According to Parry Aftab, "our kids need to know that the online services and ISPs will provide their identity pursuant to legal process and they can be found and held responsible for what they say and do online. It’s very important that we teach our children to understand accountability, online and offline. Schools can be very helpful here. Unfortunately, sometimes when cyberbullying occurs the schools get involved in trying to discipline the students for off-hours and off-premises activities, often to their detriment."

Educators should communicate the following information to students: 

• Do not make online threats because they can be suspended, expelled, or arrested.
• Report online threats to an adult.

Educators may not have the authority to take disciplinary action against a cyberbully. Instead, educators and school counselors can teach students the importance of online safety and respecting others on the internet through small groups or workshops.
