Oki ex I understand ... friend maybe ... but your mom????? Wtf

The betrayal is real.

Sometimes it is better if you don't block someone because if the stalker is posting how they're going to harm someone, you can snippit and take it to the police. Many states are adopting cyber bullying laws and in order to press charges, you have to have proof and prove intent. Most people cannot prevent cyber bullying, even by blocking someone. in this case it would have been almost impossible seeing as how OP's mother and friend were involved, another fake profile would have been made and the harassment would've continued and possibly escalated. If someone is that determined, they will do anything possible to make the victim feel helpless, worthless, and fear.

Mom: "Talk about her earlobes as much as possible—she's super self-conscious about them." Friend: "Oh, yeah, and make sure you use the word 'literally' all the time and incorrectly. It drives her crazy!" Stalker: "Uh, maybe we should plan this out somewhere other than public posts on Facebook." Mom: "You kidding? She's not exactly the most observant gal. I give her a few months before she notices this conversation while scrolling through your posts."

What kind of parent encourages and actively participates in their child being harassed and stalked? You need to confront both of them OP, if they deny it, show them evidence, and honestly, I wouldn't speak to either of them after that. They have no regard for your well-being and saw nothing wrong with making you feel humiliated, violated and unsafe. You shouldn't have people that do that to you in your life.

You can drop the friend but I'm so sorry that your mother helped to. I would confront her.

Your example is not a good one. In order for a "murderer" to get arrested they have to commit the crime and you would indeed collect evidence for an arrest. Someone who takes the time to bully or harass someone really needs help and blaming the victim is atrocious. OP is not at fault for not blocking the asshole. If there were threats made against her or her life, she needs the proof for a restraining order or to file a complaint with the police department. As long as OP does not engage the aggressor than she is not in the wrong and proves beyond reasonable doubt that the other girl is guilty. You can also have someone on Facebook and not see anything they say or post and with security settings OP would need to approve anything on their time line and to be tagged in any status.

How did you figure it out?

#1- Not understanding your logic. Blocking the ex-girlfriend would not have stopped the ex from posting stuff and her mom and friend from intervening. Blocking could only prevent the ex-gf from going on her page and showing up on her notifications.

Who needs enemies with family and friends like that
