Three days after 11-year-old Jessi Slaughter posted a video of herself on YouTube, her home is being bombarded with deaths threats and her family has been placed under police protection.
All because last Thursday, Jessi woke up at midnight and decided to post a video on YouTube called “Haters… Piercing… StickyDrama =D” with language that was extremely graphic.
Jessi was angry that she’d been linked to a sexual relationship with Blood on the Dancefloor lead singer Dahvie Vanity at the tween gossip channel StickyDrama, and she let fly at those responsible for spreading the rumours.
The messages to her “haters”, Jessi claims she’ll be
poppin’ a glock in your mouth and makin’ a brain slushie” and tells them all to “suck her nonexistent p…s. Suck it and get AIDS and die
While barely passing the 100,000 mark, it was enough to attract the troublemakers on a website notorious for pranks, 4chan.
One 4chan troller – net users who specialise in baiting victims – decided to take up the cause of making life hell for Jessi and her family.
First step was to pose as a police officer and ring her mother, Dianne, claiming that the man who was the target of her daughter’s “brain slushie” threat had disappeared. 4chan members are none too bright, because posing as an officer is a criminal act in most parts of the world, especially America.
From there, as Jessi’s internet fame spread, Anonymous and other users began posting her personal details on the net, including her phone number and home address.
They spammed her Facebook, Twitter and MySpace accounts and had pizzas sent to her house.
And then the trollers got their prize – 11-year-old Jessi Slaughter sobbing on YouTube and a her extremely net-unsavvy father’s attempts to threaten the stalkers, much to their delight.
“You dun goofed up” immediately became YouTube’s most popular post of the day, now pushing the two million views mark … and Jessi Slaughter’s family home is under siege.
Jessi herself is under a court order not to access the internet for at least three days.
There’s a criminal investigation into the video of Anonymous pretending to be a policeman.
If you want any more evidence that 4chan have gone to far, her mum has told of a “slew” of death threat phone calls to the family home.
She told Gawker
We’ve had many, many death threats. We’re afraid to leave the house. We’re afraid to go to bed. I wan’t my life back. I want my daughter’s life back.
It may be a good lesson for all families to take heed of what can happen when children start ‘playing’ in a cyber world. The family will face the consequences of their daughter’s foul mouth for some time yet.
Today, “Jessi Slaughter given PCP by her father” is a trending topic on Google and all the popular social networks.
Needless to say, it looks like yet another hoax.
And finally, the trollers will be proud of their piece de resistance.
The latest internet rumour trending up the charts? “Jessi Slaughter has killed herself” – an “AP story” as seen on Tumblr and linking to a tired viral video of a Russian singer.
I can’t decide what is saddest in this whole saga. The fact that an 11-year-old girl is the victim of malicious gossip of a sexual nature, the fact that the 11 year old girl has such a foul mouth, or that idiots like 4chan find so much delight in making other peoples life a misery, all in the name of fun.

uh yeah, you missed the part where the real problem is that the retarded parents let their children loose in the middle of the adult’s playground. She should be in Child Protective Service’s custody, her retard father should be in jail, and you should be back at McDonalds where you belong, as you’ve apparantly missed the primary point of the entire story. Goes to show that parrots can sound intelligent, but that’s not the same as actually being intelligent.
