YIKES!! I've not had to deal with this!!!

I GUESS I would first print out what was said then find the parents...if it got bad - like threatening bodily harm - I would go to the police...

if it's a kid at school, I would involve the school as well.

GOOD LUCK!!

Have your children block those children. If you child and his/her friends aren't mature enough to have a FB page, then have your child take the page down for a while.

Print the pages and take them to the school principal. Most districts have a cyberbullying policy.

Block them, for starters. Teach your kid to be discriminating with who they friend and who they share their information with. If they have settings set to "friends of friends" then change that. Kids don't tend to worry about privacy settings til it's an issue.

Child should also talk to the guidance office at school if the bullies are students of the school.

If you google "cyberbullies" you will find a lot of info. Here is one site: http://www.cyberbullying.us/

You can block them and you can report them to FB

Make sure you print any bullying and especially threats. Take that to the school police liason and if that doesn't help, take it to your local police station.

We went through it, I feel for you and I hope things work out.

Block them and report them- save the comment threads, or messages and call your local police department. honestly if they are doing it online what are they doing in person?
