ISPCC aims to tackle online bullying

A campaign on the dangers of cyberbullying warns children that “words can hurt, choose them wisely”.

The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC) has launched a week-long campaign, running until Sunday, highlighting how cyberbullying is a modern challenge not only facing children, but parents as well.

Unlike traditional bullying, the ISPCC points out that, with online bullying, a much wider audience is reached within seconds and the messages can be permanent.
