At 10:46 p.m. Saturday, March 18 in Nordland, a man said his daughter was being harassed by other middle-school students in a group chat on social media.

The children were calling his daughter names, and kids started making fun of the man and his wife after he told them he was calling police.

The girl, 11, goes to school in Chimacum. The father said 12 other students were involved in the harassment, and he said he didn’t have the opportunity to contact the school because school was out.

The man said he only knew the names of a few students, but when he reached out to a parent of one of the children, the parent said it was all his daughter’s fault.

The man said his daughter had been “firing back” during the online chat but only to defend herself.

The man said he would take his daughter to school Monday to meet with school staff and also to mitigate against any retaliation against his daughter.

He said he wanted law enforcement to do something if the school couldn’t remedy the situation.

The man was advised to call back if needed, and also told to have his daughter discontinue using the app and to block the other students on social media.
