Cyber Bullying continues to be a problem for area youth. Most recently, the mother of a child in Murfreesboro had to call police after the cyber bullying got so bad that death was mentioned on Instagram for her daughter.

The fictitious account was made by using pictures of the intended victim and the child's name. One post suggested that the creator of the account wished the child was dead.
