We all know about high school bullyinghabut have you heard of cyber-bullying? It's real and three Loranger High School students have been arrested for it.haAs WAFB's Marie Centanni reports, student bullyinghamay have gone too far.


Investigators with the Attorney General's High-Tech Crimes Unithasay the situation started when a 15-year-old female student created a website called "Loranger's biggest queer.com." The website featuredhapictures of a 14-year-old male student. He responded with his own web site, which investigators say included a list of students he called "The Preps," and poems so graphically violent, investigators say "they crossed the line."


Kris Wartelle with the Attorney General's Office said, "It sort of was like bullying on the Internet that got even worse, and we're lucky it didn't escalate to something even worse."


After seeing the boy's website, ahaconcerned parent alerted the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office.haThehaAttorney General'shaHigh Tech Crime Unit was contacted and beganhaan imediate investigation.haAuthorities confiscated the student's computers.ha


Both students were arrested, as well as 18-year old Joseph Sanchez, who was charged with contributing to the delinquincy of a minor. Authorities say Sanchezhahelped the younger male set up and maintain his website. The pair called themselves the "8-Ballas," and targeted students they called "The Preps."


"When you have students making threats tohaother students or groups of students on the Internet, talking about killing someone or blowing up the school or shooting a certain group of people, when there's a feud like that and certain words are used,"haexplains Wartelle, "That's when you worry about something escalating or becoming the next columbine and these days you have to take threats seriously."


The school system is taking it seriously as well, and will decide Friday whether to expel the three students for the remainder of the school year. All of the students involved are honor students.


Cyber-stalking is a relative felony, whichhameans a judge can decide if it is a misdemeanor of the more serious felony crime. It's punishable with a $2,000 fine or one year imprisonment.

hows that song go "I always feel like, sombodys watchin me"

Shut the fuck up you no good piece of shit.

I wish you would just shrivel up and fester like an old man's penis!

Meet me at the convention floor at 3pm, I'm gonna "punch you out".

They should all get the electric chair.

I will see you in court buster.

Hell... I'm gonna get smutty with some females on GFY... and I might even stalk em from thread to thread

Think I'll get arrested?? :-)

Sheesh... it gets more pathetic by the day...

Loranger's biggest queer.com. ... thats fucking gold! :D

I am going to kill all of you.

lol @ "cyber stalking"

Wow, now I gotta watch out...

it was about fucking time
nice law indeed

Anybody who calls themselves the "8-Ballas" should be arrested and thrown into a jail for morons

so the gay guy has to take down his site cause it says he wants to kill all the prepie kids that made fun of him by making a site with his schools name in it and homo attached to it and put a picture of him on it thats straight up defimation of character the parent was probably one of the prepie kids parents so it's ok for them to put up a site and call the kid a homo but not a site saying that the prepie kids should all die for making a site about him calling him a homo

THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED UP

REVENGE i would have done the same to tell you the truth but i probably would have fucked up the person who put the site up about me... beaten the shit out of them made they're life a living hell you know..

This is nothing new with chatrooms. But cyber-bullying? hehe

hehe, yeah. it's quite ridiculous.

so, it's fine for some preppy whore to post things about him and he posts a couple hateful poems and he's the bad guy?

I guess nothing was learned from Columbine...
