When Should You Involve Your Local Police Department?
When cyberbullying is repeated and takes on excessive harassment via email, text messages, forums or chat rooms are all forms of harassment and should involve your local police department. Threats of violence should also be reported to the police. Very important, please save all messages as evidence of record. The police will know what to do from there.
You do not need or deserve to put up with cyberbullying. Help is out there and your self-esteem and life are far too valuable to be placed in harms way by a coward using technology in a bad way. Cyberbullying leaves a clear trail of evidence and this can work to the advantage of the victim. Cyberbullies are just bullies with a new weapon in their arsenal of bad behavior; treat them like you would any bully and they will not only lose their power, but also face criminal charges depending on the form the cyberbullying was rendered to the victim.
