New research done by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the CSIR, has revealed that one in three parents globally, has reported that their child was bullied online.

The CSIR announced the results of an investigation into cyberbullying to the media yesterday.

It comes on the same day that a Limpopo court granted a teenager R1500 bail following her arrest over two weeks ago for the brutal public assault on the late Lufuno Mavhungu.

She committed suicide after a video of the incident went viral.

Radio Islam discussed the results of the research with CSIR researcher Rofhiwa Netshiya.
