Charlottetown police are stepping up education about cyber bullying after what they say appears to be an increase in the number of inappropriate social media posts at the junior high school level. "It is very much a growing concern and we're not seeing it as much at the senior high level because I guess we're tending to make better, a little bit better choices in that regard at the senior high level. But definitely at the junior high level it's definitely an issue and it's an issue at the elementary school level," Keizer said. They're exposed to things that we were never exposed to at an extremely young age and they're becoming very desensitized to the things that we might find appalling. While police are making an effort to focus on issues of cyber bullying, Keizer says parents should be involved in the conversation as well.
