Shocking: Victims of Online Harassment 'Getting Younger', Says Anti-Bullying Campaigner Jackie Fox

Anti-bullying campaigner Jackie Fox has warned that the issue of online bullying is impacting younger teenagers, saying that both the victims of bullying and the bullies themselves are "getting younger".Ms Fox visits secondary schools across the country to tell the story of her daughter, Nicole 'Coco' Fox, who was relentlessly bullied both online and physically for a period of three years before she died by suicide in 2018.Ms Fox's subsequent campaigning prompted a landmark change to Irish law, leading to the introduction of the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act 2020.It is part of An Garda Síochána’s schools programme and the lesson provides a clear breakdown of the legislation.It criminalises the sharing of or the threatening to share intimate images without consent.Jackie joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about all of this.
