For any questions about cyberbullying, we suggest you refer to your local laws. AsktheJudge.info is an educational site for and about teens and the law. We are based in the U.S. and discuss federal and state laws throughout the U.S. There may be criminal consequences and civil consequences for cyberbullying. If the police and prosecutors are refusing to take action, you could always look into filing a civil complaint. If this option is of any interest to you, we suggest meeting with a local attorney who handles civil actions. Good luck. (Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area. This is information only – not legal advice.)
