Medical professionals can play an important role in the war against cyberbullying, writes Dr. Matthew Stanbrook in an editorial in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).Canada's federal government has proposed a new law to combat cyberbullying that will prohibit the transmission of "intimate images" of a person without his or her consent and allow courts to seize devices used as tools in cyberbullying. Government legislation, combined with the efforts of parents, doctors and schools, can have impact on curbing the problem.
