Description

On the 24th of February, Mrs. Iliada Spyrou (PCCPWC) participated in an online Helpline meeting. The focus of this meeting was fake profiles and identity theft on Facebook. Fake profiles are an issue across the network, particularly on Facebook. Moreover, children and young people need to be encouraged to contact the helpline faster regarding this type of problem. Finally the reporting mechanisms on Facebook often leave callers feeling confused and vulnerable.
