Audience:
Online harassment can take place in front of an audience of millions. If an embarrassing photo or video goes viral, a digital footprint may remain indefinitely.
Access:
An aggressor can harass the targeted child 24/7. Even at home it can be hard to escape.
Anonymity:
An aggressor can remain anonymous while cyberbullying. Therefore, they can often harass others without being held accountable.
Awareness (or Lack of Adult Awareness):
Cyberbullying can take place on apps, sites, and platforms that parents aren’t familiar with. It’s important to know the apps on your child’s device.
