The cyberbully knows no boundaries. They can reach from the classroom to the schoolyard right up to following a person back into their bedroom. Parents are very concerned for the safety of their children but when a situation is identified and brought to the attention of gardaí, the gardaí feel they do not have the powers to pursue it and that there is no specific offence. This was identified by the Oireachtas committee and recommendations were made. What actions have been taken to address the concerns of people around cyberbullying?
