A New application for victims of cyberharmen , which makes it possible to send a screenshot to document the facts, was launched, Tuesday, February 8th , by the Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, visiting a high school of the Hauts-de-Seine.

The app 3018, the name of which resumes the emergency aid number for cyberharms, makes it possible to discuss on a chat to report at risk situations, particularly in the school environment.

These reports will then be transmitted to social networks to suppress the contents involved or the Pharos platform, the official portal of illicit content reports on the Internet, for the most serious cases. The Ministry of Education hopes to ensure a “rapid care of the victim”.

Announced in November by Emmanuel Macron, this app was “made in six weeks”, it is “simple” and “corresponds to the objectives,” said Stéphane Richard, the Orange CEO, who developed it in Link to the E-Childhood Association.

6 to 10% of the students would suffer from harassment

“The question of harassment is to face, we want it to be reported, that there is no silence around that, you have to talk about it, that it ceases,” said M . Blanquer in front of pupils from PRONAY professional high school, in Asnières-sur-Seine, in the presence of Brigitte Macron and Adrien Tag, Children’s Secretary of State.

In total, 6 to 10% of the students would suffer a form of harassment during their schooling and a quarter of the college students would be confronted with cyberharmen, according to a report of the Senate published in September. More than half of the attackers do not respond to the consequences of their actions, according to the e-child figures included in this report. A quarter is sanctioned, including 4% by the school.

Harassment can have dramatic consequences, as reminded by the end of October Dinah Suicide, a 14-year-old high school student in Mulhouse (Haut-Rhin). According to his parents, the teenager was the victim of a harassment operated by young girls rubbed with college and to whom she had entrusted her homosexuality.
