SPRINGS, CA -- September 29, 2016 -- WorldFlix, Inc. (OTC PINK:
WRFX), an App / Technology company that operates through a variety
of niche industries using unique and disruptive technologies,
announces it will target insurance companies to assist in
offsetting possible liability risk, as schools being to see an
increase of cyberbullying cases.
As
a matter of course, parents are generally responsible for the acts
of their children until the age of 18. However, during school
hours, public schools assume the custodial role over children. The
United States Supreme Court has held that teachers and school
administrators, it is said, act in loco parentis in their dealings
with students; their authority is that of the parent. Under this
assumption, parents entrust the safety and wellbeing of their
children to teachers and administrators. As we might expect, and as
the reports of cyberbullying incidents rise, so has the number of
lawsuits against schools, teachers and administrators.
To
meet this challenge, 47 states and Washington D.C. have bullying
laws that include electronic
harassment (Cyberbullying Research Center April
2013 report).
Under
these laws, and in some cases under existing federal laws, parents
or guardians may sue school staff members — on behalf of their
children — for negligence, failing to use reasonable care to
protect students from harm caused by cyberbullying.
This
has led to more schools looking for tools to not just monitor for
potential cases of cyberbullying, but to be proactive in
reducing these cases, and thus potentially reducing liability
risk to their schools and districts.
Swantry
will target insurance companies to help empower school
administrators with Swantry monitoring technology to help them stay
ahead of risk, and potential lawsuit litigation some of these cases
may produce. For the insurance companies a technology such as
Swantry could help keep down liability costs for the insurance
providers, and potential insurance costs for the schools that
implement such monitoring technology.
By
targeting insurance providers Swantry may be able to scale
up its per
student subscriber base more rapidly on a per school, or school
district implementation.
