Here's a list of steps Glenn Stutzky, a school safety violence specialist, suggests to combat cyber-bullying:
For children:

Be careful to whom you give your number or online handle.
Report harassment to school officials and parents.

For parents:
Talk about the subject with your kids.
Supervise their cell phone and Internet usage.
Buy software that records instant messages.

For schools:

Educate teachers and students about the seriousness of the problem.
Make sure parents know who to contact at the school about cyber-bullying.
