Felony Charges In A Cyber-Bullying Death (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/10/18/cyber-bully-death

Unprecedented felony charges this week against two young girls in Florida accused of harassing a 12-year-old classmate so relentlessly that she jumped to her death – suicide – from a lonely industrial tower.  The girls told Rebecca Ann Sedwick she “should go kill herself.”  Rebecca finally did.  The cyber-bullying messages went on even after her death.  No remorse.  Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County said it’s gone too far.  He’s bringing in the full weight of the law.  This is a turning point.  He’s with us.  Up next On Point:  cyber-bullying, young tormentors, and the law.
– Tom Ashbrook
