From educational and recreational use to illegal misuse:

As a privileged partner of the Ministry of Education, e-Enfance wishes to warn the public about practices that could harm the integrity of individuals in the educational community, particularly pupils and teachers. This may also include cyberbullying of the pupils concerned.

The educational community is strongly encouraged to remain vigilant and to take preventive measures on this issue within schools. e-Enfance also invites you to take this information into consideration in order to remain alert with regard to your secondary school pupils.
