Media Awards 2013
Rosalind Prober Award for Advocacy Recipients
Carol Todd, Glen Canning & Leah Parsons
The tragic deaths by suicide of Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons woke the nation to the devastating consequences of online exploitation and cyber-bullying. Amanda’s mother (Carol) and Rehtaeh’s parents (Glen and Leah) did everything they could to protect their daughters, but in the end it wasn’t enough. Now vocal child advocates, Carol, Glen and Leah’s dedication to raising awareness has motivated stakeholders to urgently address the harm online bullying and exploitation does to children.
