I'm just not sure HOW they can stop this stuff. I've read some things lately that local kids are doing to each other online and it's pretty nasty. The parents have to have some liability for the actions of the child, but ultimately a 200lb 8th grader is responsible for his actions.
We talk to our kids quite a bit about being nice to everyone, and sticking up for the kids or not participating if others are being mean. It's not acceptable in our house and if I got a call that my kid was picking on someone else it would be their ass at home.
Obviously a large segment of our society don't do the same.

Usually no parents at home because they are at work or boozing. Kids are raised by the tv, microwaved meals and social media. They are brutal, my buddy has two twins, he tries and block most of the social media. He randomly asks me what is new since I work in the field to make sure they do not have access to it.
It makes certain kids extra cruel, because they can say anything. Then some mentally deficient kids take it to the next level.
Take the slenderman attempted murder by the 12yo girls.. Parents need smacked.
