Online spaces need guidance too. Teach kids: tone isn’t always clear, pause if something hurts, screenshot/block/tell a trusted adult, don’t engage with bait, and remember likes ≠ worth. For #autistics, this support isn’t optional—it builds confidence. #StopCyberbullying

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
