The problem is that it isn't as simple as that where children and vulnerable adults are concerned.
I also believe that online bullying does need to be addressed as opposed to being ignored, if one person doesn't give these people the attention that they crave, they are very likely to move onto someone else who they percieve to be weaker than themselves due to disability, age, sex etc.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
We cannot defend everyone every minute of the day on the internet be lovely if we could but it just cannot be done and sorry Maggy is right online it is easy to remove yourself from an unpleasant situation. Where are all these resources coming from to deal with this???? cuts are being made in so many area's but we're meant to allocate resources to protecting people online. This is why the country's in a mess too much expected of too little and personal initiative and responsibility becoming alien concepts to some people.

Agree 100%.
For an increasing number of people it seems far easier for them the absolve themselves of any responsibility for the situations they place themselves in.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
Well I think it's easy to be 'tough' hiding behind a keyboard but a dose of reality isn't quite so palatable to them.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
The whole thread can be summed up as: Good intentioned law, soon to be abused by many ill informed, thin skinned looking for compensation/revenge professional victims.
Shortly found to be unmanageable due to the ever increasing numbers of people who feel butt hurt about something. Because for some reason today we've all turned into pc jellyfish.
And you know the biggest shame of all?
The biggest shame will be that the genuine people in there will be hidden amongst the ranks of bs claims.

Not a truer word spoken! The result of a nanny state.
Children at sports days are no longer allowed to lose. WTF I did many times at certain things but won, or nearly did, on others. It stood me in good stead for the REAL life ahead.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
A transgender councillor has prompted a police investigation after another member deliberately referred to her as a male:

I suppose you've already made your mind up regarding malicious act or silly mistake.
I called one of my male colleagues Sally the other day by mistake. I suppose i should expect my shoulder felt in the near future.

Already the first example of stupidity really bodes well for the future doesn't it.
