Let's not pretend like these are isolated incidents. [User X] doesn't harass [User Z] over a day's time, and that night [User Z] kills themselves. I'd wager that the victims do as much as they can to distance themselves from the bullies, including but not limited to blocking communication.I guess what I don't get is how the existing legal framework isn't sufficient to stop this kind of -blam!-. I mean, the way this is described, it's basically stalking and harassment. There are laws against that. Why aren't these people in jail and their victims still alive? Because I don't know any state that would lock up a 12 year-old.I'm from Texas and what were you saying? :-P
But seriously, you don't have to put them in jail, but there are options. Special schools, juvenile detention, cut off their internet access (this happens to adults, don't see why not kids).
In Ontario we have the CFSA, which in this case those who were harassing her could have been prosecuted/the situation solved by legal means. Age 12-18.
