[quote=Anonymous]If you feel that it constitutes either stalking or harassment, sure, you can consult with an attorney and then possibly go to the police depending on legal advice. In that case, I would send a letter officially notifying the school that you are pursuing legal options to address the stalking/harassment and bullying of your child that the school failed to handle. That might get some attention and get the administration working on solutions.

However, and I know this isn't going to be a popular opinion, in practice I think that in almost all circumstances I would instead advise that your child find a way to toughen up and rise above the unpleasantness. I can't know for sure how I would respond in a truly severe or frightening case but for the fairly mild online unpleasantness my oldest daughter encountered that was what I advised and it worked out alright. I think developing that sort of unflappable and unfailingly graceful attitude is likely a useful life skill for all teens and young adults but especially for young women. [/quote]
