English International School Information, 14th May 2026

Dear Parents,

The success of your children depends on a serene environment. Today, this environment is threatened by digital misconduct within forums and social media platforms.

The Pedagogical Aspect and Protecting Our Children:

Cyberbullying does not only destroy the victim; it also harms the aggressor by desensitizing them to the suffering of others. As educators, we must teach our children that freedom of expression ends where the respect for private life begins.

Parental Responsibility and the Law:

The Digital Code strictly regulates the spread of false information and defamation. We wish to remind you of the following:

• Civil Liability: You are legally responsible for the harm caused by your minor children. Damages and interest awarded in harassment cases can be substantial.
• Criminal Prosecution: The Code provides for imprisonment and heavy fines. Please be aware that under the law, minors as young as 13 years old can be held accountable for their actions before a court of law.
• Usage of Forums: Parental discussion groups must not become breeding grounds for rumours. Article 550 penalizes anyone who disseminates information that harms the honour of another, whether they are the original author or simply the one sharing it.

Our Expectations: We ask you to monitor your children's digital access and remind them of the risks: loss of reputation, a tarnished school record, and criminal sanctions.

EIS will not compromise on the psychological safety of its students. We count on your collaboration to ensure that social media remains a space for connection, not conflict.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
