This story is old but its interesting.Keeley Houghton is the first teenager which have been sent to prison as a Consequence of cyber bullying in the facebook. Emily Moore had committed suicide after receiving a threatening message from keeley on facebook. This strict punishment has been determined by judge Bruce morgan.
The interesting point in this story is that keeley explained that she did not think that her messages will cause death of her friend. According to this case and other cases consequences and results of an email , message or SMS are hard to estimate and short messages can lead to horrible results.
The question here is that do this kind of punishments , especially for teenagers , can reduce the number of cyber bullying cases?
It is commonly accepted that imprisoning teenagers has some serious side effects such as getting familiar with drugs and drug dealers. And also i think that prevention of cyber bullying need some infra structural ways instead of hard punishments. please keep leave your comments and express your different points of view in this blog......

Emily Moore did not commit suicide!! Get your facts correct! She is a successful young woman who proudly over came the torment. If you actually do your research you will also realise it was not all cyber bullying - merely one threatening comment but years of physical and mental abuse.
