Summary:

Those are just some of the 'mean tweets' sent to 15 year old Grace McComas in Maryland six years ago. After being cyberbullied relentlessly she took her own life. That prompted the West Virginia legislature to be among the first to make cyberbullying of kids, a crime. "With this law we'll be able to go after people who perpetrate these kinds of crimes against our minors, and stop them before they escalate to the point where someone's ready to commit suicide," said Del. Jill Upson, (R) Jefferson.
