I honestly don't understand cyber-bullying. You can block people on Facebook.

Some folks are just too fragile for this world I guess. Was this girl bi-polar?

She was raped. I don't know if she was bipolar- but why should it matter? You can't expect a rational human response from an irrational, inhuman situation. From my perspective, its the monsters who did this that are too evil for this world. How fragile someone is really doesn't enter the equation.

[Antonio the Sixth]

This is horrible, and I wish the victims best. Honestly, events like this make me wonder if humanity is rotten at its core.

Sorry, I missed the rape bit. Assume my comments applied to a situation where rape did not occur. Thanks!

She was gang-raped. By her friends. Who distributed evidence of their crime online. And her school knew about it, but did nothing.

This girl was only raped by someone she knew- the two suicide victims were gang-raped though.

Yes, I was referring to one of the suicide victims (Audrey Pott). Not sure who Torie was referring to.

It's not just that- in this case the police did absolutely nothing to resolve the case. Anonymous was able to find the rapists in like two hours. It's worth reading, but it's not feel-good news.

I had already made that assumption.

Well, it's RCMP. Sure they won't do anything for rape victims, the police force is sued currently by 300 former female agents because they were raped and/or sexually harassed by male agents and the leadership was aware and did nothing.

Yes, its surprising that Canada has so many of these cases. Native women, female police officers, homeless women, prostitutes, female hockey fans and young players being abused. The list goes on and on.

It seems worse than, say, Australia, that has more of a "macho country"-image.
Whats the background?

Inpunity. I personally gave up on reforming RCMP and think than it should replaced by another police force or be left to provinces.
As far as I know, there is no studies on why RCMP has so much of issues with women. NDP passed a resolution asking a study on that, too, I think, this weekend, but, as usual, the government will refuse, as it an attack on the order of society or some **** like that.

I don't know the details, but basically the RCMP has some major culture issues.

[Mr. Morden]

Of course, rape has sadly existed for all of human history.  But the new "innovation" here seems to be the perpetrators taking pictures with their cell phones of the girls who they're sexually violating, and then posting them on social media sites where the pictures are seen by all the victim's classmates.  The pictures are then out there forever, since there's no real way to scrub something from the internet.

I'm with Emily Bazelon on this, that the law really needs to catch up to technology on this front....as apparently there are currently many jurisdictions that make no legal distinction between a kid consensually sending another kid a sexual picture of themselves and a kid sending out a picture with no consent from the pictured kid at all.  The latter needs to be counted as a separate crime, above and beyond the sexual assault crime that occurred as well:
