A NEW group called Action Against Cyber Bullying has been initiated by a concerned parent.
Former counsellor Gilbert Goh, 47, has launched a new website - www.dontcyberbully.com - that will offer free counselling, advice and tips on how victims can resolve the problems of cyber-bullying.
Mr Goh said the idea for the new site came after The Straits Times published a story last month on the increasingly vicious methods being used by cyber bullies to harass their victims.
Among the new methods are the use of social networks, YouTube videos and multimedia messaging to spread hate messages or rumours about individuals. In some cases, fake, unflattering social network profiles are created by bullies wanting to ruin reputations of their targets.
