UCC students bullied over Facebook photos

A university has condemned cyberbullying after photographs of students, some in comprising and vulnerable situations, were published on Facebook pages.

University College Cork said it has received several complaints from students who were subjected to online abuse and bullying after their photos were taken and published on these pages, which claim to represent the college, without their consent.

UCC also said some of the pages have contained hurtful and at times, defamatory comments aimed at students and some college staff.
