What should the parents do if they suspect their child is a cyber-bully?

Parents may be suspicious that their child is cyberbullying another child or group of children. This may be known through reading their child’s text messages, emails or most likely social media posts. When the parents become aware or are even slightly suspicious, they should require their child to have access to their social media posts in order to determine the extent of the cyber-bullying.

Then parents should discuss the problems with either the parents of the victims or the principal or authorities in order to resolve the problem. Parents should also take the initiative to end their child’s social media until the child proves to show respect to his or her peers. Also, the child should be punished and/or counseled to stop this behavior.
