Oceanside, NY – This Facebook group was just for fun, but now a group of alleged Long Island cyber-bullies is facing a decidedly unfunny $3 million lawsuit by the former classmate they supposedly tormented.
Denise Finkel, 18, of Oceanside, also names Facebook in her lawsuit, accusing the social-networking Web site of being “grossly irresponsible” for allowing several other Oceanside HS students to post defamatory statements about her.
Defendants Michael Dauber, Jeffrey Schwartz, Leah Herz and Melinda Danowitz allegedly discussed filling a classmate’s locker with rotten garbage and traded nasty barbs about someone they described as “the 11th cent” – claiming the person had AIDS a, according to documents filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
