Private Investigator for Cases of Bullying and Cyberbullying

The intervention of an experienced private investigator allows you to obtain irrefutable video and documentary evidence, which is often not obtainable on your own, and is fundamental for proceeding with a legal protection effective. We gather valid evidence in court to prove the parental civil liability of bullies (fault in education) and support every action aimed at stopping the abuses.

Bullying is not 'a phase of growth' nor a simple argument between teenagers. It is a repeated form of psychological and physical violence, characterised by the intention to cause harm and a significant power imbalance between the perpetrator and the victim. In the worst cases, it takes the form of group violence, where the group acts as a shield to amplify the aggression and further isolate the victim

Today the threat has evolved: harassment does not end with the school bell but continues online (Cyberbullying), invading domestic privacy 24/7. Often the victim, out of shame or fear of reprisals, remains silent. Arcadia Company helps you break down this barrier by documenting the facts to enable you to intervene legally.

The warning signs: when to contact a private investigator?

Sadly, parents are often the last to find out what is happening. Not out of disinterest, but because children tend to hide what causes them pain, out of shame, fear of not being believed, or concern that the situation could worsen.
However, there are signs that should never be overlooked. A sudden drop in academic performance, difficulty concentrating or refusing to go to school can be important warning signs. Sleep disturbances, recurring nightmares or a drastic change in daily habits also warrant attention.
On a physical level, unexplained bruises, damaged personal items, torn clothes, or frequent requests for money may indicate instances of abuse or even extortion.

If the school downplays the incident or your child denies it out of fear, the intervention of an external professional is the only way to understand what is really happening outside the home.

Is Bullying a Crime? What Does the Law Say

Although the criminal code does not yet include a specific offence of 'bullying', the actions carried out by bullies constitute very serious crimes that are punishable by law, such as:

• Threats and Assault (articles 612 and 581 of the Criminal Code)
• Aggravated Defamation (including via social media, Art. 595 of the Penal Code)
• Damage to personal property (Article 635 of the Criminal Code)
• Cyberstalking and harassmentthe use of electronic means to harass the minor.
• Harassment (Stalking): The Court of Cassation (judgment no. 28623/2017) has confirmed that repeated bullying falls under the crime of stalkingespecially when it generates a severe state of anxiety or forces the victim to change their daily habits.
