David, Father
“I had heard from another parent that their child was being bullied online. I talked to my daughter about it, I wanted to make sure she was treating others with kindness and thinking about how her actions online, and those of others, could impact people.”
Paula, Mother
“An intimate photo of one of my daughter's friends was being shared online. We went to the RCMP and got help dealing with the situation.”
