The Laws

There are many types of cyber bullies but when a cyber bully starts to threaten another person, that is when the law gets involved.


The law:
It is a felony to threaten others in anyway. It is harassment and it is a serious matter. All forms of threats are accounted for such as, by letter, over the phone, over the internet, or in person.

The FCC, local police, and FBI all take this very seriously and will investigate and prosecute, according to "law.com".

How can you tell if you are being threatened?

Kinds of threats:

+ Vulgar Language: "You look like S**T!"

+ Direct insults: "You're so ugly that you are… are… are stupid!"

+ Verbal terrorization: "You better watch your back because something might happen to you. Grrrrr!"

+ Threats to cause harm: "At exactly 2:05pm monday, I'm gonna surprise attack you!" or "I'm gonna kill you until you die from it!"
