Parents urged to learn the signs of cyberbullying to protect their children

Parents need to know the tell-tale signs that their child is being cyberbullied, a psychotherapist has said.

Colman Noctor, a child and adolescent psychotherapist at St Patrick’s Hospital in Dublin, said the genie was out of the bottle when it came to cyberbullying.

“It is very hard to avoid it so we have to put interventions in place to help young people deal with it,” said Mr Noctor.
