Hi again HalfSwede, and everyone -- I read through this thread a bit too quickly before. I wanted to emphasize that Numpty is totally correct that, in regard to your nephew and cyberbullying, it is truly crucial that he not delete anything. Also, like Numpty said, cyberbullying is actually pretty stupid, because it does indeed leave a trail. That's how my husband and I were able to track down exactly who pulled the stupid Facebook prank on my older daughter a few months ago. The girls who were guilty flat-out lied, but we had the hard proof with printouts, time stamps, etc., which we showed the principal.
(Ironically, these girls attend a very small Catholic school that we suddenly had to pull my daughters out of last August. I was devastated that they'd be leaving what I thought was a safe, happy environment. Ha.)
It's been interesting to read different forum members' accounts of bullying. I've always thought girls can be particularly vicious.
