brand new yahoo email account And from that account you

00:43

post all kinds of pictures of that east wyoming high

01:24

high bully spends practically all day on facebook and he

01:27

accept every friend request especially from good looking girls Two

01:32

minutes later it's bingo you're in you start with just

01:36

a friendly post a how you been jeremy He responds

01:39

pretending he knows this sandy character a few more chit

01:42

chatty things and then you unleash is that a mustache

01:46

01:49

never evolve Maybe take a bath once in a while

02:18

Hit the spot Hey jeremy you wear depends who That

02:22

one hit below the belt literally And the bed wetting

02:25

bully who has always had a short fuse loses it

02:29

but you got him back So all school now right

02:31

But now fast forward a day of teasing and stewing

02:34

and well in wyoming they have guns Jeremy grabs his

02:37

dad semiautomatic out of the bedroom goes to the mall

02:41

and just opens fire It gets off a ton arounds

02:47

and ends up killing a dozen innocent people including six

02:50

kids before he's finally shot down and killed by a

02:53

cop Wow yeah that that escalated in a hurry didn't

02:57

it Well you don't have much love lost for jeremy

03:00

but you really didn't expect him to go nuts and

03:02

kill a bunch of people right And he's dead that's

03:06

fair punishment for some bullying facebook post right now things

03:11

are a mess There are cops swarming all over the

03:13

place They want to know why this happened Cops fbi

03:18

cia and are a man Could you have predicted the

03:23

explosion Probably not But are you guilty of gross negligence

03:28

manslaughter some of their crime that warrants a whole lot

03:31

of bully friendly prison time Maybe we'll think about the

03:35

law You have the right to a trial by a

03:37

jury of your peers Well who are the pierced For

03:41

the most part parents are well children at least And

03:44

this event was on the news locally Every night for

03:47

a month the prosecutors in cops and everyone else are

03:51

looking for someone to blame Odds are really good that

03:54

they'll work hard to find someone to throw under the

03:57

bus but you don't really have any tracks to cover

04:00

right You did a good job keeping your hands clean

04:02

right Not so much So let's go back over the

04:06

likely steps from here Well first the authorities are going

04:08

to go through the shooter's computer In fact they don't

04:11

even need his computer to do so They could just

04:14

get the data right from facebook Thank you marc They'll

04:16

quickly see the exchange between the bully and the victim

04:19

and well of course they all want a question that

04:21

exchange But you were smarter than the smartest guys at

04:25

the cia and the nsa Right That second phd from

04:29

stanford's computer science department Really help you Oh wait that

04:33

wasn't you getting that second phd from stanford Well then

04:37

yet you're screwed Here's Why everything that you type or

04:40

anyone else types get stored the data from here You're

04:44

home keyboard or that of kinko's to the local telephone

04:47

company where it's safe and well it then goes out

04:50

into the greater internet beyond as part of the data

04:53

there's usually a direct or indirect address that goes with

04:57

any posting or account Creation or other formal form of

05:00

storing things that address is called an i p address

05:04

or an internet protocol address and a typical one when

05:07

it looks like this the number's operate like zip and

05:11

area codes so that the routers can route data from

05:14

the right computer to the right computer It's always four

05:17

numbers separated by periods each number khun b between zero

05:21

and two hundred fifty five that's two hundred fifty six

05:24

possibilities for each slot and every number represents eight bit

05:29

or one bite of information that identifies your computer as

05:33

well yours without an i p address you don't really

05:36

have anywhere to receive data so in order to be

05:39

on the internet generally speaking you need one There are

05:43

ways to get around this issue Well that's second phd

05:45

at stanford would have shown you how but while you're

05:48

still just in high school and you're like a b

05:50

minus student so sorry you're going to be arrested instead

05:53

no future for you kit goes by the way has

05:56

its own security router at its stores So it's ipe

05:59

addressing is cl clear and standard and it would have

06:02

taken an investigator five minutes tto learn that the facebook

06:05

account was created in this state in this county in

06:09

this inner lot of bank of computers controlled by the

06:12

local phone company and from this computer it was done

06:16

at four Thirty eight pm and wonder if there are

06:19

any fingerprints left on the computer where gloves much Ah

06:24

yeah i didn't think about that one did you Oh

06:26

in the kinko store Security cameras Yeah they work Oh

06:30

there you are Say cheese and it's not just the

06:32

government sharpies from the ai who could get this information

06:36

anyone can use who is which is a rough way

06:39

of assigning i p addresses the physical addresses frighteningly easy

06:44

but it gets worse It is highly likely that we

06:47

have satellite photos from up on high quietly snapping every

06:50

five minutes or so Pictures of the ground below It

06:53

was a nice sunny day And what law Check out

06:56

this stored satellite photo of the government breaking your civil

06:58

rights Well maybe they broke him Maybe they didn't but

07:02

a dozen dead bodies half of them little kids And

07:05

they really don't care a whole lot right now about

07:07

your civil rights So how about the rights of the

07:10

kids to not be gunned down in a mall Oh

07:13

and guess what Here's your truck Not another purple truck

07:16

around for miles and miles and miles and satellites don't

07:20

charge anything extra for a time stamp And yet looks

07:24

like that truck was parked outside this kinko's at exactly

07:27

for thirty eight p M and you're thinking about all

07:30

this as the prosecuting attorney is asking you why you

07:33

went to such pains to drive all that way Toe

07:36

hide actions you clearly took and subsequently denied when the

07:41

cops first i asked you about it Oh and it

07:44

gets worse Your cell phone was left on Well cellphones

07:47

hand off their signals from tower to tower So in

07:50

fact you could easily be traced within the vicinity And

07:52

it's clear that the handoffs happened along this freeway route

07:55

right here And lead you right to the kinko's Yeah

07:58

right here Anyway becomes clear that it is was you

08:01

who was sending the harassing messages that triggered everything that

08:05

changed the town's life No doubt about it to a

08:08

jury of your peers So let's assess are you criminally

08:14

liable Maybe Or maybe You'll get off after a few

08:18

hundred thousand dollars of legal bills Are you civilly liable

08:22

Like could the families of the dead victims sue you

08:25

for being reckless and endangering Well they can definitely sue

08:30

you They may or may not win but lots and

08:33

lots of lawyers would line up for free to sue

08:35

you and your family If you're under eighteen you know

08:38

they're liable if you're under eighteen for things like this

08:41

And even if the lawyers didn't win a cash settlement

08:44

the odds that they bankrupt you and your family just

08:46

from the legal defense bills were really high And lastly

08:51

what about crazy uncle larry the uncle of one of

08:53

the dead children that the guy slaughtered in the hall

08:57

Larry adored little lucy who has now gone from this

08:59

world what you think larry has seen the movie seven

09:03

Well he's just waiting to find a time when you're

09:04

all alone in a parking lot where you have a

09:07

nice cot waiting for you in his nondescript all white

09:10

van Yeah and it's not just bullies who can use

09:13

your online presence toe hurt you people have logged on

09:16

to twitter and gone On a rant about politics or

09:19

sexuality or religion and the next thing they know they're

09:22

out of a job Others have posted that they're on

09:25

vacation in costa rica for the week And when they

09:28

arrive back home they find that their entire house has

09:31

been cleaned out He's Pretty much for sale on ebay

09:34

done by some burglar who was very grateful for all

09:37

the free information Well it may help to be familiar

09:40

with the language of the internet too Not just your

09:42

own g's and ella wells A handful of important terms

09:46

will help you understand how a cyber bully might track

09:48

you down and what you can do to hopefully keep

09:51

him or her or it out of your life Is

10:05

there such a thing as the perfect crime Is it

10:09

possible to glean the rial identity of the person that

10:12

you're talking to in a chat room How likely is

10:15

it that a cyber bullying victim will do something drastic

10:20

Should cyber bullies be held criminally liable In some cases 00:10:24.059 --> [endTime] How about in all cases The perfect crime
