What to Do When Cyberbullying Happens? Notice – Recognize if there has been a change in mood or behavior and explore what the cause might be. Try to determine if these changes happen around a child’s use of their digital devices.

Talk – Ask questions to learn what is happening, how it started, and who is involved. Document – Keep a record of what is happening and where. Take screenshots of harmful posts or content if possible.

Report – Most social media platforms and schools have clear policies and reporting processes. If a classmate is cyberbullying, report it the school. You can also contact app or social media platforms to report offensive content and have it removed. If a child has received physical threats, or if a potential crime or illegal behavior is occurring, report it to the police.
