Cyberbullying on Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms: Tips to keep your kids safe

As children increasingly access the internet, they become vulnerable to cyber attacks, including cyberbullying and identity theft. To protect them, parents should educate them about online safety, review privacy settings, monitor their social media accounts, and teach them not to share personal information. If bullied, children should log off, save evidence, and inform trusted adults. They should also be cautious about sharing online and avoid sharing passwords. Being kind to others online is important, and children should seek help from trusted adults if they experience bullying.
