Cyber-Bullying","background":null,"additional_details":"Currently there is no legislation protecting children from bullying via electrical means such as social network sites, e-mail or text messages. Cyber-bullying is so impactive because it can happen 24/7 with no respite at home like physical bullying. The Diana Award and The Childrens Research Centre at The Open University released a report in November 2011 indicating that 38% of young people experienced cyber-bullying and 78% reported that cyber-bullying is increasing with 16% feeling that it has stayed the same and only 6% recognising any form of reduction. Cyber-bullying ruins peoples lives and can make life feel unmanageable and torturous; these feelings have started to lead to suicides.\r\n\r\nThis form of bullying is one of the reasons that a young person between 10 to 19 years of age attempts suicide in England and Wales every 20 minutes.\r\n\r\nMaking Cyber-bullying a criminal offence will raise awareness of the dangers it causes and help prevent a lot of it happening.","committee_note":null,"state":"closed","signature_count":13,"created_at":"2012-04-18T15:26:09.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:07.256Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2012-04-20T09:07:57.000Z","closed_at":"2013-04-20T09:07:57.000Z","moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-04-18T15:26:09.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}},{"type":"archived-petition","id":32554,"links":{"self":"https://preview.epetitions.website/archived/petitions/32554.json"},"parliament":{"period":"2010-2015","government":"Conservative – Liberal Democrat coalition","dissolution_at":"2015-03-30T23:59:59.000+01:00","response_threshold":10000,"debate_threshold":100000},"attributes":{"action":"No National Security Defence for Secret Courts","background":null,"additional_details":"Judges not ministers should decide whether trials are held in public.
