‘I will not lose my daughter because of online bullying’

A mother has urged parents to be aware of what their teenagers post online after cyberbullying drove her daughter to attempt suicide twice.

A mum from Limerick said her 17-year-old daughter is in a much better place now following an outpouring of support after she went public about her year-long ordeal.

She told The Opinion Line on Cork’s 96fm yesterday that she had to speak out publicly in the hope that teenagers will think twice before they post, and that their parents will pay more attention to how their teenagers use social media.
