Punishment for cyber bully's!

Hey this is Leep8033 and within this post i want to address the punishments of cyber bullying, so those of you who are secretly cyber bully's, this is aimed at you!

As we all know, cyber bullying is a product of the new technology that has come, and it is not always a good thing that it brings. Bullying from the playground has taken another level to the online world being much more severe and consequential. Just like how bullying is inappropriate on the playground and just like how there are punishment for bully's, there are punishments for cyber bully's and protection for the victims as well.
Because cyber bullying can cause much more harm on online rather than physically, action has to be taken against the people who cyber bully. Now there are no actual laws that states anything against cyber bully's but because some cases become very severe, lawsuits and prosecutors are using methods to convict cyber bully's for their deeds. 
It is commonly known that criminal harassment has been a basis for cyber bullying to start off with and also that in severe cases where the victims may be on the line of suicide or have committed suicide, can have the cyber bully's be criminally charged. 
For the punishments of cyber bullying, it depends on the country/state that you are within, but they can range from being suspensions/expulsions from schools (if you are a student), also you can be punished with jail time for criminal misdemeanors and even felonies. Not to mention you can be fined and also serve juvenile detention for young criminals.
As of yet, cyber bullying is rapidly growing just like the online environment so governments and the law are now taking attention to the online threats that are being posed by cyber bully's, creating policies and regulations that protect you online. And the growing of punishments are growing as well to protect people and to punish those who commit such an offense.

So to the people who are cyber bully's, be prepared for your days are limited and you are BOUND to get caught!!
