If your child is a victim of cyberbullying, it’s crucial to handle the situation carefully:

• Stay Calm: Don’t overreact or respond aggressively. Encourage your child not to engage with the bully, as it may escalate the situation.
• Document Everything: Take screenshots and save all evidence of the bullying, which may be needed if you need to report the incident to the authorities or school officials.
• Report to Platforms and Schools: Notify the social media platforms or apps where the bullying occurs, as they have processes to handle these cases. If the bullying involves classmates, report it to the school administration.
• Provide Emotional Support: Reassure your child that they are not alone and that you’re there to help. If necessary, consider counseling to address emotional trauma.
• Involve Law Enforcement if Necessary: If the bullying involves serious threats, violence, or stalking, contact law enforcement. In severe cases, cyberbullying can escalate to criminal behavior, requiring legal intervention.
