Stalking has no age limit. Harassment has no age limit.
Throughout the years, I've come to realize that online bullying, and online stalking, don't have to be the result of someone who is young, or particularly experienced. It doesn't matter what your age is. Although I've observed a correlation between age groups that seem driven by online addiction, it's vital to never underestimate your foe: they come in all sizes, shapes, ages, and backgrounds. It is true that online addiction holds no prejudice.
What I've Seen
The crime of cyberbullying and cyber stalking is unique in and of itself. It differs from any other crime in that it does not require physical strength or an in-person meeting to cause fear.
In my experience, I have seen people engage in content farming for college tuition, grown adults engaging in online stalking, and children as young as 13 that are coerced by these adults online, to participate in mob mentalities online.
That's scary.
Most of the time, the people engaging in online harassment do not even realize what they're doing. Besides residing mental health issues, most families are even unaware. Perhaps their partner tells them someone online is bothering them, and that's about it. What about the rest of the story?
