Virtual Police to Patrol Facebook

Facebook police warnings will soon be issued to cyber bullies in a crackdown on serious social network-related crimes. Officers will step in and send a written online message telling the student they could be prosecuted for a public order offence if they continue to use the site to pursue victims.

The rising concern over Facebook bullying has come about following a spate of recent incidents and rising reports of Facebook 'Trolling' where bullies leave shocking comments on online memorial pages. Gloucestershire teenager Sam Leeson, 13, was driven to suicide in 2008 after being taunted by cyber-bullies.
