Parents Fear Cyberbullies Over Terror Attack

CYBERbully1010.jpg What's got NYC parents more worried than Osama bin Laden? Cyberbullies! According to a new poll, the number one fear parents have regarding their children isn't a terrorist attack—the group at Care.com that conducted the survey says, "parents are terrified about what they see as escalating incidents of bullying and cyberbullying. Terrorism is scary because it's the unknown, but it can seem very far away—and we're nine years away from 9/11." Overall, 31% of parents polled feared bullying, and 19% feared their children getting hurt during a terror attack. [via the NY Post]
