Cyber-bullying is on the rise!

Teens busted for phony Facebook pages.

Lee County School District is investigating a potential bullying incident involving two Estero High students who created false Facebook accounts that degraded another girl.

Some of the pictures on the Facebook page showed the victim's head superimposed on the body of a young, half-nude child and depicted the victim about to perform sex acts. Derogatory remarks, which were meant to portray the victim as commenting about herself, were posted next to the pictures, reports The News-Press.
A photo of a man’s genitalia was placed near her open mouth, according to the report.

One of the girls told investigators she and the victim used to be friends. She said they created the accounts because they thought it would be funny and "nobody liked her," according to The News-Press.
A judge sentenced the two girls to 21 day of home detention on Tuesday. They'll be arraigned in juvenile court Feb. 8, reports The News-Press.

Woman Gets 18 To 60 Years In Facebook-Feud Crash

A life was taken over nonsense!

Torrie Emery, a 23-year-old Pontiac, Michigan woman accused of starting a fatal high-speed chase in a Facebook feud with a woman over the affections of a prison inmate gets 18 to 60 years in the slammer!

Authorities said Emery saw rival Danielle Booth in the passenger seat of Abernathy's car and gave chase. Emery's 3-year-old daughter was riding with her when she rammed Abernathy's car, which sped through an intersection and struck a dump truck.

Emery faced second-degree murder in the July 21 death of 21-year-old Alesha Abernathy. She also faced assault with intent to commit great bodily harm and second-degree child abuse.
