They mentioned things like finding out about where she lives and killing her/her family, mentioning and making fun of our dead cat (like another member on here did to me...) and so much worse. We are all exhausted. It's been so tough seeing someone so distressed.
Now I read an article like this and honestly? You shouldn't get arrested for saying what you 'think'
These people do it to cause a big fuss. They absolutely love the attention of upsetting/pissing people off. We have a few of them here on tibb. My ignore list has never been so full...
Do I think there is a difference between cyberbulling and trolling on twitter?
Yes, a massive one. We are getting the police involved with our issue because threats are being made. Just like if they were in real life.
If this twitter was making death threats or something similar, then I could totally understand the arrest. He's just a loser with no life trying to stir up trouble.
I do think there should be more regulation and there should be classes given to all schools/colleges/youth clubs whatever and kids need to be told about what these people are really trying to do (cause a reaction).
Ignoring is the way forward.
So many people don't realise until they actually grow up that if someone is constantly harassing you, you just need to totally ignore it. Especially on the internet where it's even more possible to block someone from contacting you.
I can totally understand if James' mum was upset by the twitter account. But I'm sure she's learnt by now to ignore it. Whatever this total **** may be, he shouldn't get arrested for being a dick.

I hope she can move on from this, and I hope the cyberbully is exposed and convicted in your case and in the case in the OP too.
