The story of Amanda Todd began just like all cyberbullying stories begin. Amanda Todd was born in 1996 in British Columbia, Canada, and was a happy easy going person, until she was introduced to an anonymous person on Facebook who flattered her so much to the point of convincing her to flash her topless body to him. A year later, the same person or another anonymous person sent her the picture and it went viral, creating a mass of bullying and teasing to the point that she had to change schools several times.

The distribution of Amanda Todd’s naked private pictures, once she sent in confidence, was not itself judged or condemned; only she was. Her reputation was ruined, she had no friends, she was beaten up by some classmates, and she tried drinking bleach but was saved at the last minute. Months later, Amanda Todd took her own life.

After her death, her Youtube video went viral to the point of reaching more than 17 million views. People were shocked when they learned about the Amanda Todd Story and reached out to her family. The authorities began a mass inquiry, especially with the inspiration and the help of Amanda’s bullying video.  To the shock of everyone, the hate campaign continued online after Amanda Todd took her own life, people ridiculed her suicide and made fun of the entire story, they even said she deserved what had happened to her.

How Amanda Todd died didn’t seem to make a difference to the bullies. The cyberbullying continued despite appeals for people to see the real tragedy behind Amanda’s death. The famous Anonymous hacking group even went on a massive search to defend Amanda and find the person who tormented and blackmailed her online but the authorities did not see him as a person of interest in the case.

The truth remains that people who bullied and tormented Amanda still walk the streets every day thinking their hate and actions mean nothing while in fact every comment they have made about her while she was alive or after her death, brings so much pain to the people who loved her. Remember that words do hurt and scar, sometimes beyond repair.

Tyler Clementi, 18, was a regular freshman who was passionate about playing the violin and was still new to his gay identity. Instead of enjoying college life at Rutgers University, his first semester proved to be a living hell, one he felt he had no way of escaping.

Tyler had a roommate, Dharun Ravi, who had a hard time getting along with him and realized that Tyler liked to keep to himself most of the time. When Tyler informed his roommate that he would be hosting a male guest in their dorm room and asked for some privacy, Dharun went across the hall to his friend, Molly Wei and both of them streamed a video live from Tyler’s room using Dharun’s webcam, they say Tyler kissing another man and Dharun immediately began tweeting about it to friends and other Rutgers students and possibly, the entire world.

On the same night, Tyler sent a request to the school’s administration asking for a single room citing the fact that his roommate had used a webcam to spy on him.

The next day, Tyler made the same notification to Dharun that he would be receiving a male guest, this time Dharun tweeted that he would be live streaming the entire sexual tryst, and invited everyone to watch, but the viewing never occurred.

The next day everyone woke up to the news that Tyler Clementi had jumped off a bridge into the Hudson River, his body was found hours later. His last communication with the world was a Facebook status declaring he was jumping off the bridge and that he was sorry.

Dharun and Molly were both charged with several counts, Molly made a deal to testify against Dharun for her charges to be dropped and later on Dharun was sentenced to 30 days in jail by a New Jersey judge for spying on his Tyler Clementi’s gay tryst.

“I do not believe he hated Tyler Clementi,” Judge Glenn Berman told the court. “He had no reason to, but I do believe he acted out of colossal insensitivity.”

Ravi, 20, spent his 30-day jail term and was also sentenced to three years probation, ordered to complete 300 hours of community service and attend counselling programs for cyber-bullying and alternative lifestyles.

He must also pay a $10,000 assessment to the probation department in increments of $300 per month beginning Aug. 1. The money will go to victims of bias crimes. The judge recommended that Ravi, who was born in India and is here on a green card, not be deported.

“I heard this jury say, ‘guilty’ 288 times–24 questions, 12 jurors. That’s the multiplication,” Berman said. “I haven’t heard you apologize once.”

Ravi was convicted of invasion of privacy, bias intimidation, witness tampering and hindering arrest stemming from his role in activating the webcam to peek at Tyler Clementi’s date with a man in the dorm room on Sept. 19, 2010. Ravi was also convicted of encouraging others to spy during a second date, on Sept. 21, 2010, and intimidating Tyler Clementi for being gay.

While it may be a good step for humanity that Dharun Ravi was punished for what he did, the truth remains that Tyler Clementi lost his life because others were intolerant and had no understanding of the consequences of disrespecting privacy and cyber mocking and bullying another human being.

After pictures were posted on Facebook, an online bullying campaign began and the 15-year-old from British Columbia eventually killed herself.

On the basis of materials seized, the detainee is also suspected of dozens of cases of online abuse in the Netherlands, the UK and the US, t he Dutch newspaper Omroep Brabant reports.

Carol Todd, Amanda's mother, thanked police at news of the arrest, saying: "This is truly a day we have been waiting for."

'More than one'

The suspect, who was arrested in January, made his first court appearance in Amsterdam on Wednesday, at which his detention was reportedly extended for three months.

"Today marks a major milestone in our investigation," said Inspector Paulette Friel of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. "A suspect has been identified, he has been arrested and he has been charged."

The suspect is said to have been living alone in a holiday home in the Netherlands town of Oisterwijk.

"The suspicions against the man are that he approached underage girls via the internet and then seduced them into performing sexual acts in front of a webcam,'' Dutch prosecutors said in a statement, quoted by AP.

"He is suspected of subsequently pressurising them to participate in making new material."

Suspected targets include men who were allegedly convinced the man was an underage boy and were persuaded into performing sexual acts on camera.

His lawyer, Christian van Dijk, said: "Prosecutors seem to think they have a big fish here, but if I see the evidence, it's not much. Lots of references to IP addresses and such."

He added: "He seems like a decent person, a young good-looking man who is easy to speak to."

Carol Todd told Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper she believed others were involved in the abuse too.

"I don't want everyone to get so hyped up that this is it, that this is the end," she said. "I don't think in my heart that this is the end. It's the start of it. There's more than one person in those chat rooms. There are more people responsible for extorting [Amanda]."
