Social Media
Staff at a Brockville High School contacted Brockville Police yesterday morning to assist with a dispute between a 16 year old male and a 16 year old female student. On arrival at the school it was learned the students had been dating and recently split up. As a result of the break-up school officials were alerted to several inappropriate social media posts which were circulating and brought to the attention of school officials.
Brockville Police and staff contacted the parents of the students regarding the incident and all persons agreed to a diversionary educational program to deal with the incident.
Police would like to remind students and parents of safe internet practices and encourage the public to visit The Canadian Centre for Child Protection website at www.cybertip.ca for more information on safe internet practices for teens.
