The TTPS is urging parents to monitor their children’s online activities and have open lines of communication about cyber-bullying.

It says over the weekend, several Instagram accounts posted explicit images of minors and women, along with defamatory captions.

As a result, parents are reminded to be vigilant about what their children post to social media, as seemingly innocent content can be used by cyber bullies and extortionists.

The TTPS adds cyber-bullying incidents can be reported to the Special Victims Department.

People are also being urged to report offending accounts to the respective social media company.
