Pre-teens engaging in online bullying and racial abuse

One in four pre-teens also reported being upset or scared by something online.

Teachers are appealing to parents to clamp down on their young children's online activity as they are catching pre-teens engaging in cyberbullying and even racial abuse of their peers.

The teachers say they need to parents to act because so much of the abuse is happening outside of school hours and they are only hearing about it second hand often days or weeks after the abuse has taken place.
