Connections: Why Are Most Cyberbullying Incidents Not Reported?

A new report finds that most New York state schools are not reporting cyberbullying incidents. New state rules are intended to track how many students are harassed and bullied, but it appears that so far, the "Dignity for All Students" Act is a failure. Why? We'll talk to the reporter who compiled the data that has raised concerns. And we'll sit down with a man who has seen cyberbullying from a number of angles. Guests:

Lauren Stanforth, Times Union reporter
Bryan Ball, founder and managing editor of BentRider Online
