Dear Colleagues:

Would the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 be wide enough to protect

a person from teenage cyber-bullying in the form of posting embarrassing

pictures and demeaning comments about another teenager on the web as a

form of revenge for some perceived slight?  I am thinking of the kind of

behavior that does not involve threats of physical violence. Does anyone

know of any cases dealing with this issue?

Cheers,
