people on these websites. Even kids have taken to these sites with much gusto. They
are born digital citizens. But how safe are children on these sites? It’s not just
hacking that’s a threat to children. A new menace is on the rise, mostly
unnoticed so far. ‘Cyber bullying’ the virtual version of bullying is widely
prevalent amongst children. Three Mumbaikar’s have taken up the task to protect
children from this cyber threat. Discovering Mumbai presents ‘CyberSmartie’, a
