One new article link has been added to our Related News page. The Huffington Post published an article titled Sexual Harassment Victim’s Secret Weapon — ‘Telling Their Mothers’.

Alanah discovered that, in some cases, she could find the young man’s mother’s contact information by reviewing their Facebook profile. As the above tweet demonstrates, she’s had at least one successful case where the mom has agreed to speak with her son.

This is a novel approach to dealing with young trolls that might work in some cases. Of course, it requires first being able to identify the harasser, which isn’t always possible, and also being able to track down his mother. And it assumes that his mom will have a chat with him and that it will have an impact. There are a lot of “ifs” to this equation but it’s not a bad idea.
