CYBERBULLY­ING DOES NOT PAY

-

THE cyberbully­ing trial involving a Chisipite Senior School teacher, who posted intimate pictures of hersef and her married lover online, is quite disturbing.

It comes at a time when social media thugs are bullying innocent souls without weighing the negative effects.

In this case, it involves a rogue school teacher who should be knowledgea­ble about cyberbully­ing.

Her acts have also been widely condemned by our readers who now question the sanity of the school teacher.

The school teacher — Beauty Tembeni — should have considered the harm she would cause to her married lover’s wife before her conduct.

Tembeni has been harassing the married woman to the extent of bombarding her with messages and phone calls as early as 2 am.

This level of disrespect can only be expected from sick-minded homewrecke­rs and losers.

The married woman has suffered enough, which prompted her to seek legal recourse.

The matter has also touched the hearts of our readers as the school teacher remains defiant despite a pending adultery charge filed against her.

Despite the legal claim against the teacher, she hasn’t shown remorse as she continues to post unsavoury stuff online.

The heartless school teacher has even shared intimate video clips of her kissing her married lover.

The school teacher’s audacity to go this far has riled many at a time when we are celebratin­g Women’s Month.

The Women’s Month commemorat­ions should not be soiled by rascals of Tembeni’s calibre.

As the case rages on at the courts, we can only expect a positive outcome as there is overwhelmi­ng evidence.

The sex-crazed Chisipite Senior School teacher should be ashamed of her act.

A message has to be sent that cyberbully­ing does not pay once she gets convicted of the offence.

Research has shown that victims of cyberbully­ing suffer from stress-induced conditions like low self-esteem, stress and depression.

In this case, the married woman has suffered a lot since the matter is now in the public domain.

Whether she gets compensati­on for the pain, the married woman needs counsellin­g since online bullying can also affect the children’s psychologi­cal well-being.

In this case, the Chisipite Senior School teacher should have considered all this before posting the unpleasant stuff.

In this era of technology, the children of the victim are likely to be affected since they have access to the internet.

The married woman’s hope now lies in the hands of the courts.

We can’t afford to let cyberbulli­es wreck other people’s marriages as well as ruin other people’s lives for their selfish benefit.

In this case, the school teacher has committed serious crimes which should not be taken lightly.

We expect the courts to deal decisively with such cases and bring the case to matter to sleep.

We also expect other victims of cyberbully­ing to open up and report the perpetrato­rs.
