Cancer Survivor Cyber Bullied

Fourteen year old, Justine Williams, who had lost her leg to cancer at the age of ten had to deal with a cyber bully. Beginning in February, the girl started receiving text messages and phone calls with terrifying messages like "I'm going to kill your animals" and "I'm going to rape you." The Williams then decided to bring in the police and found out that the person behind the cyber bullying turned out to be Justine's best friend. The friend used a website to hide her number and would talk to Justine while the bullying would happen just to see her reaction. The bully was pulled out of Justine's classes and is forced to do community service and get counseling.
