Some Spanish schools begin to use a new protocol against cyberbullying

That he cyber bullying It has become a problem of today's society is a sad reality. New technologies have brought a new way of acting to those who practice bullying, often protected by anonymity. It is everyone's mission to eradicate this issue among young people, including the education authorities.

It is the case of Junta de Andalucía that has proposed a new action protocol in which measures such as snatching the mobile phone from children in cases of cyberbullying.

Protocol for cyberbullying

The Junta de Andalucía proposes a new way of Act to the teachers. Specifically, a modus operandi focused on taking evidence if there is suspicion of cyberbullying. It is for this reason that it is suggested to confiscate a smartphone in case there are suspicions of this problem in order to find possible pictures of humiliating or conversations with the victims.


Another of the measures contemplated in this protocol is that of close attention to the victims. In the case that a case of cyberbullying is appreciated, not only must we act with the possible executioner, but with the victim who may be going through a bad time. She will have to provide all the psychological support and encourage him to report any problems to the center and his parents to try to solve it.

It also contemplates the creation of a team of orientation in order to make children aware of the need to report these cases whether they see them or if they suffer them. It often happens that a case of harassment is not echoed for fear of being considered a snitch or suffering reprisals. This group tries to show that not to inform the authorities of one of these situations makes it impossible to eradicate this problem.


The role of parents in cyberbullying

It does not just depend on the schools fight against cyberbullying. Parents can also play an important role in combating this problem. These are some of the techniques that can be used to help children in these cases:

1. Fluid communication with the child. You have to make him see that he can trust the parents and that they will give all the help they can to put an end to this problem.

2. Prevent the child from feeling guilty about the situation. It must be made to see that the only way to end this problem is to report it and that it can also help others who are suffering from their situation at present, giving an example of courage.

3. Always at his side and attentive to any clue that could indicate that he needs attention and emotional support to get ahead in this harsh process for him.


4. If the child does not want to talk, turn to your friends for more information.
