I read that on your link provided, LPC.
Judging by some of the comments added, (and -not surprisingly!) it seems to be the fault of the capacity of Facebook's online form for reporting. Now, at roots level, that means they are not willing to use resources to help solve these bullying issues, and I presume the same regarding abuse content.
"....'We have found this content does not infringe your copyright or rights'...." (quoted from the above page) -is not correct. Harassment is a legal issue. So, in effect, Facebook is stepping outside the correct legal framework they should be mindful of.
Referring this chap to his local police force is passing the buck of responsibility.
It is Facebook's legal responsibility to take charge of what is published on their pages....in my honest opinion.
It is a dereliction of duty that they refuse to, or curtail reporting, so that the subject of the report cannot be properly discussed. The online report form should have a word limit of -say -200 words. And their ethical standards should be seriously overhauled. They should also be very mindful of legal issues. And manpower and funding should be sufficient to cover extra attention this may need.
Social media is a minefield, but something must be done about what is going on in Facebook.
