An 11-year-old girl's angry, profanity-laced online video rants are drawing widespread attention for their shocking content.
The girl, who calls herself "Jessi Slaughter," in one video tells her critics that she will "put a Glock (pistol) in their mouths and make a brain slushy," The Early Show reports. In another, she starts crying and says she "has been having emotional breakdowns."
"It's very sad that an 11 yr old needs to go to this length to feel connected to somebody, and we have to worry about that in the long-term for her," child psychologist Dr. Jennifer Hartstein says on The Early Show.
Check out a comprehensive look at the story on our sister site, Urlesque.

Janice said...What most reports are overlooking is that the whole brouhaha started because this girl was posting sexually provocative pictures of herself online. Members on the webcam community she was a part of told her to take them down, but she didn't and posted her "haters" video.
But of course, it's much more convenient to leave that part out of the story if the news is trying to slant to show she's the victim and make a statement about cyberbullying. It definitely went way overboard, but in a way as a parent, if I were THAT oblivious about my child posting those kinds of things at 11 (or really, any age), I would probably be grateful for the wakeup call, albeit overdone.

sc0tt5b0x3r5 said...Wow. She just wants attention. It's just like those 'scene queens' and all those other little punk-ass wannabes, they get online, talk crap, put on a big, bad, attitude, and shoot for internet fame. It's just the new way to be the cool kid now. I'm twenty, and close enough to the age of the kids that do that crap to recognise it. Her train of thought: Hm I'm eleven, so that'll freak people out cause I'm young, and I'll curse and make threats and show off my attitude til I get attention for it'. People, watch what your kids do online lol

Everyone is blaming the parents for not supervising her. Honestly, the blame for the start of the bruhaha lasts solely on that girl. But the idiots from the net are just as much to blame for their tactics as well. Several of them went beyond overboard and deserve whatever punishment if deemed fit.
As for the girl, spending time in "protective custody" should have taught her a lesson about how evil the internet can be.

Alicia said...She also put massive amounts of private information up online, opening herself up to that sort of bullying. They don't mention it here, but her biggest opponent is 4chan, a site for fringe elements on the web where death threats are sort of the joke of the day and rarely acted on. 4chan also made her famous, but she went too far and now they're retaliating. Of course, they all need to grow up, but anyone who knows anything about the site knows that that will never happen and that 4chan has actually done quite a bit of good in the past as well. Her parents are stupid for "supporting her" rather than making her take down everything she posted and banning her from the internet. She's opened herself up to far greater danger than cyberbullying with some of what she posted.

Zhailiska said...I Might actually feel bad for what she's been through if... She'd keep her clothes on, first of all. She's ELEVEN years old... ELEVEN. She's posting Pornographic images of herself ONLINE and making NASTY youtube videos. Sure a few BOTDF fan went to far by threatening her life after she almost got Dahvie arrested saying he had sex with her.. But She told EVERY ONE who views her videos how bad she wants to "Stick a gun in your mouth and make some Brain slushies." She also goes on in the video to say how you can "Suck My non real Penis and get aids and die" what eleven year old should talk like that? Not only is she at fault but her parents make a video on her channel saying how EVERYONE else is to blame. And let their "little Princess" keep her Webcam, and computer in HER ROOM. Pardon me, but what happened to disciplining your children. If that was my child... well it would never of gotten that far, because no eleven year old needs a web cam, or a cell phone. And I'd monitor her online usage with a KEYLOGGER. But if Some how she DID do something like this.. She'd not only be grounded, with nothing but a Bed in her room, but I'd give her the butt whooping she so obviously needs

Stacie said...Who's to blame? She's ELEVEN years old.. and posting sick videos and Pornographic images of herself online. Then she starts a rumor that Dahvie Vanity from the band BloodOnTheDanceFloor had SEX with her. I had com across her, before 4chan ever did, and I saw how mean people were. I told her "I like the make up you do, and you arn't fat, but because you are young, maybe people would be less hateful if you wore clothes." the girl then responded to how "Fake" i was and I needed to close my legs. So who should be punished? How about her WONDERFUL parents who know WHAT she's posted, and instead of grounding her, and probably a stern spanking, they let her keep the computer that she posted the videos and pictures from, in her room. She's not being Cyber bullied.. She's realizing that in the real world.. you can't pretend to be that. She acted like a slut and her father stood up for it. Threatening her life was going to far I agree. But BOTDF has some pretty faithful followers. I, in fact, am a fan. But I wouldn't harm Jessi. She's just a little whiny brat striving for attention... and THAT is what you people are giving to her... Sucks to be famous for showing your body online at 11 years old and getting your "Favorite" band charged with rape.
