In October 1994 Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers helped facilitate the Student Crime Stoppers Program in Saskatchewan. Two North Battleford High Schools were the first in the province and since there have been many other school adopt the program.

 

The concept of Student Crime Stoppers not only addresses the issue of crime in the school environment, but also increases awareness that only a small minority of students create most of the problems within the student body. Every student should have the right to go to and from school and attend school without fear of crime or violence. Student Crime Stoppers offers youth the tools to stand up against crime and violence without fear of reprisal or peer pressure, through an anonymous TIPS Line to get the information to those who can stop the crime or violence.

 

The program gives students the opportunity to take charge of their school and in most cases, schools have noted a significant decrease in unwanted activities where the Student Crime Stoppers program is in place.

Protection From Cyber Bullies

School life is being transformed by the Internet and mobile phones.  Kids as
young as six years old are learning and playing online, teenagers are speaking a new language through texting, and students now have an entire World Wide Web to draw from when doing homework.  While the majority of
these interactions are positive, there is a dark side as well: some children
are using these communication tools to intimidate and threaten others.

Bullying is an age-old problem for schoolchildren, but the anonymity of
Internet communications is bringing the harmful practice of bullying online.

A Media Awareness Network survey in 2005 showed that 27 percent of kids who were bullied, were bullied over the Internet.  And a December 2006 Kids Help Phone survey found that an astonishing 70 percent said they had been cyber bullied.  With this in mind, many Internet Service Providers are working to put a stop to this destructive behaviour.

Here are some important tips to help protect your children from cyber
bullies:

• Learn everything you can about the Internet and what your kids are doing online.
• Talk to your children about responsible Internet use and ask them about the Web sites they visit; where necessary, use parental control software to block specific sites.
• Teach them to never post or say anything on the Internet that they
  wouldn't want the whole world - including you - to read.
• Create an online agreement or contract for computer use, with your kids' input.
• Encourage your kids to come to you if anybody says or does something online that makes them feel uncomfortable or threatened
• Watch out for the signs; a reluctance to use the computer or to go to
  school may be an indication that he or she is being cyber bullied.
• Take action if your child is being bullied online; report any incident of
  online harassment and physical threats to the local authorities.
• If the bully is a student at your child's school, meet with school
  officials and ask for help in resolving the situation.
