A group of kids took a photo of my daughter while she was dancing, placed it on one of their Facebook pages, and started a conversation full of cruel comments. Has anyone had a similar experience? What did you do?
Thanks, all, for the replies. The school counselor wasn't very helpful. I feel that the counselor should've met with the girls who participated in the bullying, and the counselor should have called me -- neither of which happened. However, my husband and I talked to the parents involved. We've verified that the images were taken off. It's a lesson learned about harsh middle school dynamics, particularly between girls. Our daughter is new to the area and having a hard time making friends (she's quirky, awkward), and this show us she will definitely be an easy target. We'll just hope that she eventually finds a "safe" friend or two.

I agree with Miranda. And contact the parents of the kids too, if possible. Bullying is bullying, no matter the format.

Oh, how cruel. Kids are so mean aren't they? Plus I'm sure at this point in yur daughters life it feels earth-shattering. I wouldn't take this lightly simply put this is bullying I would contact the school counselor immediately. Maybe she can call those kids down and talk some sense into them. After all this is cyber bullying and happening so much more now.
I am sure you don't want to call the parents of the kids b/c I'm sure your daughter doesn't want this. However, if I found out my kid did something like this I would be furious.
I think you should call the counselor. Just be there for your daughter middle/school high school is so cruel. I'm sorry she is going through this.
I take it that these people aren't her friends? If they aren't, you can contact facebook directly and ask them to remove it. If they are her friends, I have found that the offending picture is made fun of by the person in it, lol Are you sure they aren't just trying to laugh with her? We all will take pictures that make us look not so great, but we also usually can laugh at it. At least that is what I have seen when not so flattering pictures are posted.
She can also talk with her friends and let them know. THey truly might not know she is hurt. It couldn't make the situation worse.
I think you can report it at the site some place. That's just wrong, if these are friends of hers, have them removed from her page, but be sure to contact FB about it!
When this happened to one of my neighbors, the parents reported them to site, removed the people from their daughters list and contacted the school counelor. I am not sure what happened with the site, but 2 days later a note was sent home form school informing the students and parents that bullying was not acceptable and if any form was occurring on school property that the school system would be involved. In AA county the punishements range from detention to expulsion.
