Florida: Charges in Rebecca Sedwick 'bullying death' 

Two girls in the US state of Florida have been arrested yesterday in connection with the death of another girl who authorities say took her own life after months of relentless online bullying. 

The two girls, aged 12 and 14, of Lakeland, Florida, have been charged with felony aggravated stalking, and are said to have bullied Rebecca Sedwick online for a year. Authorities said she was "terrorized" online by up to 15 former friends. Rebecca jumped to her death from a toweron 9 September. 

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd confirmed the bullying campaign had begun last year after the 14-year-old girl objected to Rebecca dating a boy whom she had been seeing. The girls bullied Rebecca through online message boards and mobile text messages, authorities told the news media. Mr. Grady toldreporters authorities had arrested the 14-year-old on Monday for fear she would offendother girls. "We decided that we can't leave her out there," he stated. "Who else is she going to torment, who else is she going to harass?"

The 14-year-old girl's mother complained to the Associated Press news agency: "My daughter's a good girl and I'm 100% sure that whatever they're saying about my daughter is not true." Authorities seized some of the girls' computers and mobile phones during the course of the investigation.

2 days before Rebecca Sedwick’s funeralon 16 September, the two female suspects were charged under Florida's cyber stalking civil statute, which allows public schools to discipline students for harassment.
