remaining attempts: 1

Explanation:

Ignoring does nothing to address harm. Responding with hurtful comments escalates negativity. Sharing can spread harm. Reporting the post to the platform (to get it reviewed/removed) and offering private support to the affected person (to help them emotionally) is a responsible, constructive action that addresses the issue without causing more harm.

Answer:

Report the post to the platform and offer private support to the person affected.
