Website Encourages Cyber-Bullies To Post 'Gossip'
Local Students Upset Over Comments Posted By Fellow Student
ORANGE CITY, Fla. -- Parents are furious over a new website that appears to encourage bullies to post anonymous comments about children across the country.
The website Burnbook.com has already caused problems at one Volusia County high school after mean-spirited comments targeted several students.
"It might cause fights, verbal or physical fights," said one 10th-grade girl who wanted to remain anonymous.
The website lets users create a profile about a school or person and "gossip" anonymously. Many of the posts are too graphic to describe. Not long after someone creates a page about a person and includes their picture (often without their knowledge) the subject becomes a victim of other bullies.
