You'd be surprised.  I've been part of several parent/teacher/admin meetings relating to things kids said to each other over various social media platforms.  I had a third grader who was talking about his youtube channel in class, for example.  Later members of admin found out he was bad mouthing the school on his channel.  Over the years (1 in 3rd grade, 1 in 4th grade, 4 in 5th grade, 2 in 6th, 2 in 7th, 2 in 8th) I have witnessed way too many issues that started online.  Kids have come to me in tears showing me some of the stuff that has been sent to them over social media.  Again, some of these instances were indeed as young as 3rd and 4th grade!  Some of those messages are absolutely brutal.  If I did not know any better, I'd peg them as messages between adults with some of the swears and insults used.  In fact, so many 5th graders from my past classes had phones that after my first week with them I started collecting them at the start of the day and did not give them back until the end of the day because it prevented a lot of issues during school.
