NEWS / CYBER BULLYING: Senate looks to youth for insights into cyberbullying (CANADA)


OTTAWA — The Senate human rights committee is set Monday to launch a study on cyberbullying in Canada, and is looking to hear from the experts on the subject: students.

The quick turnaround time for the study — it is scheduled to be completed by June, the end of the school year — is a secondary concern for senators who are reaching out to young people online for the first time.

The committee is turning to social media to get in touch with students nationwide and have them deliver the ideas and suggestions the committee needs to craft recommendations to the government on how to crack down and help those affected by cyberbullying.
