Project tackles cyber bullying | Fraser Coast News | Local News in Fraser Coast | Fraser Coast Chronicle
Councillor Belinda McNeven said: “A lot of cyber bullying occurs because of this Facebook phenomena. “Children are posting their feelings instantaneously, instead of taking the time to consider how they might make other people feel if they put such information up for the world to see. Kids need to think before they act. But the truth is it's just not OK to bully people.”
Hervey Bay's Cyber Safety Project committee recognised the problem bullying plays both in the schoolyard and over the internet and have given the project their utmost support.
“Fraser Coast youth workers have identified that cyber bullying is an emerging crime and hope this further initiative will help address the issue,” Ms Hammond said.
“I hope that by talking with youths I will be able to develop strategies to help parents and youths.”
