Eastleigh MP Mims Davies is asking local residents to contact her if they have been victims of cyber-bullying after she raised the issue in Parliament.
Mims told MPs that it was vital to help children, parents and carers deal with vile online abuse and cyber-bullying in the digital age with increasing fears over young women being abused online by so-called friends or partners.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan replied that better education was needed if young people are to be robust and resilient if they come across unwanted images or cyber-bullying.
“As a mother of two daughters myself, I’m very concerned about how they and other young people interact with others in cyberspace and I welcome the Government’s launch of the This is Abuse campaign, which tackles abuse within teenage relationships and will be launched later this year.
“This is an increasing problem that is not going to go away, so I’d like to hear from people who have experienced cyber-bullying or any form of online abuse, so that I get to know more about what is happening and report back to the government on what could be done to stop it.”
