Remember: Block stops the messages. Report tells the helpers. Do both with a grown-up. It is not tattling.
Omar and the dings
Read the story first, then answer.
Block and ReportOmar was eight. He shared a robot hamster drawing on a picture page made for kids. Ding! A message came from someone he did not know. Ding, ding! "Why are you not answering? Answer me now!" Omar did not answer. He took the tablet to Nana, who said, "I am so glad you showed me." Nana took a picture of the screen to keep a copy. Omar tapped the three little dots, and a menu opened. He pressed Block, with Nana right beside him, and the messages stopped. Then he pressed Report, which tells the app's helpers to look. "You are not in trouble," said Nana. "You did a brave and clever thing." Later, Omar's friend Bram said that telling is tattling. "It is not tattling, it is reporting," said Omar.

5True The helpers may even be able to stop that person bothering other people too.
