This almost has evolved into a "Dear Abby" session.
I think you should simply click the ignore button and leave the drama alone. These Facebook "friends" are more like blimps on a radar screen than a "real friend". Last count, I had 13 friends on my list and I personally know everyone of them. All but one reside in my state. My wife on the otherhand has about 300 "friends" and only knows like a few more than the original 13 I have. Don't sweat it.
But to address harrassment, first off there is a Terms of Service that you and everyone with a Facebook account agreed to. There are millions of users and millions of these messages sent all around the world. Hypothetically, what if you lived in Arkansas and "Girl A" lived in China or let's be alittle more local and stay within this country and say she lived in Michigan. The question that must be considered is one of "yep, it may or may not be harrassment" but other than complaining to an Internet Provider, Facebook or whatever, then what does one do? Where does jurisdiction be found? Is it possible for you to commit a misdemeanor by "harrassing" or even "threatening" while your person is in one state and a complainant in some other state, or even some other country? What then?
Can she or anyone else go to the local county courthouse and swear out an arrest warrant and have the person in some other state brought into another state to answer some state law offense? If the answer to all this is YES, then we all are in big trouble. This is a classic opportunity to apply the old Army reasoning of ~~~K.I.S.S.~~~ and be done with it.
Hint: You can always assume a new identity and say hi to Girl A as anyone you want to be
Do I have to drop my helpful friend who gave me the head's up?
I have read the TOS for Facebook also. Facebook has a awesome Privacy feature on how you want to communicate.
What if someone is really harassing someone on there sexually (just by words)? No pictures. The same BLOCK rule applies right on Facebook? They can report it and the worst that will happen is an account being disabled or warned.
