At this point, I think we all know what cyberbullying is, even if we haven’t heard that particular term. Essentially, it’s the modern day equivalent of writing something nasty about someone else on the bathroom stall at school. If that stall were unisex and used by millions of people. Well, in New York County, they’re doing something about it - enlisting the aid of Spider-Man to fight the cyberbullies. If they got Power Pack involved as well and talked about the evils of smoking and child molestation, it’s be the perfect geek PSA hat-trick.

Westchester County has hired an expert on “cyberbullying” to talk to students, teachers, parents and police about young people who harass their peers with mean-spirited Web sites, hounding text messages, invasive cell-phone photos and other high-tech tools.

Parry Aftab, executive director of wiredsafety.org, will conduct a “summit” on the issue Feb. 8 at the Westchester County Center, County Executive Andrew Spano announced Tuesday.

She will be assisted by Spider-Man under an arrangement between her organization and Marvel Enterprises Inc. “Kids will listen to him,” she said, pointing at a man in a Spidey outfit during a news conference.

I wish I had video of one of these assemblies. Full story here.
