To Hans- yes, the mother didn't trust her, but she's not a loser for that! Do you know how many parents EXCUSE their kids for misbehaving and claim "my angel didn't do it, they told me!". But the girl sounds like she's a good child, so that was a mistake on the mom's part. And, I'm sorry, a "Children prank"?? Would you classify the elementary school incident when my [twin] brother was doing an assignment with two boys who wrote "[my brother's name] raped [my name]" on his Powerpoint as a "children prank"? "It was just a joke" is the most frequent excuse for bullying.

To me this is a children prank. It doee not even seem. Like they bullied her, and we did not know exactly what they wrote. The true looser her is the mother, for not trusting her child. Thw feeling of humiliation for the girl did not came from whatbthey boys did, but from the mothers mistrust and unjustified punishment.

I agree. I remember when I was at school 14 years ago and every time someone forgot to log out from a public computer some other people always trolled their accounts. I also have to admit that once I saw a girl who had said nasty things to me to leave her e-mail inbox open so I just quickly emptied and deleted all her mail as a revenge. That was stupid but at least it was an important lesson for everyone about online safety.

Frankly, a public library computer should have much more restrictive settings, particularly if used by children. Full browser clean-up upon exit, screenlock after a minute of no usage and so forth...
