Rejected petition Cyber Bullying Is A Criminal Offence

More details

This weekend I have suffered greatly from cyber bullying and online stalking yet despite the Protection From Harassment Act and Malicious Communications Act the police in my area have said that they will not intervene unless the person doing the cyber stalking starts affecting me personally. They already have by cyber stalking.

There should be more police protection on cyber stalking and more laws to prevent this from happening whether you are young or an adult person. To say to someone just report the person on Media sites and block them is simply not good enough.

I have been harassed early hours of the morning and not slept hundred per cent so of course it is affecting me. Why will the police not do anything?

There should be more laws.
