Thread Name: BS: Amanda Todd and cyber-bullying
Subject: BS: Amanda Todd and cyber-bullying
Have you seen the Facebook memorial ? There are people on it actually still bullying her after death saying that she deserved to die. This is out of hand. The police are going after those who post now but the family have to read this stuff on her tribute page.
I've seen cyber-bullying here too with threats of going the full twelve rounds (implied violence) and relentless insults.
Hopefully we're all adults here and can tell the difference between stuff written in the heat of anger in argument but you never can tell what someone's state of mind is. So to that I say... If I've offended anyone here I'm truly sorry.
If I have in fact pissed anyone off send me a PM and allow me to give you a personal apology.

The CBC this morning likened the Internet for kids like lord of the flies in that there is virtually no adult supervision. This is why the bullies get away with their antics.
Any other opinions?
