Police investigating anonymous 'Ugliest Girls' poll
Friday, December 4, 2015 1:32:57 EST PM
ST. JOHN'S, N.L. -- A school board in Newfoundland and police are now investigating a case of cyberbullying involving an anonymous poll ranking girls at a high school based on their looks.
Lynelle Cantwell, a student at Holy Trinity High School in Torbay, is getting national attention for her response to the creators of the online poll, called "Ugliest Girls in Grade 12."
Today the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District said in an e-mail that it and the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary are looking into the poll.
The school board says the poll is contrary to the school board's social media policy and the actions of the creators are unacceptable.

Bullies suck. This young lady took the right approach, IMO. Glad the police are getting involved.
