Is cyber-bullying a federal crime?
I just read that there is an act called the Megan Meier Cyber Bullying Prevention Act. Does this mean that cyber-bullying is a crime? If it is a crime, is it a federal crime?

At present, no federal law directly addresses cyber-bullying.
Explanation:
At present, no federal law directly addresses cyber-bullying. In some cases, bullying overlaps with discriminatory harassment which is covered under federal civil rights laws enforced by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice.
