Thankfully it seems like this is starting to move away again from "open" social media (like Facebook) to things like WhatsApp groups, Snapchat, "group based" social media. Which can be just as toxic of course - many examples of it being even worse - but it does mean that if someone moves out of an area and away from a social circle, it's easier to totally leave that behind (change number, make new accounts) and not still be targetted by the same individuals.
Of course it's not the full answer... the boys who did this would almost certainly simply have targetted someone else.
