COSTELLO: This morning, Facebook is rolling out changes to make it easier for kids to handle cyber -- for kids to handle cyber bullying online. So what does that mean for Facebook, now a public company and its users? Alison Kosik is at the New York Stock Exchange to explain. Good morning.</s>ALISON KOSIK, CNN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol. So, Facebook is teaming up with researchers at Yale, at Columbia, and Berkeley, to come up with the changes. This was presented by the way yesterday during its compassion research day. Now, what this is about is how kids can report inappropriate content. The change is specifically targeted for those 13-year-old and 14-year- olds who are the youngest age that the site actually allows. And if they see anything mean or threatening, anything posted like this, they can now click something that says, this post is a problem. That actual phrase replaces the old, quote, "report button" which was kind of seen as to formal and a little cold. So, once they click that new button, they are taken through a series of casually worded questions to help the child sort through emotions and determine how serious the problem is. And after that, they get a list of suggestions either to send a message to the person who made the post or get help from an adult. It's also -- they are also given links to help anyone who may be feeling suicidal. And, you know, Carol, kids spend so much time online -- Facebook really trying to put more support options out there for those feeling bullied on the site -- Carol.</s>COSTELLO: And that's a good thing. Alison Kosik, reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Once again, President Obama is not going to speak at the NAACP convention. Vice President Joe Biden will talk instead. And that has some people thinking that the president is giving black leaders the cold shoulder.
