The new generation artist "Cindy" (whose real name is Peng Xinyi) is suspected to have committed suicide due to cyber bullying, which has caused public condemnation, and there is even an offensive and defensive war on the Internet to track down the real perpetrators of behind-the-scenes bullying and severely punish them! However, the Cultural and Educational Foundation of the Children's Welfare League, which has long been concerned about the issue of campus bullying, reminds us that we are eager to be the initiator of human flesh search, but we will inadvertently become the next victim of cyber bullying. The Children's Welfare Alliance believes that preventing cyber bullying is far more effective than containment.

The Children's Welfare League said that although Cindy's departure is regrettable, pursuing the bully killer can't really solve the problem, but it may be the beginning of another bullying. Rather than tracking down the murderer, we should think about: how to balance the boundaries between freedom of speech and basic respect?

Cyberbullying among children is on the rise. Prevention is more effective than containment.

In recent years, cyberbullying under the table is on the rise, which is as harmful as physical bullying in the past. According to the survey results of the Children's Welfare League in 212, 4.7% of children have praised or replied to messages in critics' articles, and 18.1% have criticized or scolded others anonymously on the Internet. In addition, 12% of children are victims of cyber bullying, and 12% of them have suicidal thoughts.

To put an end to cyber bullying, prevention is far more effective than containment! The Children's Welfare Alliance said that it is the key to prevent cyber bullying and teach children about cyber security. It is suggested that parents often discuss cyber security with their children, do not share personal privacy information easily, supervise their children's surfing the Internet, and most importantly, know the websites and contents that children like to visit online, so that when problems occur (such as being intimidated and leaving home), they can have a trace.
