- Block and report: Make sure the bullying content has been reported to Facebook. We will review the reported content and remove anything that violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Remind your friend to block the person responsible without responding directly to the bullying or escalating the conflict in any way.
- Restrict privacy settings: Advise your friend to use account privacy settings to control who can view their profile. Access privacy settings by clicking on "Privacy Settings" from the "Account" drop-down menu in the top right corner of every Facebook page.
- Evaluate and document: Is someone at risk of physical harm? Contact your local law enforcement immediately if the bully has posted personal contact information or made specific threats of physical violence. Take screenshots of all bullying posts, and print them out to save.
