Precis of "Students Create Fake E-Profiles to Bully Peers" by Michelle R. Davis


            Michelle R. Davis talks about fake cyber e-profiles and cyber bulling in her article “Students Create Fake E-Profiles to Bully Peers” (2012) suggest the issues that fake e-profiles are causing. Davis starts off talking about a couple cases were fake e-profiles were created to bully students, how its dealt with, the legal issues with fake e-profiles and cyber profiles, the alternatives to court and how a school that dealt with a fake e-profile learned a lesson form the experience and created rules to keep it from happening again. The author’s purpose is to bring fake e-profiles and cyber bulling to schools and the law attention in order to have rules/laws created to keep it from happing since both students’ and staffs identities are being taken to bully other students. School staff and the government are the audience of this because both could keep this from happening but parents can also be the audience so that they could keep their child from being bullied by a fake e-profile.
