they state "thirteen states specify in their bullying laws that they have authority over off-campus incidents if they disrupt the school environment, according to an analysis from the US Department of Education published last December."The staff's purpose is to inform the audience that cyberbullying is an issue and that the laws placed ageist it are too weak.
