FOCUS : SPREADING RUMOURS AND GOSSIP Particularly damaging as it can spread fast and to a vast audience Particularly damaging as most commonly it is done by people who you once classed as friends and have shared things with. Be careful what you share and who you share with. This can be classified as a form of harrasment
AG- FOCUS : THREATENING BEHAVIOUR This is more serious and can be illegal as it's against the law in the UK to use the phone system, which includes the internet, to cause alarm or distress. Things that are legal face to face are often not legal when committed to print It could also be against the 1997 Harassment Act.
FOCUS: BLACKMAIL AND GROOMING Starts off as friends and then inappropriate requests are made that increase in level such as : Taking clothes off Performing acts of a sexual nature Sending intimate pictures These are then used to blackmail the young person such as if you don t do more I will send them to your parents/friends/social group/you tube . This is BLACKMAIL This process is known as GROOMING If this is happening report to CEOP (The Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre )and they investigate cases of sexual abuse and grooming on the internet. You can report incidents by clicking the red button on the top right hand corner of the CEOP website. If this is happening to your child DO NOT delete anything as it can be used as evidence.
TIPS AND ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG PERSON If things get nasty and abusive- BLOCK Save the evidence and do not delete. Screen shots/print outs Don't upset people and then upload their pictures for other people to have a laugh. That could be harassment. Don't digitally alter pictures of people either because what you think is funny may be offensive to other people. Don't let anyone take pictures of you that might embarrass you. If you have seen someone being bullied online, you can report it to the online site or app. Keep safe by using unusual passwords.
