Mom Wants Cyber Bullies Punished


6th grader, Piper Smith was targeted by her fellow girl classmates in a vicious video called "Top Six Ways to kill Piper".

Do you think that these girls should have had more strenuous consequences for their actions?

i definately think that these girls should be punished. cyber bullying has lead to suicide. thank God this case never went that far. I do think that the should be punished since they are young. the only way to learn lessons in life is to learn from the consequences

The punishment should have been much harsher..like suspension or expulsion. The video was even put online for everyone to see. Bullying is a serious problem in school and I feel sorry for Piper. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment, especially at that age.

I think the girls should at least be assigned to community service.

I think these girls should definately have some sort of consequence other than having to apologize. They should be sent to other schools and seperated from each other. Its not ok to make a video like that about an 11 year old. I think people assume its ok to make threats on the internet and that people won't take them seriously or they won't get in trouble but a threat is a threat, no matter where its posted.

ya dude, cyber bullying is just as bad as being mean to someone to their face. it has caused suicide, even. definitely not cool. i hope the girls who made the video end up in a good amount of trouble.

Ya good thing this case was caught sooner then later. i feel bad for this poor girl. i agree with vanessa..i think they should be punished some way because if they think they can get away with something as much as making a video of ways to kill someone who knows where there imaginations will take them next.

it should have been harder because they were talking about killing someone. whether it was a joke or not, that is something serious and shouldn't be taken lightly at all.

having to apologize is definitely not enough. cuber bullying is just as harmful as bullying people to their face, and why is it always girls??

wow these girls should have definately had a worse punishment! the school should have at least been suspended or expelled! because just apologizing is not going to stop them from harrassing the girl. They are just now going to think that you just have to apologize after bullying somebody when in all reality they should be punished.

Do you guys feel like the movie Mean Girls played up high school drama too much? or do you think it kind of set a tone?
