Amanda Todd Investigation Complex

http://www.ctvvancouverisland.ca   / ctvvi   VICTORIA - Her plea for help is so sad and so simple. But experts say finding a way to stop internet predators and online bullying is going to be much more complicated. "It's opened up new possibilities for interacting and affiliating and it's also opened up new possiblities of how we abuse each other and take advantage of each other. And that's what happened to this very vulnerable child" says Gil Wilkes, a Professor in the School of Communications and Culture at Royal Roads University. Coquitlam RCMP are reviewing thousands of tips as they hunt for the people who bullied Amanda Todd online. Police say they are being forced to spend a lot of time responding to rumours, including what they call an unfounded allegation against a Metro Vancouver man. A group of elite hackers called "Anonymous" who generally target social causes have accused the man of bullying Todd, blackmailing her, and circulating a nude image of the teen on the web. CTV News found the man but we are not identifying because there is no concrete evidence against him. He appeared Monday at Surrey provincial court house facing charges of sexual assault and sexual interference with a minor in a case unrelated to Todd. He says he knew her, but he was her friend. Wilkes says it is actually easier than ever to find people online; the internet isn't really very 'anonymous' at all. He says the problem for police is not in identifying a predator, but rather in launching an investigation. Law enforcement doesn't have the resources, the expertise, or the equipment he says. It is still catching up to technology. "You're talking about local police departments. Are they going to be able to hire a full-time person whose a specialist in computer forensics? Probably not. This is where the province needs to step in, the federal government needs to step in" Wilkes adds. There are two separate reports underway looking into bullying nationally and MP's in Ottawa will be debating an NDP motion for a national anti-bullying strategy over the next few weeks.
