Majority of eight to 12-year-olds would not tell their parents they are being cyberbullied, study finds 

Barnardos said the findings were concerning and highlighted the need for the continued rollout countrywide of its ongoing online safety workshops.

Almost two thirds of 8-12-year-olds admit they would not tell their parents they are being cyberbullied while more than half say they have been victims of cyberbullies at least once.

Children's charity Barnardos — which surveyed the children — said the findings reinforce the need for online safety to be taught in schools.
