Except for the possible assault, no one should be charged with this. It was wrong of them but it shouldn't be illegal.

I can agree to a certain extent, but cyber bulling has to be stopped somehow. Suicide hasn't just happened once, but has happened on various occassions. If it were to be made illegal, then it'd infringe on our right to freedom of speech, but what can be done about the problem?

It's not something for the law to deal with, it's something that people need to be educated about; schools need to be more aware of, parents need to be more aware of and so on. You can't outlaw just not being nice to people.

But that doesn't take away the fact that something needs to be done about it. Yes, I don't think you can make cyber bullying illegal, but there should be some kinda help for the victims provided. 

Also, just because the images were supplied by her doesn't mean it's okay to just free distribute them. It's still child porn no matter if the subject was willing or not.
