Original title: "Cyberbullismo: Che cos'è e come imparare a riconoscerlo"

Parental guidance guide published by Generazioni Connesse, part of the Italian Safer Internet Centre.

• Target audience: parents and guardians seeking to understand, identify, and address cyberbullying affecting minors.
• Core concept: explains how digital harassment differs from traditional bullying - operating 24/7, reaching vast online audiences, and allowing anonymous, intensified abuse.
• Warning signs: outlines behavioural shifts to watch for, such as sudden social withdrawal, avoidance of devices, distress over notifications, or low self-esteem.
• Preventive and educational strategies: advises open parent-child communication, setting privacy boundaries, teaching empathy/respect, and breaking the culture of silence.
• Action steps: instructs parents on preserving digital evidence, blocking abusers, filing content removal requests via Law 71/2017 with the Privacy Guarantor, and seeking support through the 24/7 Telefono Azzurro helpline (1.96.96).
