What your child needs the most is getting their self respect, confidence back. Parents should play an important role in doing this by supporting their kids and helping them in finding out ways to get back to their normal life.
▪Stringent cyber laws 
Some where the government should also take a step in  PREVENTING cyber bullying by making cyber laws. And should also make important step in organising surveys and seminars in schools and colleges and by providing counsellors.  Laws are important to punish the bullies and also making kids understand some ethical values in regard to respecting each others lives.

EVERYONE is experiencing cyber bullying without parents knowing or their friends knowing but the best way to help your self or your friend or your child is to talk about it with someone more experienced to you.
