I wonder about these things though, especially the cyperbullying issue. While blackmail might get the authority's attention, it has to be some serious blackmail for it to jump high on their radar. And unfortunately, they might get more high profile cases and the small ones won't be addressed.
And, the cyberbullying cases that have gotten attention have resulted in suicide or serious self harm. It's sad that someone has to reach such a breaking point in order for the problem to be addressed. If someone was to alert the police of a cyberbullying case, they would have to have a really strong case in order for them to jump on it right away.
Maybe the police need a bigger task force to address problems such as cyberbullying. If someone calls the police and tells them that there is domestic violence occurring , the police show up right away. But, if someone calls the police and says that they are being cyberbullied, are the police going to show up?
Police forces are decades behind but trying to catch up. As for this case, without knowing all the details, I can say for every 1 case you hear a about on the news, thousands don't and the police force and Bureau take on way more than the high profile cases we hear about.
