Best Apps and Products to Prevent Cyberbullying

Protect your child from unwanted bullies in cyberspace. See the tools that will guard your kid's online safety.

The average American teen spends up to seven hours a day in contact with others on electronic devices, and a recent survey by AVG Technologies found that almost one in six 6- to 9-year-olds and one in five 8- to 9-year-olds have experienced what parents consider objectionable or aggressive behavior online. Other research revealed that 43 percent of kids in grades 4 through 8 were the victims of some form of cyberbullying. Although girls are more likely to be targets than boys, boys are quick to spread the bullying messages. Bottom line: It's never too early to take precautions.

To protect you and your growing child, here is a list of mobile apps, social monitoring software, Internet browsers, and other Web-based products to prevent cyberbullying on computers and cell phones.
