Problems with Louisiana's Proposed Cyber bullying Law

I think this is really problematic!!! See Louisiana Bill Would Outlaw Insulting an Under-17-Year-Old By E-Mail

I have talked about how false moral panics are being generated as to the Catholic Priest abuse scandal. Here we have a situation where yes there have been some tragic cases with some teens that were abused or harassed or insulted etc etc etc. However the response here to this is a horrific overreach in my opinion potentially making a whole much of conduct criminal.

This should be handled under regular harassment statutes
