Do's

• Talk with your child about cyberbullying.
• Tell your children not to respond to any cyberbullying threats or comments online.
• Document the cyberbullying by keeping a record of any online cyberbullying activity.
• Report the cyberbullying to your internet and mobile service provider.
• Report any abusive content on your child’s social networking sites to the provider (e.g. Snapchat, Twitter, and Facebook).
• Report the cyberbullying to your child’s school.
• Report the cyberbullying to the RCMP, especially if there are threats of violence or sexual harassment.

Don'ts

• Do not tell your child to “just ignore it”.  
• Do not blame your child for being cyberbullied.
• Do not criticize them for not coming to you earlier, or for how they’ve handled things.
• Do not tell your child to retaliate. If your child begins responding, it may escalate the situation and spur on the person doing the cyberbullying.

Help kids recover from cyberbullying.
