This news comes from the city about 5 miles south of me. What is the world coming to?
This little girl is dying from Huntington’s Disease, which killed her mother. Her neighbor posts horrific pictures of her on Facebook and so forth to make fun of her.
What the hell is wrong with that woman to bully a child like that? She deserves everything she’s going to get as a result of her actions becoming public.
Why would the Michigan Attorney General’s office get involved? They don’t have anything to do with enforcement of any laws at this level. The local Trenton police or sheriff’s office would investigate the facts to determine if there’s a crime, and the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office would prosecute if it’s determined that there is, Trenton being in Wayne County. I don’t believe that the Michigan Attorney General’s office would have any conceivable involvement.
You can see video of her on this page. The good stuff is about 50 seconds into the video.
Of course, now that the story is public, apparently a bunch of people with a similar lack of proportion have been making death threats against the woman and her husband.
These sorts of incidents are a no-lose situation for the lazy assholes who run local news stations. They get to blow neighborhood disputes out of all proportion, and then, when their own beat-ups lead to public outrage and death threats, they get to cover that, as well as the inevitable apology that comes as a result of all the intimidation.
Hey, since we’re talking about cyberbullying, I know of another case of cyberbullying!
Kudos to BobLibDem for his extremely relevant reference, but of the two cases, while both are pretty crappy, I find a great deal more sympathy for the seven year old Huntington’s sufferer than I do for the twenty-one year old university student body president. Child as opposed to adult, dying as opposed to healthy, and most relevant for this discussion, already-had-two-threads vs has-this-current-thread.
This Jennifer bitch said it was a “mistake.” How is that a mistake? She didn’t accidentally make those pictures. There isn’t a “make photoshop mocking little kid” button on the computer that she could have accidentally pressed.
Wow, that’s pathetic. I almost wouldn’t have a problem if one of the people making death threats to this couple that has the audacity to publicly make fun of a dying little girl made it a reality. Almost.
This bitch and that fucker that stabbed the boy at Dave & Busters really, really challenge my opposition to the death penalty. People like that simply do not desrve to live.
