20 November 2009

15 November 2009

As Anti-Bullying Week begins, we look back at a year scarred by reports of teenagers taking their own lives. Children who were, at times, so viciously targeted by bullies in their schools and on their computer screens they could no longer cope. Today, together with the News of the World, Beatbullying demands a firm response from the social networking industry and a formalisation of intent by all political parties to rise to the challenge of protecting our children from bullying and child-on-child violence.
