Kids and the Internet, the Jessi Slaughter incident
Long story short. Stuck up 11 year old girl makes obnoxious internet videos, internet responds, family is now under police protection.
Ok, now short story long...
11 year old girl thinks she is the queen of her little 6th grade class, so she posts videos of herself online talking obscene amounts of trash.
WARNING, VERY STRONG LANGUAGE AHEAD, NOT FOR THE EARS OF CHILDREN

Now, given the content of that video, you might think she had it coming, but this is the internet response was grossly out of proportion.
The cesspool of the internet, the /b/ boards on 4chan (aka: theinternethatemachine) caught wind and find she has youtube, facebook, myspace, twitter, and other video accounts online. Using social engineering they get access to her real life address, phone number, real name, etc, and start harassing the ever living hell out of her family. Mass take out orders delivered to her home, phony police calls, threats of violence, death threats, there is no end to it.
Her family falling apart at all the pressure, she makes another video in response. Probably the worst thing she could have done at that point. Her dad makes an angry entrance and makes a bit of a fool of himself.
YouTube - You dun goofed up
All the people harassing her think this is just the most wonderful thing in the world, and keep on harassing as well as start a smear campaign against her, including making sexual allegations to the police about her and the lead singer of her favorite band. Remember, she is 11 years old.
At this point her family is under police protection. She is ordered by the court to stay off the internet (unfortunately, only for 3 days).

Lessons to be learned?
Supervise your children's internet activity.
If they draw the ire of the internet, don't respond back.Last edited by markevens; 07-19-2010 at 08:04 AM.
