This week's information from our YSU officers. Cyberbullying is an unfortunate reality in today's world. Here are some tips for parents if your child has been involved with cyberbullying Make sure your child is (and feels) safe. Safety is the number 1 priority. Be sure to convey unconditional support and help the child understand you as a parent want the bullying to stop as well Talk and listen to your child. Exchange in a calm conversation. Try not to minimize the situation, and ask what they would like to see happen at this point. Collect evidence. Screenshots, recordings of conversations, messages pictures, videos can be used as proof when reporting the incident Work WITH the school. There is a school bullying policy. School admin can help the victim feel safe at school and can help hold the offender accountable. Refrain from contacting the parents immediately. Oftentimes acting out of emotion can lead to unproductive discussions. Take some time to collect the facts and contact the school and or police before moving forward. Contact the content provider. If done on an app/social media, Cyberbullying violates the Terms of Service. Reporting it could allow the provider to remove the post. If needed feel free to use the counseling resources at the school. MPMS has an amazing staff, please reach out to them.
