1 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: Online bullying might be one of the most challenging and 2 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: difficult realities that so many parents are dealing with on 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: an all too regular basis. Research certainly indicates that Australia 4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 1: is one of the world leaders in this area, and 5 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: not in the way that you want to find us leading. 6 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: Only children in the United States report being bullied more 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: online than Australian children.

You 13 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: can catch up on nine now, Kylie. Perhaps the most 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: difficult conversation of all the conversation about cyber bullying. 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: We're in the middle of a challenge about online bullying 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: to see how our children respond when confronted with a 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: bullying scenario. 18 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 3: If I felt like yesterday's conversation left me a little 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 3: bit harrowed, today I'm feeling actually really raw. 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 4: This has actually been really confronting to me and it 21 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 4: actually breaks my heart that there is just so much 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 4: pain out there, and that our kids, in an effort 23 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 4: to understand their world, are inflicting that pain, that internal 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: pain they're feeling on others in just really just devastating 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 4: ways and the impact that it has on everybody. 26 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: So we're going to share some of what happened in 27 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: these challenges that we did with the families on printal 28 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: guidance in just a moment before we do that, just 29 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: a reminder of how extraordinarily pervasive and how breathtakingly dangerous 30 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: cyber bullying can be for our children. This is an 31 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: area that is I was going to say complex. I 32 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: think complex is really the issue. There's something about the 33 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: anonymity of the screen, the ability to hide behind a 34 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: fake name in a fake environment, that seems to bring out, 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: at least for some, the very worst in human nature. 36 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: So let's have a conversation Kylie about what happened in 37 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: In fact, rather than you and I talking about it, 38 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: let's just go straight to some audio which will explain 39 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: how this challenge works and will also share some of 40 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: those confronting audio clips of what these kids were saying 41 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: in this game. 42 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,559 Speaker 2: We've created a private gaming room with four child actors 43 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 2: playing the role of the other game. It's the child 44 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: actors are following a script. It is based on actual 45 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: reported online bullying incidences. Your child will be playing under 46 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: the name Pineapple when they're confronted with the bullying, I 47 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: know what to do, Rothie Rose gets thirty minutes to 48 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: play an online game with new paid exciting, very exciting. 49 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: In this challenge, there are four child actors. Three are 50 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: playing the bullies. Hi Basic Taco is the victim, and 51 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: Rose has joined the game as Pineapple. They can all 52 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: chat to each other in a private game setting. 53 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: Hey, Pineapple, I like the house. 54 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: You suck at this game, Basic Targo. 55 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 5: I'm just learning the drink dish washing liquid and dye Taco. 56 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 6: Jesus, it's my children knows that a game is different 57 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 6: from the real world In real life, people don't say 58 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 6: that to you in a school setting. It's happened right 59 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 6: in front of my eyes. 60 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 7: I felt like he looked rattled. I think I felt 61 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 7: like he looked like especially the go and die comment. 62 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 7: I felt like after that he was. 63 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 6: Like shook, yeah, but he didn't want to share that 64 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 6: as well. 65 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: We didn't know all the yeah. 66 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 7: I feel like he was like, what is going on? 67 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: Yeh, it's a. 68 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 3: Different world for him, But I think he was he 69 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: was striking to figure out how to use the computer, 70 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: which was a learning code for us. I didn't realize 71 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 3: he didn't know how to type something and. 72 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 6: Then push it into like basics. 73 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 3: So so many thoughts going through my mind right now. 74 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: I think about Amy and Mark's son, the active parents, 75 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 3: and his absolute inability to navigate that space. And while 76 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: there is definitely some challenges in a high tech world 77 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: that we live in that he doesn't have the capacity 78 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: to navigate a keyboard or a laptop, I just was 79 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: so grateful that he had no idea what was going on, and. 80 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: He's got plenty of time to learn. It's not like 81 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: he needs to know now. 82 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: That's right. But then you've got the other extreme with 83 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: Tammy and Mark's son Eddie, who he saw it was 84 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 3: going on and he knew that he did not want 85 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 3: to be a part of it, but his response was 86 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: to eliminate the other team players, wiped them out, Like 87 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 3: how does that work? And then the conversation that was 88 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: had by Sean and Ilvie. We haven't actually been introduced 89 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: to them yet. But they're the authoritative parents in the room. 90 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: And Sean actually acknowledged that, you know, it's really easy 91 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 3: for kids to have these kinds of conversations when they're 92 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: hiding behind a screen and for all intents purposes, not 93 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: a real name. But his comment that people don't talk 94 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 3: like that when they're in your face actually hit me 95 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: really hard, because we have one of our children who 96 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: is literally dealing with this on a regular basis. Not 97 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: that those words are being said to her specifically, but 98 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: that's the kind of language that one of her friends 99 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 3: uses on a daily basis in just about any situation. 100 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: And yeah, Amanda and Hassan pointed out, this stuff is 101 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: being said in real life. I mean not in all circles, 102 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: but certainly there's a lot of kids who they say 103 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: some really brutal things to one. 104 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: Another and have no concept. 105 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 8: I don't know. 106 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if they have no concept at all. 107 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: I think that's hard for us to judge. But let 108 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: me respond to a couple of things that you've said. 109 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: First off, in terms of not having any tech savvy 110 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: when you're young, it may be to your disadvantage in 111 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: certain areas of life as you get older, but I 112 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: think it's unlikely. Pretty much, once you get to high school, 113 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: you're going to be on a computer. Know what's fascinating 114 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: the Silicon Valley tech gurus. They send their kids to 115 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: schools where there are wooden toys and no screens. I 116 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: think they're going to be okay, right like our kids, 117 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: if they have lower levels of screen time, will be fine. 118 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: And I like that Mark and Amy's family is where 119 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: they are. As for the killing, I'm in two minds, right. 120 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: So here's Eddie, Mark and Tammy the upfront parents son, 121 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't like what you're doing, and 122 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: he just goes and removes them from the game. And 123 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: I like that, Like, this is not real life. These 124 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: are complete strangers. They're not following any kinds of rules 125 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: of civility. They're being really toxic. And in that context, 126 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't really have a problem with him shutting them down. 127 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: He wanted them to be quiet in nice ways. They 128 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: weren't quite in nice ways. They're gone in real life. 129 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that he's going to do anything terribly drastic, 130 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: but he's going to be able to confront people in 131 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: a different way and get a different result. I just 132 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 1: I don't think that it's a problem in the online world, 133 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: and I like the way that they dealt with it 134 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: since there was no there was no sense that the 135 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: bullies were going to back down. As for what kids 136 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: say in real life, I mean, we've just got to 137 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: raise our kids to be sensitive and considerate and think 138 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: about what they're saying. Overall, though, this is a fascinating challenge, 139 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: fascinating challenge and the impacts are significant. You know what 140 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: stood out to me was the incredible conversation we've got 141 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: to have with the Safety Commissioner Julian man Grant going 142 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: to replace some of that right after the break, plus 143 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: talk about what you can do to keep your kids 144 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: safe from online bullies. We had a guest on this 145 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: week's episode, one of the leading experts in the field 146 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: of everything online. 147 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: To help us navigate this tough conversation. We have gone 148 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: all the way to the ultimate Australian authority, Julie in 149 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: Mangrant is Australia's e Safety Commissioner. Julie is joining us 150 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: now in the parent Lounge. How bad can cyber bullying get? 151 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 5: Unfortunately, one in five Australian children will experience cyber bullying. 152 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 5: Girls tend to be bullied more than boys. There's an 153 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 5: acronym called kys go kill yourself. We've been seeing that 154 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 5: be used a lot. It's almost always pure to peer, 155 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 5: so it's tied to conflict that's happening within the school gets. 156 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 5: So when schools or principles say not our problem, even 157 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 5: if it's not happening during school hours, it's often within 158 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 5: the school community. 159 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: What comparents do if they know or feel their child 160 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: as being cyber bullied? Where can they go? 161 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 5: You come to ear safety report a cyber bullying if 162 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 5: it's threatening, intimidating, harassing, or humiliating. We have a ninety 163 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 5: percent success rate in terms of getting that homeful content down. 164 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 7: We're all very shocked and it's actually discussing that teenagers 165 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 7: are using that kind of words onlines actually unbelievable. 166 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 5: I don't want the. 167 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 3: Kids to do on too much online where they can get. 168 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 8: Bullied, but it was interesting also to hear that a 169 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 8: lot of the time it's within the own community or 170 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 8: within the school grounds, it's actually the friend groups that 171 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 8: are doing the bullying. 172 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: We need to give some sort of technology to our 173 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: kids to let them learn around computers, and stuff like that. 174 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: Because we are changing world. 175 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,479 Speaker 5: I don't think we can underestimate the kind of impact 176 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 5: bullying can have on a child's identity, their personal development, 177 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 5: their psychology. Of course, the worst case scenarios we've seen 178 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 5: younger and younger, often young girls take their lives. 179 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 7: You can see from the challenges that the boys are 180 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 7: definitely confident in that. 181 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 6: World, very skillful management of online bullying, which shows to 182 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 6: me that's just very lot of experience dealing with that situation. 183 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 8: They're spending way too much time on screen. 184 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 3: But how we are on it for sixteen hours. 185 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 8: When they get older, what else can they do that 186 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 8: top of world is very limited? 187 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 5: I would disagree with you. 188 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 7: I think that technology opens up a lot of opportunities. 189 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 7: We need to be more open minded to things, because 190 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 7: otherwise you could then limit yourself and your children. 191 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 3: This is such a huge topic. It would be great 192 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: if we could talk about some helps for parents to 193 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 3: navigate this space. 194 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: So pretty generic response from me, because the simple answers 195 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: and solutions are usually the best. First up, you've got 196 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: a monitor in supervised know what your kids are doing, 197 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: just know what games they're playing, Know what the parental 198 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: controls are that have been set up and be across 199 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: what's happening in their online worlds. As they get older 200 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: that becomes more difficult, but certainly while they're younger this 201 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: is not hard at all. I'd say from the age 202 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: of fifteen to sixteen it gets tricky, but prior to that, 203 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: no worries usually in most homes. My second really strong 204 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: advice is keep screens in living areas, no screens in bathrooms, 205 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: no screens in bedrooms. Why when you talk to people 206 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: from the Australian Senate account of Child Exploitation, the Australian 207 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: Federal Police, Julian mcgrant, the Safety Commissioner, they all say 208 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: the same thing, and that is that when children are 209 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: being exploited, it doesn't happen in the living area. It 210 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: happens in the bedroom, in the bathroom. That's where all 211 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: the photos, that's wherell the video is, that's where all 212 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: child exploitation material comes from. This this is such an 213 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: easy one. It's such an easy one. Just keep them 214 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: out of bedrooms and bathrooms. Third one, in her own words, 215 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: Julian mc grant talk early and talk often. Got to 216 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: have these conversations. That's why we're doing this on the 217 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: TV show. Use the block and report button as much 218 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: as you need to use it. Freely teach the children 219 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: how to block and report. Last two ideas escalate things 220 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: if necessary. You can go to the well. I was 221 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: going to say, you can go to the platform, but 222 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: usually they're not helpful. But you can go to schools, 223 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: school boards, You can go to the police. You can 224 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: certainly go to the e Safety Commissioner e safety dot 225 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: gov dot au. There are so many different places that 226 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: you can escalate and it's important to do that. Why 227 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: let me share a story that my mum shared with 228 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: me from when she was a kid, and it's always 229 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: stuck with me. Her dad had a friend over. The 230 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: friend did and said a couple of things that were 231 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: completely inappropriate, nonconsensual, and made my mum feel extremely uncomfortab. 232 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: They were things of an inappropriate nature. When that man 233 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: left my mum and well my grandparents' house, my mom 234 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: commented to her dad, my grandpa, what had happened. And 235 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: my grandfather said, he'll never come to our home again. 236 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you told me, and he kept his word. 237 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: That person was never invited into their home again. He 238 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: made the call I'll protect my child. 239 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 2: Now. 240 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: I know that many parents will try and sometimes it 241 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: feels like everything is stacked against you when you're trying 242 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: to protect your child. But these are the steps that 243 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: we take to protect our children from online bullies and 244 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: from bad actors online.
