The Social Network Show welcomes Anna Kavanaugh back to the show on March 24, 2014.

Anna, the Founder and Director of The Anna Kavanaugh Charitable Foundation, talks frankly about cyber abuse and cyber abusers in this episode. Anna, a victim of cyber abuse and a person who has done a lot of research on this topic, gives us a realistic comparison of virtual abuse versus abuse in the physical world. Listen to the show to hear the following questions answered: What do the victims of abuse experience? What are the end results of the abuse? How does violence online compare to violence in the physical world? What is the intent of the abuser? What is the collateral damage and how does this effect the families and friends of those abused? Do men and women cope differently to cyber abuse? How are adults and children affected differently?
