Take a glimpse of 'It's Time' and follow her story.

What would you do if your child committed suicide after years of #cyberbullying?
Jackie knocked on every door to criminalise online harassment and hold perpetrators accountable.
Overwhelming popular support led Ireland to change its legislation.
Coco's Law was born.

Since Ireland passed #CocosLaw and made #cyberbullying a crime:
๐young people feel confident and seek help
๐abusers are held accountable
@JackieFox21: I could not save my daughter. All I can do now is to fight to protect your children.
โ๏ธTime to bring Coco's law for Europe!

"A child born in Europe is more likely to die by suicide than an American child being murdered by a gun. Many of those young people like my Nicole bullied to death," says @JackieFox21.
#Cyberbullying is a lethal weapon. Let's act now and make it a crime across the EU.

โก๏ธโ#Cyberbullying is not a criminal offence. Therefore, they cannot be charged for it.โ
This is what police told @JackieFox21 when she sought justice after her daughterยดs death.
Bringing in a law making torturing someone online a criminal offence became her driving force.

"She is a true ๐ช๐บ hero.
@JackieFox21 managed to turn a tragedy into determination and her grief into action," said @RobertaMetsola after knowing her story.
She supports our call to act against #cyberbullying at EU level.

The most significant bittersweet moment of @JackieFox21ยดs life was when Cocoโs Law entered into force in Ireland, and #cyberbullying became a criminal offence.

Can the EU afford to wait to criminalise #cyberbullying?
Ask @JackieFox21 who has lost her daughter, or any parents whose children have suffered torment online ๐https://epp.group/ldft9p
We will do our utmost to make online harassment a criminal offence EU-wide.

๐คณ#CyberBullying is fueled by likes and shares. Full-on violence is currently experienced by around half of young people in the EU.
Action is needed ASAP!
๐ช๐บ Europe must address online harassment comprehensively.
We are committed ๐https://epp.group/ldft9p

โIs the EU doing enough to protect all our young people from #cyberbullying?
โAt the moment, the answer is NO.
The time to make cyberbullying a criminal offence EU-wide has come. No more lives lost!

Heartbreaking yet apt speech by @JackieFox21 at the launch of 'It's time' in the European Parliament.
The film tells how her daughter's death sparked a campaign to criminalise #cyberbullying in Ireland.
She succeeded.
Now, we want to criminalise it across the EU.

"I cannot imagine anybody in this Parliament, after listening to @JackieFox21 and so many other cases in the EU, would not be willing to follow up on our initiative to provide a safer place for children," says @jeroen_lenaers. https://t.co/sjVbzfd3U1

๐จPiecemeal sanctions are not enough to beat online bullies.
We need a pan-European response that demonstrates our strong resolve to combat #cyberbullying.
