Thanks, BugsyMalone, Rose3 and KathyM - with the Formspring I even annonymously asked the girl - "why do you keep this account if 9 out 10 comments are verbally abusive? She said 'that's what Formspring is". I'm thinking about speaking to the school principal and see if she'll talk to the grade 7/8 classes and warn them about this particular site. I know they've taught internet safety in the schools but it doesn't seem to work.
