Re:CYBER BULLYING - 2008/08/14 21:10
Unfortunately, the authorities only care in retrospect, if something concrete happens (which is kinda too late, really). They do not take bullying seriously if it is online, I actually had a case during the first EOBB site - I didn't mind the bullying, as such, but this was going to an extreme and I started to worry for my safety (as threats were made, etc). I did find out what could be done, etc, and it turned out very little, because I had no real reason to believe that this individual really knew who I was and where I lived (as they said they did in their emails). Of course, if my throat had have been slashed, I'm sure they would have done something! But because I was okay, there was the definite impression that authorities did not take cyberworld to be "real".
