Pull. The. Plug.

Very simple to do. If social media has consumed your every thought and deed to the point you go and off yourself, then just don’t go there.

Read the article. She changed her cell phone number, but the perpetrator was able to learn the new one.

The harassment was text messages from a "burn phone". And, they created dating profiles for her, advertising "sex for free".

The perpetrator is likely someone known to her and her family, as they suspect.

“Pull. The. Plug.”

Xactly. When the internet was first invented, my kid was targeted. It’s all about the pecking order, going after whoever is perceived as weak. He could have simply joined the bullies to target other kids, then he would have been on the “cool” side.
Neither option is acceptable in my family. I just shut it down.
When one of the bullies started harassing him at school, I told him, deal with it, but you get one chance. Make it stick.
So when the bully called him a little chicken sh!t, my son cold cocked him. Kapow, on the ground. Got a 3 day suspension, but boy was I proud.
He had no problems after that.
