3. I. CYBER BULLYING
An action takes place online that is intimidating,
harassing, and hurtful to another person through
electronic technology such as cell phones,
computer, tablets, as well as communication tools:
text message, social media, email...etc.

4. IS YOUR CHILD
BEING
CYBERBULLIED?
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. Disengage immediately. Bullies
want a direct reaction, and if you
retaliate, this behavior can make your
child culpable too.
Have you noticed a sudden
change in their emotional
behavior?
ASK YOURSELF THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Are they avoiding or becoming
upset by technology?
Has their willingness to attend
school changed suddenly?
3.Take the proof to the school and if
necessary, the police.
2. Report bullying to the site or
network on which it occurs. They
may deactivate the bully’s user
account.
