Should Parents Be Criminally Liable For Kids' Cyberbullying?
Two girls in Florida, 14 and 12, have been arrested and charged with aggravated stalking -- cyberbullying.
They
allegedly tormented a 12-year-old girl named Rebecca so relentlessly that last
month, Rebecca leapt to her death from a tower in an abandoned concrete plant.
The arrest
came after the following post was made on the 14-year-old's Facebook account:
"Yes IK I bullied REBECCA nd she killed herself but IDGAF." Polk
County Sheriff Grady Judd said he would charge the parents if he could, but there were no
"obvious charges" against them.
