Lysander pupils take on the cyber bullies

CYBER bullying was the focus of police talks at Lysander Community High School, Padgate, when pupils had a lesson in internet safety as part of anti-bullying week.

PC Jeff Mather, Cheshire Police's school liaison officer, visited the school on Thursday to highlight the dangers of the internet and help pupils cope with and understand harrassment online.

"MSN and Facebook have a large part to play in young people's lives and that's the medium that is used for bullying other students," said PC Mather.

"No longer does bullying end at the school gates, it continues after school with nasty text messages, e-mails, messages on Facebook. It's now a 24/7 problem."

This week visited a number of schools across Warrington to give talks on cyber bullying.
