How to Deal with Cyber Bullying

Recently these peoples son was involved in being cyber bullied. He had a problem with these two kids from school. They were not former friends and didn’t even really know each other until the second grade. One of the boys lived in his neighborhood and on one of their days off he found him on face book and started threatening him that when school starts he was going to get the Mexican mafia on him.
I think the parents did a good job turning it into the police immediately. The police did a great job of protecting this kid and keeping him safe from this kid at school. I don’t think he will be cyber bullying anybody for awhile.
The bully had the police on his butt not long after the incident happened. The parents printed the messages and got them on paper for the police. The police took care of it and put it all on the bullies files and records. The kid that was getting bullied went on with his life like nothing ever happened.
I don’t think anything could have been done to stop this kid from threatening another student. The only thing I can think of is if the person getting bullied wouldn’t
Have added that kid as a friend if they weren’t really friends. Other then that I don’t see what else could have been done.
I have had people on myspace and stuff threatening me. I come to find out all them kids are just trying to act hard and scare you. None of them do anything to you. All it does is make you feel like a big person just because it’s over the computer. 99.9 percent of the people that have threatened me haven’t done anything to me.
