Surprise! All of those things can, and do, still happen. Plus, the Internet silently facilitates a lot more of that behaviour despite being in the "safety" of the home.

It's not the same. Yes, the internet has led to some nasty, new behaviors. But its one thing to have your kid's minecraft server invaded by trolls, it's another to find out your kid was physically beaten up by neighbor kids down the street

Those are not mutually exclusive. It's worse to be systematically hounded online and then subjected to regular bullying.
