We've all heard stories in the US about internet bullies but no formal laws have been passed to address it. The UK is doing something about it -- they have jailed 18 year old Keeley Houghton
for internet bullying . She spent 6 weeks in Eastwood Park prison in Gloucestershire, because she posted a threatening message about another girl on her own Facebook profile. "Part of the message read: "Keeley is going to murder the bitch," according to the Press Association."
"In a poll of 2,094 young people across England conducted by the charity, 30 percent of 11 to 16-year-olds who had been "cyberbullied" had been targeted on Bebo.
"In response to this Bebo has posted a panic button on their site which allows children who are fearful to report abuse.
Facebook on the other hand which has over 300M users worldwide said they dont think a button will help, and that they have other measures in place. I have a facebook account and the only option I see is "Remove from friends". Shouldn't a measure be put in place that is also easy to find?
