Make cyber bullying/online threats to be recognised as a serious crime.
There are too many people these days taking their own life due to online threats, bullying etc. If you have ever been to the police about online threats they generally will tell you they cannot help and this needs to stop. It needs to be investigated properly, this will lead to lives being saved.
Online bullying/threats have become a major problem as technology advances, so how many more people need to take their lives before anything changes?
Some facts in the UK about cyber bullying:
There were over 11,000 counselling sessions with young people who talked to Childline about online issues last year
More than 16,000 young people are absent from school due to bullying.
20% of people who experience cyber bullying contemplate suicide, 1 in 10 attempt it.
