Q: My daughter was recorded on an app and posted she is a minor. A YouTuber posted her and was bullying her. What can I do.
Video is on TikTok Twitter YouTube and instagram
A:
I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is being bullied online. Here are some steps that you can take to address the situation:
Report the video: Contact the platforms where the video was posted (TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram) and report the video as inappropriate content. Make sure to provide as much detail as possible, including the URL of the video and any relevant information about the bullying.
Contact the YouTuber: If you are able to identify the person who posted the video, you can try contacting them directly and asking them to take the video down. Be polite but firm in your request and explain the impact that their actions are having on your daughter.
Contact the police: If the bullying includes threats of violence or other criminal behavior, contact your local police department to report the incident. They can investigate the matter and take appropriate action.
Seek support: Bullying can be a traumatic experience for both the victim and their family. Make sure to seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional. There are also organizations and hotlines that provide support and resources for victims of bullying.
Remember, it's important to take action to address the bullying, but also to take steps to prevent it from happening in the future. Talk to your daughter about safe online behavior and consider monitoring her online activity to help keep her safe.
