If someone threatens your child with violence, immediately contact law enforcement officials. If your child is being threatened or harassed online, you may want to contact one or more of the following:
School Resource Officer
Your child's school may have a School Resource Officer (SRO), a sworn law officer assigned to their school. If so, let the SRO know about the harassment or threats. If your school does not have an SRO, contact local law enforcement.
Internet Service Provider
Your email account settings or instant messaging software may allow you to block further messages from the sender. You can report the harassment or threats to your ISP and the harasser's ISP if you know which ISP the harasser uses. You can ask that the harasser's account be suspended or blocked.
CyberTipline
If your child receives invitations for sexual acts or unsolicited obscene material over the Internet, you can report it by calling 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or by visiting http://www.cybertipline.com.
Cyberstalking Tips
Save the original message. Don't delete or erase threatening emails or other communications from your mailbox or voicemail. If you are asked to share a threatening email message with law enforcement, forward the original message. A printed copy of the email or an excerpt from it will not be as useful to law enforcement as the original email message that you received.
Don't respond to messages from people you don't know, and don't engage in any communications with a harasser.
If the harassment persists, consider contacting a victims' rights group for advice and support.
Keep a note of the times and dates of abusive messages or incidents
