Cyber Bullies Lure Unsuspecting Gamers to Virtual Playgrounds

To add to the ongoing progression of "cyber bullying" - being bullied by anonymous kids who use pseudonyms in chat rooms and other Internet venues - these cyber bullies are now coming up with devious ways to overwhelm their prey.

One such technique is to lure unsuspecting users to "virtual playgrounds", frequently ones with no "cyber grown-up supervision".

Lawrence Bender, a researcher of this troubling phenomenon, offers this advice to potential victims.  "Don't let them corner you.  Keep in mind that they have no actual power.  They're not worth your time."

A group of gamers, known as Bodyguard, have offered their services to young users in need of help.
"We will kick their collective cyber asses," vows the leader of the group.
