The Polk County Sheriff's Office is investigating the role of cyberbulling in the suicide of a 12-year-old girl, the Lakeland Ledger reports.
According to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, Rebecca Ann Sedwick apparently jumped to her death after being terrorized online. Judd said that some of the girls who may have been involved in the social-media bullying have been identified, and that parents are cooperating by turning over laptops and cell phones.
