Regarding Josh, doesn't this seem really harsh, especially if the Porters weren't attack targets? I don't know of any parents who haven't told their kids something bizarre or weird only to have their kids think of them as demented or insane. Kids believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. These are actually beneficial, so let's go darker. Kids believe in the boogey man and ghosts, vampires and mummies. Lots of people believe aliens are flying around the planet. Josh's father telling him about people who can change their form isn't such a big deal that he would suddenly look at his father as insane. He would have seen as much, if not more, as a kid on television. The one thing I can say for Josh's father is that he didn't hide what he was from his son in a secret trailer somewhere or pretend he was dead.
That also raises questions. If there are Grimms that move to places with little to no wesen, are there also Grimms who take steps to make sure they don't have children who might become Grimms?
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
