Cyberbullying

One high school student in Louisiana is learning the hard way that local law enforcement does not take threats of violence lightly. Now more than ever, gun violence in schools is a significant concern for parents, students, and law enforcement. Even empty threats insinuating potential violence is not being tolerated.

Detectives with the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office have arrested a Byrd High School student for cyberbullying.

Children may not feel comfortable going to their parents with a cyberbullying situation out of fear that the parent may take the technology away.

More young people are reaching out to their families after being harassed or taunted online, and it's helping. At least a little.

Bossier Sheriff Larry Deen says a Bossier City teenager was arrested Thursday for cyberbullying.  17-year-old Jason Patrick Thomas, of the 1600 block of Quin Street, was taken into custody after he admitted to a Bossier Sheriff’s detective that he sent over 50 test messages to a 15 year old female juvenile, encouraging her to commit suicide.
