With facebook, your options are really limited, but they're really simple as well. At the time of this posting (since facebook has a knack for changing everything frequently) you can go to their Help page and search for "abuse" and select from the available links on that page. In most cases it would be as simple as finding the "Report Page" link for the group or page.

Im in a group on facebook and being mobile with no way to leave or report the content, its hard to just ignore the rude posts. I originally thought it was a group for the recently deceased Amanda Todd as the poster put loving and kind messages about how she would be missed and now shes posting pics of bleach and saying how much of a slut she is and that she deserved t die. How do i go about reporting her and her fake group?

You could do a couple things and it all depends on what route you want to take.
1.) is to simply leave the group. Belonging to the yahoo group, while fun, is not inescapable. Someone that carries the conversation beyond the boundaries of the yahoo group setting though is a different story.
2.) would be to report it to yahoo themselves with any evidence you have on the issue. They would be the authorities you would contact in this situation. If the issue leaves yahoo and continues with safety-threatening conversation, then you would probably contact the California or Utah law enforcement.

I am not an expert on any of this and I don’t know how it pertains to anyone outside the US. You might want to check with your local laws and see if there is anything you can do. However, it is an interesting situation you’re in.

I am in Belgium and I have been severly harassed by a cyberbully from California.
Your claim that I shouldn’t react is odd, because this involves a person who is a member of yahoogroups that I am a member of as well. On the groups themselves he is very well behaved. I did most of the things you suggest here. One of the group owners has reacted very well and immediately posted his offensive comments in the group and told him off. The other group owner however, faulted me in this, and proceeded to bully me in almost exactly the same way as the original bully and on top of that sullied my reputation to the group and prevented me from defending myself by blocking me from posting in the group.
This group-owner is based in Utah. Who do i contact adn what can i do?

I realize that my attitude for others are kind. Others feel that I’m in that criteria mentioned in the blog, so they think I’m a easy target for harrassment.

The only "official" advice I can give you is to 1.) report it to youtube, or to the admins of the medium being used to harass you, and 2.) that if the harassment leaves the internet and/or implies there is some real-life threat, that you contact your local police or FBI office with the evidence that it is directly explicitly at you. The article above describes how to go about doing all that, with some links to help you find your FBI office, etc. This only works if you have not responded in kind to any of the harassment. If you have responded equally then you're just caught up in an internet drama war, and I can't provide any advice on that. In my case, I reported 3 different methods of attack that my stalker used via youtube's harassment page, but took it upon myself (which I do not recommend) to find the individual's personal information and see if there was someone more rational that knew them who could talk them out of it. I do not know which method worked, because within 24 hours of reporting the 3rd incident and contacting who I determined to be the stalker's family, the youtube channel was gone. The only reason the user would have deleted it their-self would the amount of personal information I had amassed about the actual user who thought they were anonymous...not all users care, necessarily, about who knows what about them, so it could only exacerbate the issue if it backfires.
