CYBERBULLYING AND CRIME, Audio Ep 113

Hey guys, we're getting ready to start the radio show. I hope you'll join us. And just for some fun, who knows what this, oh where it's here, this means.

It was a gift to me by my niece and it's a very good message. So I hope you guys enjoy the show. I love it when you guys tune in.

Yes, she does. I can say so. Please tune in. Okay, so we'll start very short. So what are we going to do today? Today we're going to talk to Dr. Dr. Nuccitelli. Nuccitelli deals with internet dangers that we all need to be aware of.

We don't want to fall into that trap. So we're here today to show awareness and to prevent any further crimes being committed on the internet since it's very difficult to catch. So at least we can know about it and find some ways to safeguard ourselves and our children. So no more crimes in the internet? You'll stop them? Crimes will always happen. We just need to we just need to educate ourselves.

Cool. And we'll have a special guest, our daughter Michelle Nikolov. Michelle, I'm going to put that camera on you.

Why not actually? Do we show Michelle now? I wonder, I wonder. Right before I close my eyes. The only thing that's on my mind.

Been dreaming that you think that's who I wonder. What it's like to be loved by you. I wonder what it's like.

I wonder what it's like to be loved by you. The Cure with Amy Cabo. Life can bring many difficult situations.

Domestic violence, addictions, poverty, and even sexual abuse by your loved ones. Welcome Amy Cabo and The Cure. Good afternoon and welcome to The Cure Radio Show. I'm your host Amy Cabo with my amazing partner Boris. I'm amazing today.

Well still and always regardless of what's happening. You're amazing too. Our show is available live on your radio also live through our app The Cure on any smartphone and our website goddessthecure.com. We're broadcasting today live from Miami through satellite available in 35 radios in more than 11 states and social media soon after the show any podcast player. This show deals with suffering, the tenacity of the human spirit, the will to survive, and the courage to keep moving forward despite any obstacle with the help of God who enables us to help each other. We provide testimonials to let people know we are not alone and in this show the testimony started with me having been a child abuse, having been a survivor from child abuse well into young adulthood. We also have experts in experts in several fields and inspirational speakers that are willing to help us with valuable information.

Knowing that education is necessary awareness is crucial and comfort is needed. I do believe we all suffer or have suffered from something and we hope to be a source of healing for each other. My healing came from God but other forms of healing are presented as well to service everyone. Life can be very challenging but always know there's someone who cares at least God does.

The song we played earlier was wonder by Shawn Mendes. Sometimes we wonder what it's like to be loved when we lose our faith and start to feel low. We can be so hard on ourselves when we believe the lies feeling like there's no one to turn to and nowhere to go. We feel so very small when we read about the saints believing it's too difficult and it can never be us at all despite the fact that it's our call. The crying never ends when this world conditions us to search for outlets in the wrong places where there are no friends. Still we wonder as we close our eyes what it takes to have God truly on your side. Dreaming of a day when everyone feels it despite all the tears they've cried. God brings new life to all those He redeemed. No need to be afraid or even second guess.

When we become His pride we're full of joy and nothing less. That was nice. Today we want to tackle a very critical issue and a dangerous one the abuse of the internet with criminal intentions and we have a special guest who can help us with this matter Dr. Nucitelli. Dr. Michael Nucitelli is a New York licensed psychologist cyber psychology research and online safety educator. In 2009 Dr. Nucitelli finalized his online aggressor concept called Eye Predator. Since then Dr. Nucitelli has educated and advised online users about cyber bullying cyber stalking and online safety. His educational website called Eye Predator is a public domain free and can be reached by visiting eyepredator.co or co co. Dr. Nucitelli thank you for being on the show you are now live. Oh good afternoon thank you for having me on I hope your listeners are both covid and internet safe thank you. Thank you.

Some of them probably are. Dr. Nucitelli there are so many terms as it relates to internet problems. Some of them I haven't read before but let's go one by one. What is cyber bullying? Well if I may because really Eye Predator which is a concept I wrote in 2010 entails eight different types not that we have to go through them all eight different types or malevolent online activities. You just brought up the first one so the eight types real quickly are cyber bullies, cyber stalkers, cyber criminals, cyber harassers, internet trolls, cyber terrorists, online child predators, online terrorists and then the worst of the worst the online child pornography consumer and distributor. So those are the eight types of online assailants aka Eye Predator.

Wow. So can we go one by one like what's cyber bullying exactly? Okay well first and foremost cyber bullying at least here in the United States and in most industrialized nations is the only one of the eight types of Eye Predator that is only pediatric. I mean cyber bullying is child on child abuse.

It only happens amongst minors. This isn't to say that children can't engage in cyber stalking, cyber harassment or cyber stalking, cyber harassment or any of the other types of Eye Predator activities but cyber bullying itself is child on child online attacks. I'm aware with cyber bullying and I've only witnessed it with with our daughter that they cyber bully her just for the way that she thinks or what she says and and stuff like that. So you know cyber bullying can cause a lot of emotional distress and some kids can be emotional and it could really affect them. If I may I'll use an experience when I was a child I'm 55 years old so when I was a kid and I was bullied seriously bullied I was bullied on the ball field I was bullied at school but the difference is when I was a child when I was done being bullied guess what I could do I could run home. I had a sanctuary. I also when I was bullied I could avoid certain environments to reduce the probability of being bullied.

It didn't work all the time but at a minimum I could go home at the end of being you know attacked. Well cyber bullying it literally can occur 24 7 365 so the information age child when they're attacked now many times they're bullied at school but with cyber bullying which also occurs they are attacked online on the weekends during summer vacation during the holidays so it really is incredibly traumatizing. So for many children who are targets they are bullied at school on the sports field then when they go home and on the weekends they're cyber bullying so this is why I believe cyber bullying is more traumatizing than the pre-information age form of being bullied. Because these kids have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide they're constantly exposed to it. No so and as we know from developmental psychology is that children rarely if ever go to an adult they don't go to a parent not to say always but most often they don't go to their parents they don't go to a teacher they don't go to adults so for the pre-pubescent the puberty minors for them I was a kid once it's not cool to go to adults so to go tell an adult about being attacked online it's rarely going to occur. Now I've been volunteering for the last 10 years helping people after working on the weekends doing this and I don't know how many parents have told me that they know everything about what their child is doing they know everything that they're doing online unfortunately 100% of parents do not know everything what their child is doing online.

Well we're very fortunate to have a child that does come to us with everything not with most everything and her name is Michelle. Hi okay so hi camera that I just saw move like that okay um so just a few days ago I was on my TikTok because I have a fan page and when my account got banned I cried over it for two hours so I've been trying to keep my account alive so I can get my 7000 back and basically it's not about that but basically I got a hate page and then they're like go die and I'm like you think you can hurt me go bully go bully yourself because you're just gonna hurt yourself. So they're saying go die? Yeah they told me that that we can't have this conversation right now.

Yeah we can we're happy about it. It's okay keep going and I think it was like one day ago or two days ago and then just like you're just hurting yourself and then I just blocked them I'm not gonna waste my time on them because it did used to hurt but now it just doesn't I'm like who cares who cares because she learned that words do not hurt. Well when I'm educating when I'm educating parents there are essentially I say there there's three types of young ones that are involved with cyber bullying those that are attacked those that are the attackers and then those are that are the bystanders the bystanders are those that know that a child is being attacked also knows the cyber bully I believe it's not a hundred percent almost a hundred percent of all children albeit children of the information age know about cyber bullying and this is something that that we really need to address and that we really need to look into because our children are at stake not just from cyber bullying but cyber predators with criminal intent we'll continue on this subject when we return we'll be right back with Amy Cabo and The Cure But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss I knew you'd hum all over my wood ears The smell of smoke would hang around this long Cause I knew everything when I was young I knew I'd curse you for the longest time Chasing shadows and ghostly lies I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired And you'd be standing up for me And now we will continue with Amy Cabo and The Cure. Welcome back, this is Amy Cabo, thanks for tuning in. Remember that you can listen to the radio show live through our app The Cure with Amy Cabo or as a podcast, look for The Cure on any podcast platform.

The song that just played was Cardigan by Taylor Swift and this is my take. Deep down inside we all know Christ, we step into the train of life. It can be hard terrain, blood, sweat, tears and those things that leave us staying. Nonetheless we must muster through, there's a greater calling we must attend to.

Whether we are aware of it or not, it's available for all. We either rise to the occasion or we're determined to fall. No one knows their time, what has been given can be taken away from the divine. He holds the keys to heaven's gate and he allowed us free will to choose our fate. Only God knows the ending and he will linger around endlessly, hang with us even when we curse him because he knew once the thrill was gone, it doesn't matter what we know or even if we're young, we will come back to him. Ultimately it's God's will that's done. We are talking to Dr. Nuccitelli who's helping us dive into the internet dark corners.

With no saving instruments. Well it's called dark psychology which I didn't know existed. Wherever there is white there is dark. We talked about cyber bullying which is a very big issue, a lot of kids are dealing with it and it's something that's really affecting kids. As parents we need to teach our kids not to let words affect them even though that's what they teach them in school, the words can hurt you. Dr. Nuccitelli, what are online psychopaths? Online psychopaths. Well first Ms. Cabo I apologize for having to correct you but thank you in a way, dark psychology is a concept that I wrote way back in 2006 which is the dark side of human consciousness. In 2010 a couple years later which includes all the online assailants is called I Predator.

That is the name of my website, the name of my sole proprietor company is called I Predator. Where dark psychology is my concept dealing with the dark side of human consciousness also known as for some evil, I Predator is the information age exploration of the dark side of human consciousness and the presentation of each type of online aggressors. Wow, so you deal with the evil people, God bless you.

Do you go with like, with Cully Waters and stuff? No he's not that type. I deal with the victims and the targets of those folks who've been cyber attacked by those evil people. I just happen by writing I Predator and everything at my website is the presentation of those evil people. Right. I see, and I'm going to try to understand that. There's a presentation of evil people in the internet. No he's presenting it. Oh he's presenting. Right.

The presentation. Well no if I may, not most cyber bullies, remember cyber bullies are children so it's fair to assume I would say 95 to 99% of those children who are engaging in cyber bullying are what I call ignorant cyber bullies and righteous cyber bullies. These are children who are targeting, making fun of, humiliating others.

Why? Because they think it's cool and most importantly they think it validates them and they'll be accepted by their peers. So really there's a developmental reason for why children both bully and now we see cyber bullying. Now my third group, which is the tiniest of cyber bullying, is what I call is the narcissistic cyber bullying. And these are the children, albeit as I said, very small percentage, I don't know how many, but let's say between 1 and 3%, these are the children that harm, humiliate, and exploit other children online.

Why? Not because they're going to get accepted by their friends, but because they enjoy it. And these are also the children that I believe will one day grow up to be access to personality disorder, potentially criminals, and those what we call, as what you mentioned before, are psychopaths or online psychopaths. So, but the rest of the types, the other 7 or 8, are, you know, can be illegal and can be very dangerous and could certainly include evil.

Wow. So these online, I mean as parents, because cyber bullying is so rampant, I mean it's hard for a child not to be exposed to it. So as parents, what's the best way that we can safeguard against these cyber bullies and cyber predators? Well, if I may be, before we went to break, I was, you know, informing your viewers on, you know, what they can do, particularly as parents and as they had mentioned. And again, Ms. Cabo, no disrespect, all children do not share 100% of their online world.

No disrespect. Because developmentally and prepubescent children, 9, 10, 11, or 12, they have yet to individuate from their family, their parents, but once they begin to go through their teen years, they are less likely to share sensitive information that's going on both offline and online. I'm not going to debate that, but that's what research shows and that's, you know, philosophically what I believe in. But understanding that, as I said, I believe 100% of today's children, the information age child, they are either the cyber bully, the cyber belief, aka the target, or, which is the largest segment, the bystander. Now the bystander are the children that know this type of abuse is going on, but they don't do anything about it because one, it's not cool, and two, most importantly, they're afraid if they tell an adult about what's going on, what's going to happen, they're going to be cyber attacked by that bully, so they do nothing. Now amongst the bystanders, which we would really love to be able to figure out a way to encourage kids to do, is the proactive bystander.

And who is that? That is the child who is privy to cyber bullying and, you know, going on, and they actually do something about it. They either confront the cyber bully, they are empathic and supportive of the target, and most importantly, they go to a teacher, a principal, and then oftentimes to an adult to let them know what's going on. That is the proactive bystander, and that is the child that we want to help us in terms of creating online safety. Well, that's her daughter, she's a pro-active bystander.

I have witnessed her convince another child not to kill herself because of cyber bullying, and she has confronted the cyber bully. So we'll continue talking about that when we return after this short break. Please stay with us.

If you'd like to call us and share your experience with online problems, 1-866-3434. We will be right back with Amy Cabo and the Cure. This show deals with suffering, the tenacity of the human spirit, and the courage to keep moving forward with the help of God. I want people to know that there's hope.

I was forced into my abortion because I didn't think I had a choice. I want people to know there's choices. So Amy, my heart is breaking.

I want people to know that there's no choice, no choice, no choice, no choice, no choice. And now we will continue with Amy Cabo and the Cure. All shows are available also as a podcast or a video podcast.

Just look for The Cure with Amy Cabo where podcasts are. And this is my take, I can imagine God telling us, let me take you dancing, there's so much it can show us even more than we can imagine, we just need to do our best moves. We must believe despite the pain, remove all doubt and let faith see us through when we're against the grain. With resolve and every tear, we will conquer every challenge. It was God who said we shouldn't fear as long as we keep them near. Ever since we were created, God knew that we could do it. It's a dance floor like no other.

If we listen to his asking, it's a lovely rhythm known to many who have found peace to stepping to our Father. We're talking to Dr. Nuccitelli about the dark corners of the internet. Yes, doctor, can we go quickly through the other types of high predator just to describe to our listeners what they are like cyber, cyber stalking, internet throw up. You want you want me to give you all the typologies or just try to quickly give you a one sentence description, like one or two sentences description?

Yeah. Okay, so we've got eight tips of online aggressors, as we previously discussed, cyber bullying our children, child on child abuse, the adult form of adult online bullying would either be cyber harassers, cyber stalkers, and internet trolls. Cyber harassment occurs among adults, albeit it can happen with children, but with adults, where I know you, Mr. Nickeloff, and I'm spending my time, my energy, and my effort online.

I'm calling into the Miss Cabo show to try to get to you. I'm sending you emails, I'm doing whatever I can to defame you, to humiliate you into what also is called to character assassinate you. The same internet trolls, that is the same type of online defamation and harassment, but oftentimes the internet troll does not know the person that they're talking about. And most interestingly about the internet trolls.

So this is like, nowadays politics, politicians do hire, you know, professional internet trolls to target other parties and other nations. But an internet troll can be a guy that's sitting at his desk and is an online gamer and gets mad at losing in a video game. So the internet troll is somebody, is an adult, who his or her goal is to inflame and to provoke another online user. To feel better?

To make him feel better, I guess. A little bit more than just to provoke him, to inflame him, to become even more angry and to say more, you know, let's say angry terms so that it can be used. The worst form of the internet troll is what I call the predatory troll.

And this is no joke. The internet troll, the predatory troll not only looks to inflame you online, he goes after your family, your children, your loved ones, your job, your school, your employer. So predatory trolls, they take it to the ninth degree when they are looking to completely character assassinate you to ruin your reputation and if they're successful, and I've seen it happen, get you fired and prevent you from getting another job down the road.

That's how good some predatory trolls are. The next one... And this can be a random person that they just find or pick. It doesn't have to be somebody, it doesn't have to be somebody they know. It could just be a random person. Well most internet trolls, great question Ms. Cabo, most internet trolls are not identified. You don't know them. Usually if you know the person, at least in my concept of my predator, the cyber harasser, they know you. This could be an ex-loved one, this could be a family member. Usually cyber harassment occurs among people that you know that either you're in an adversarial relationship with or it ended with an adversarial outcome.

You leave a job. That is your cyber harasser. Getting back to the three adult forms of online bullying, the third, which is the most serious, which is the cyber stalking or cyber stalkers. Here in the United States, cyber stalking is defined as the direct or indirect threat to your physical safety. So for instance Mr. Nickolov, if I email you more than once, let's say twice, when you leave that studio today sir, you better check your brake lines and your back tires to make sure there's no nine penny nails sticking out of your tires. That would be cyber stalking. I am making a direct threat to your safety by making those comments. That would be cyber stalking.

So you've got those three. You've got the cyber harassment, the cyber stalkers, and then the internet trolls. Cyber crime, very straightforward. It's the least I talk about because you know what criminals are doing.

They're looking for financial gain. That is your ransomware, your spy rares, your identity theft. Now most importantly, which is most of my research, is on the online child predator and online child pornography consumer and distributor. The online child predator uses information communication technology to sexually exploit and groom other children. Now in a pre-information age world, the child molester, the pedophile, had to get up off his butt, get in his car, and drive around in the proverbial van or in his car to go by school grounds.

Well now in the information age, he doesn't have to do that. Ms. Cabo, I can create a social profile on Instagram and I'm no longer this handsome Dr. Nietzschelli. I'm now a 15-year-old freshman that's going to your school right down the road. And guess what?

Would you like to maybe go to the prom with me this coming spring? Meanwhile I'm a 55-year-old man that is looking to ultimately engage you in extortion or getting you to discuss sexually seen conversation. That is the online child predator and they are very dangerous. Last but not least, the cyber-terrorist, well we have yet to see that on our, well not on our slopes, but everyone knows what terrorism is in terrorists. Cyber-terrorism is taking terrorist attacks but doing it online. By the grace of God, we have yet to be targeted by cyber-terrorists.

But needless to say, if and when that occurs, some day long I hope after I'm gone, it is going to cause a major travesty to the country that's the target. Well it's not just that. Don't terrorists use the dark web to train and brainwash some of us and try to recruit? I don't talk much about, I have visited the dark web.

I'm very, you know, I know about it. I have no reason to use it, but it's important to understand for your listeners and your viewers that most eye-creditor, most cyber-attacks do not require the dark web. Most dark web content is the exchange of child pornography, how to download, how to learn about major cyber criminals, different forms of spyware and malware. So really dark web is what it is, it's dark web, but most cyber stalking, if not all cyber stalking, clearly cyber bullying, internet trolling and online child predation occurs on the internet, online, what you and I use on a daily basis. Because kids don't know how to get to the dark web.

I don't know how to get to the dark web. So they like to disguise themselves as a kid and try to pick up another kid. And I've talked to my kids about that, and it's important that you educate your kids because you don't know what your kids are doing on the phone or on the computer at all times. Unfortunately, before we go to break, I wish more parents were like you because unfortunately, and I'm telling you, I can't tell how many, I have literally volunteered for the last decade after working on the weekend. I can't tell you how many hundreds I've helped, but I can tell you of those parents, I would say anywhere between 70 to 80%, again, I don't keep statistics, do nothing with their children because they say to me, Dr. Nuccitelli, I didn't grow up in the information age. I grew up using beepers, which I'm from that generation too.

And when cell phones first came out, they were the size of shoeboxes. So today's parents, if they're not sitting here saying they're ignorant to technology, they're saying, well, doctor, I don't have the time, which I understand. But if you're not a proactive parent with your information age child, don't be surprised if your child doesn't get approached, targeted and grown by an online sexual predator.

Yeah, when it comes to kids, you have to find a way to make the time. It's our responsibility. That's why we brought them here. God has entrusted us with them.

We'd love to hear from you, call us with your story of Internet problem, 1-866-3430. We'll be right back. We will be right back with Amy Cabo and The Cure. Amy Cabo and The Cure. This show deals with suffering, the tenacity of the human spirit and the courage to keep moving forward with the help of God. I want people to know that there's hope. I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right, I need to, baby, to all these lonely nights I love you, baby, trust in me when I say I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right, I need to, baby, to all these lonely nights I love you, baby, trust in me when I say I love you, baby, and if it's quite all right, I need to, baby, to all these lonely nights I love you, baby, trust in me when I say I love you, baby, trust in me when I say I love Q with Amy Cabo on any podcast channel and please subscribe the song that just played is I love you baby by Ellie and Emily with a double e how cool just like me I hear those words I love you baby and it melts my heart I hear it from the one that makes things right the one I know I can truly depend on me trust and need in this constant fight hmm maybe you're talking about something else got it God can replace that loneliness we feel at night trust him when he says he will provide show us the way even in darkness we will see light it's his love that keeps us going because of Jesus and his sacrifice this movement keeps on growing ever wonder why some of us walk around unafraid and glowing even when it's not expected once we follow him his love for us is truly showing because it's God's Providence that has taken place and through his mercy we conquer all when we demonstrate his grace we are talking to dr. Nushet Ali about internet dangers and problems doctor we were talking about all those problems so what is the government response to that all of these criminal offenses how can they are they people prosecuted being prosecuted for that can people call like an 800 number or something unfortunately that doesn't exist yet thank you mr. next we act as a country and again Europe and and if not all industrialized nations we act if we live in a pre-information age world I mean many of your listeners know that the information age as a period of history began roughly 40 years ago in the early 80s sometime it really did become serious when we're dealing with our predators until like 2009 2010 so unfortunately society at large is acting as if we live in a pre-information age world you would think there would be a system in place you would think and I'm very patriotic I support law enforcement I support the courts good goodness gracious I used to be a forensic psychologist but the courts and law enforcement are not set up to help those that are attacked online okay that was optimistic so people like you help them yeah I hate to say fortunately yes mr. nickel but as I said I've been doing it for over a decade the vast majority of folks who call me they've already have been turned away on enforcement they've been turned away by the court system and they've been told by loved ones they're either being melodramatic they're being crazy or deleted and move on the vast majority of people who are calling me in a nutshell they the system does not understand what it means like what it means to be attacked online as I said earlier when I was giving you the example of cyberbullying when I was cyberbullying I could see my bully I could look him in the eyes and goodness gracious hey he punched me kicked me pushed me and at the end of the day I could leave children today and even adults who are attacked the two things that create the most amount of stress and trauma is the unpredictability not knowing it's occurring and unfortunately the the fact that most often times they don't know who's attacking them now you take the even in the in the wild animals you know they pretty much know unless there's incredible stealth er or you know cloaking of a predator most animals know about what it means to be targeted by predators well in cyberspace us adults and children it's very difficult for us to know when we're going to be cyber attacked and who is cyber attacking us and worst upon worst is how we're being a cyber attack in a pre-information age world you and I if we were to get in a fight in a bar let's say it either beat my butt I beat your butt but the only people that would know about the beating in the fight would maybe be the folks in the bar and maybe the community well now in the information age not only does my community know that I've been attacked online and disinformation and inaccurate news my community my county my state my country and if the eye predator is good enough the entire world well when that's no joke what needs to happen for there to be a government response so that we can remedy this situation does if my daughter wasn't there to to try to help this girl not kill herself I mean the kids need to die for the cyberbullying for it to be addressed so that they can retrace the IP address or something if I may I'm doing it right now by talking to you wonderful people by doing online radio you know I don't know if you want to quality a call to action I have an idea goodness gracious the federal government is more than welcome to use because everything I've created is free in public domain I call it IP 3141 that's been a couple of years but IP 3141 is in a continental United States there are 3141 counties what I believe by a federal funding state funding private funding is every county has a program a practice a clinic where individuals in that county can go to and one they can discuss what has occurred whether they've been cyber harassed cyberstalk identity you know whatever the type of so one they're listened to to guess what they're believed nice and to me those are the two most important qualities is to be heard to be believed and obviously the third something is done about it because nothing is getting nothing is being done as I said earlier we act as if we live in a pre-information age world so so what can be done though can we just do like some kind of cyber attack risk assessment I think you do those services right oh well I everything at the I predator website is public domain it's free you're welcome to download everything I don't even ask for an email address all I ask is that you know is to share it with others I'm not asking for attribution or you know a claim I am just trying to get people to think about what they're doing online and of course mr. neck love there are right now 26 different checklist and inventories that online users can download cyberbullying checklist cyber stalking cybercrime digital reputation parenting online predator checklist and inventory you can go there if you want download all 26 print them out if you like them great use them if you don't blow your nose with them the point is is everything at my website is free and public domain nice thank you there's a great tools to have and in in your right doctor I mean I have two teenagers one's gonna be 13 and the other one's 15 that one that's 15 doesn't tell us anything the one that's 13 thank God she talks to us it's close enough but thanks for the correction 11 or 40 the 11 or 14 year old child is the most likely at the highest risk of being targeted by online child predators this isn't a fake can't happen with others but the 11 or 14 and it's as parents it's assuming as your child ages when they're pre-pubescent 10 11 12 13 they're still gonna kind of tell you stuff that's going on but when the child begins to move again a little bit younger for
