Research released by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner highlights the dangers of kids and online multiplayer games.

The research by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner shows 6 in 10 young people play multiplayer games.

Of these, approximately 17% or 200,000+ young Australians, experienced in-game bullying in a 12 month period.

How young people deal with bullying during online gaming includes:

42 % turned off the chat function
41% ignored the bullying
38% stopped playing games with the bully

It is recommended that parents turn OFF the chat function when children are play games online.

Has your child been bullied while playing an online game?
