NEW YORK (KGO) -- It seems more and more teens are falling victim to cyber bullying these days. Sometimes parents are in the dark, including Sheila Pott of Saratoga found her daughter's Facebook messages too late. Pott's daughter Audrie killed herself after she was cyber bullied following a sexual assault at a house party last fall.
"These streams of messages, there was approximately eight of them, with people that were present at the party; let us know exactly what happened and how she felt, or we probably would have never known," said Pott.
Monday, Katie Couric sits down with Pott to talk about her story and what parents can do to identify cyber-bullying.
