There will always be bullies, especially in the school years, the big difference is now that the internet gives them further reach, if, the victim allows it. Not that the victim should have to avoid any websites, but thankfully there is that option, whether they choose it, or a parent or guardian is able to step in and do so. I think the bigger problem is this - how do we setup online environments, social platforms where bullies can be quickly outed? Make all posts public? Moderated posts only? In in ideal world, the parents of the bullies would be informed of the actions of their offspring, which does in some cases happen, and in a few cases work, but is harder to enact online. The one single thing I always advise parents with children online is simple - be the person paying the bill, own the admin rights, and until the mid teen years, make sure you keep an eye on the sites and contact. Only step in if there is a real problem.
