Yes... I believe it is as simple as that.

It's different when you're a kid.. Words really do get to you.. Eventually you grow up and stop giving a flyin' **** :cool:

That's the reason why I blame the parents. She's only 13. They should've been watching her activities more and controlling what she does and doesn't do.

If you really think you can control what a 13 year old does to such an extreme extent, you're delusional.

not a 100%, but you can restrict their activities a lot.

Not really, even something as simple as blocking Facebook. They'll go on their friend's/school's/library's computer and setup another account.

obviously you can't control everything unless you're there, but atleast you have to try. Educate the child and work with them. Atleast you can restrict them at home. Talk to the school. Ask them to restrict fb on school computers. She didn't have friends so she couldn't have used their computers.

Saying they will get around and there is no point is just a cop out for lazy people. You won't know unless you try.

No, but it's a start. Also not allowing your kids to have a computer in their bedroom is also something a parent can do. And is there any real reason for a kid to have a smartphone?

I'm not in this situation so I know I can't understand it fully. But if kids feel like bullying is following them home due to social media, then parents HAVE TO try and teach their children that they don't have to plug into said social media.
 
I'm going to link this over from the other "bullying" thread as I think it's relevant and pertinent to this thread too. Amanda's mother gave an exclusive interview to the Vancouver Sun which provides much more insight to what was going on. There was a pedophile stalking her and making her life hell. There were kids at her schools who were ostracizing her for the topless photo/video and mocking her suicide attempts and baiting her to keep trying. As far as I'm concerned, this went well beyond your "run of the mill" school yard tough guy bullying. It shows the real ugly of humanity.

Looks like he's already facing charges in another incident. Kinda funny that a bunch of pimplyfaced teens that are on gov ****-list found the troll a hell of a lot faster than dozens of RCMP investigators ;)

And I hope it won't result in charges dropped because he was "convicted" before even going to court, tainted testimonies or whatnot...

Hopefully they got the right guy and address. I'm not a fan of vigilante justice, but in cases like this, I don't have a lot of hope in the "proper channels".

It's kind of ironic but these same kids are usually the ones ruining innocent people's lives to begin with by maliciously finding out private info and doing things like emailing naked pics to family, and now this one time they turned their detective skills on one of their own. Good for them but they're hardly innocent "heroes". Maybe in this particular case, yes, but usually, no. Just my 2 cents.
