Javier Urra, psychologist of the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office and first Ombudsman for Minors in Spain, assured at the University of Navarra that "the issue of complaints from parents whose children suffer cyberbullying (cyberbullying) is increasing, especially from children who feel harassed or ridiculed".

The expert affirmed that "there are no legal loopholes" regarding these offenses, but that "there is room for an important legislative development to harden the damage to privacy and honor when the criminal act is overexposed to society in general". In this sense, he commented the following: "If a person assaults another person and ridicules him, the latter feels offended and damaged in his esteem, but if this is recorded and is seen by the whole high school, the damage is greater, so the aggressor's penalization must also be greater".

Javier Urra, who participated in the XXXVIII seminar of Educational Centers of the School of Philosophy y Letras -whose topic was the new forms of communication of the 'net generation'-, bet for the training of the parents in the new technologies: "It is not necessary to be a virtuoso or to enter the intimacy of our children, but it is necessary to know them minimally to see how they handle and interpret them". He also added that "nowadays there are very simple guides to deal with this task".

On the other hand, he also commented on the importance of educating children in virtues and values: "If a child does not have a clear horizon and does not know how to respond to ethical dilemmas, any instrument will serve to commit harmful acts; even more so from the anonymity and the feeling of impunity that new technologies provide".

Setting access time and content guidelines

Another of the participants in this seminar organized by the School of Philosophy y Letras was Arturo Canalda, Ombudsman for Minors of the Community of Madrid, who also emphasized the importance of involving parents in this task "It is not a question of prohibiting its use, but of controlling access, regulating the time and contents that are seen".

Also taking part in the conference were Juan Manuel Romero, vice president of Digital Addictions; Hildegart González, General Manager of the association of advertising and Communication Companies of Navarra; and University of Navarra professors José Luis Orihuela, director of laboratory of Multimedia Communication; Charo Sádaba, director of department of business Informative; and Belén Ochoa, professor of department of Education of the academic center.
