Sameer Hinduja, PhD, professor of criminology and criminal justice at Florida Atlantic University and co-director of the Cyberbullying Research Center, said in a news release that kids are more at risk for cyberbullying during the Covid-19 crisis.

According to an article by www.healio.com, Hinduja went on to explain:

"This makes sense, of course, because there was now an almost limitless number of potential targets and aggressors,” he continued. “During this unprecedented time when [children] are all stuck at home, those same students will be using apps even more than they already do with them being forced to use online platforms for learning, regardless of their level of comfort or proficiency.”
