Taking on Ask.fm

A father whose daughter took her own life after cyberbullying has pleaded for legislation to tackle the problem to no avail. We need to hit these sites where it hurts, he tells Claire O’Sullivan.

LAST October when I started researching a series on cyberbullying for the Irish Examiner, I had never heard of ask.fm.

It was a friend of mine with a 16-year-old daughter who told me to take a look, that this site took cyberbullying to a whole new level.
