Kay Stephens is a Midcoast Maine author whose latest cyberbullying prevention book Cyberslammed, just launched this fall under the sponsorship of Time Warner Cable. Coinciding with Maine's first cyberbullying law enacted this summer, which requires schools to implement policies to address bullying/cyberbullying, the book informs parents and educators of six specific cyberbullying tactics kids are using (including Sexting and anonymous aggression) and how to understand, prevent, combat and transform each tactic. The take-away lessons for parents and educators of teens in 5th to 12-th grade are timely and highly informative. Milton Ramirez, Ed.D, a past contributor to Pop! Tech says: "If you have a teen or need to deal with online harassment, this book will do wonders. Practical exercises, tech tactics, and teen vocabulary help you understand the mindset of a bully." The presentation will begin in the Library’s Community room at 6pm. The book will also be available for purchase. For more information: www.cyberslammed.com
