Cyberbully Abuser Checklist
(CBAC)
The Cyberbully Abuser Checklist [CBAC] is an internet safety tool and cyber-attack risk assessment authored by Michael Nuccitelli, Psy.D., a New York State licensed psychologist, forensic psychology consultant and iPredator Inc. founder. The Cyberbully Abuser Checklist [CBAC] assesses a child’s high-risk online activities, cyber-attack vulnerabilities and cyberbully abuser potential. Designed to be multi-functional, the Cyberbully Abuser Checklist [CBAC] is a structured checklist for diagnostics, education, investigation and data collection. The CBAC can also be used for compiling evidentiary information for authorities, Internet Service Providers and the legal system if the child is suspected of being a cyberbully.
Cyberbullying, cyber harassment and cyberstalking is the trinity of Information Age abuse being perpetrated by children who target other children. Dr. Nuccitelli has designed the Cyberbully Abuser Checklist [CBAC]. In addition to developing the CBAC, Dr. Nuccitelli designed 25 other online risk assessment tools specific to the typology, age of online user and organization.
Cyberbully Abuser Checklist
Description
Cyberbully Abuser Checklist [CBAC]: The Cyberbully Abuser Checklist is a 75-item education, assessment and data collection tool designed for parents, teachers, educators and pediatric professionals on a pre-pubescent, adolescent or young adult’s vulnerability and risk potential of being a cyberbully and/or engaging in cyber victimization of others. The CBAC queries and explores areas developmentally relevant to school aged children.
The goal of the CBAC is to investigate & educate children on their vulnerability and risk potential of engaging in teasing, taunting, harassment and disparagement of other children using Information and Communications Technology [ICT]. In addition to an education, assessment and data collection tool, the CBAC has been designed to allow teachers, educators and pediatric professionals to interview, collect data and engage in a dialogue with children on their ICT practices.
The CBAC combines common factors causing children and young adults to tease, harass and target other children motivated by their need for peer acceptance and feelings of domination, power and control. The CBAC can also be used to educate children and classes of students on cyberbullying prevention and intervention. Furthermore, the CBAC is helpful educating children on bullying/cyberbullying bystander dynamics and cyberbullying target recognition skills building. The CBAC also addresses the growth of mobile device technology and attempts by iPredators to infiltrate their target’s mobile devices.
Cyber Attack Risk Assessment & Educational Tool
Dr. Nuccitelli is quoted saying, “It amazes me how some teens are able to both survive and thrive in the Information Age. Cyberbullying, cyberstalking, online sexual predation and cyber harassment await them every day if they let down their guard in cyberspace. Not only support, encourage and educate your children on internet safety, but tell them how impressed with their capacity to stay safe you are.”
