[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should not be involved at all.  They should go to the school.  Unfortunately, schools have experience with this sort of thing.[/quote]

What?  [b]The school has nothing to do with what is said in a chat room and that is just what the school official is going to tell her. [/b]  Amanda should stay out of the chat room and then she won't get bullied.  I bet that she keeps going back because she likes the drama.[/quote]

Actually that is wrong! If both kids attend the same school, the school will certainly get involved. Because, as PP said, it is an issue that cannot be separated and clearly will impact the students in some way.  In fact, most school districts have a cyber-bullying protocol. OP, you should tell your friend to handle it through the school.

It is hard to tell from OP's post what exactly the cyber-bullying entails, but Amanda's DD does not have to be present for it to be cyber-bullying.  It appears from the OP's post that the boy is saying stuff about Amanda to other students in the chat room - it is unclear whether Amanda has actually been present.  In turn, this is creating an hostile environment for the girl at school.  Get the school involved.  [/quote]
