Facebook gossip page vilifies Melbourne high school students. Some of the cyberbullies have been warned or disciplined, but the pages keep resurfacing. Bullies beware: "A Victoria Police spokeswoman said those vilified were encouraged to seek legal advice or contact Facebook if no criminal offence had been committed. Police could lay stalking or menace-over-a-telecommunications-service charges against someone for Facebook posts."

ETA: A superb bit of commentary on this: facebook enabling more efficient bullying.
