Girls, 11, quizzed for knife threat on Facebook

A number of girls in a southside Cork City primary school have been questioned by gardaí after a girl was threatened with a knife via a Facebook page.

The victims and the bullies were about 11 years of age. Abusive messages threatening “to smash her tiny head so hard it will explode” were also posted.

Gardaí in Blackrock are investigating the cyberbullying case, which came to light in recent days after a parent discovered the page.
