Bullying in the form of verbal, physical and social harassment is an integral
problem for all societies. With the development of information and
communication technology, cyberbullying of children as a new type of
bullying increasingly attracts the attention of scholars. Bearing in mind
that cyberbullying of children is the subject of this paper, various
theoretical approaches, defining this phenomenon, are analyzed. Furthermore,
special attention is paid to existing international, European and national
legal framework in the context of cyberbullying of children. Finally,
starting from the phenomenological forms of cyberbullying of children, the
focus is on the challenges of providing victim support. In concluding
remarks, it is stated that the lack of a single understanding of
cyberbullying of children is a consequence of the absence of a comprehensive
legally binding document devoted to this problem. The main goal of the
article is to raise awareness about the need to adopt a comprehensive
legally binding document devoted to cyberbullying of children in order to
protect the rights of victims in cyberspace.
