I've had to look up subtweeting, I hope I've got the right word, it's when someone tweets something about you but doesn't name you, although it's obvious to your circle of friends who it's about. It's a very hard thing to prove a bully's intent or who they are subtweeting about.
My dd has been blatantly cyber bullied in the past (over a year ago) which (among other things) led to her taking a overdose. We talked to the police but they would only take action if it was an ongoing situation. Unfortunately DD has now fallen out with a close friend, I would say they are both equally to blame although neither see it like that and I don't see bridges being repaired any time soon. This 'friend' has now befriended the girls who were the original bullies and she is now subtweeting nasty comments 'presumably' about my dd, and although dd has blocked all the girls on various social media, other friends are telling her what is being said. DD was doing so well after a difficult couple of years (depression/self harm) and I now see her mental health deteriorating before my eyes.
This girl is not at college/school and although I have met her parents once, I don't know them. Both girls are 17.
I'm doing my utmost to support my dd. Should I talk to friend's parents even though girls are 17? DD has taken screen shots of things that have been said, but without context it's hard to show exactly how bitchy the comments are.
Advice please - and be nice - as I'm struggling here.
