HAMILTON, Ontario, February 8, 2013, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Hamilton’s public school board will launch a mobile app called TipOff this month that will allow students to anonymously drop the dime on their peers when they think they are being bullied.Pam Reinholdt, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (H-WDSB) superintendent of student achievement, said that the board is making sure that students have an anonymous way to digitally report the perceived bullying by their peers.“We’re very excited about it,” she said.The TipOff app for iPhone and Android phones, developed by InTouch Mobile, is not to be confused with the “Okamoto Freedom Project” app that bears the same name but that turns one’s mobile device into an early-warning system for fornicators afraid of getting caught in the act.Reinholdt revealed at a board meeting last month that users of the app “will be able to make anonymous reports via a central ten digit phone number or, for those with smart phones, via the HWDSB TipOff Mobile App. Each text report received by the Service Center will be associated with a school name, tagged with an incident type and assigned a priority flag as appropriate.
