So they said on the news this morning that they are combing social media sites to find the person(s) who bullied her.

But, I find it unbelievable that people are so skeptical about the investigating saying she showed her boobs on her own will. What they do not realize is that distributing the photo is illegal.

That's what is getting this case more nortority. The fact that she posted her story on YouTube and the criminal aspects of it.

Okay so not to derail the thread anymore but let me just get this right here...

I. Can't have an opinion about what .I. Would do with .MY. Own kids. But .YOU. Can have an opinion of when exactly .I. Become an adult and what opinions .I. am allowed to have until then. Correct?
Do I get an opinion when I hit a certain age or how does that work?

Personally, I think your opinion is probably more relevant than that most adults in this instance. You are closer to the age of the victim, and obviously are sharing a lot more empathy with the victim.
Adults generally forget just how painful it can be to be a teenager.

They're legion for a reason man. I'd hate to be on their business end.

If it's true... It's sad for her... But the problem wasn't at school right? It was the pedophile that was stalking her, not the school kids that bullied her? (yes she got beaten up by the girlfriend of the guy she fucked... but I'm sorry, that's somewhat legit) so school has no responsibility here. Easy to say that they had to take on more reponsibility.
But still find it a weird story... since when do the cops show up if there is a pic of your breast going viral? The story doesn't make sense to me

great to see how hypocrite my fb friends are btw; half is posting on this story how sad it is that someone took her life, while the other half is bitching 'my train got delayed because some asshole had to jump in front of the train'

WTF is with this "if it's true?" bullshit -- the girl was bullied and she killed herself as a result.

Also, once again a non-Canadian commenting on how the RCMP conduct their investigations. In a small town, they would go to the house (maybe not a 4 am...she may have been exaggerating that point) but they would go and let the girl's parents know this happening ASAP as a minor is involved. Circulation of a minors breasts in this country is ILLEGAL.

Thanks Jerry, I've been looking for that story.

I saw one that did mention the name, but I'm not going to post that one due to it not being substantiated yet.

If you watched the original video, it's rather clear that she was bullied by kids at school too.

And somewhat legit? No. Hell no.

I hadn't heard of Amanda Todd, but saw my daughter had her name written across her wrist, when I questioned her about it, she explained all the pupils in her school had done the same thing as a mark of remembrance and to discourage Bullying.

The whole thing was so Tragic.

Pretty much all of it in a nutshell... with the exception of 'fuked far beyond random pizzas delivered'... where the Hell did THAT come from?... roll

*12year old* Girl flashes on cam then later gets a facebook msg saying to do a show or all friends get the pics.
- Pics were sent to her friends/family.
- She got bullied in school over them, people telling her to kill self.
- Guy uses her for sex when he has a gf.
- She moves around a bit, story follows her, tried suicide but fails.
- Makes 10 mins youtube video telling whole story.
- Killed herself at 15, story goes viral, internets justice demanded (cause no-one gives a fuk about anything till they're awared and it's normally too late).
- ******* blackmailer is found.
- If him then his life is probably fuked far beyond random pizzas delivered, his jobs listed and I'm sure there's jailtime for blackmailing children and possession of child ******


Jailtime?... we can only hope so... hmm

Just based on how the system works up here. If he does serve any time, it would only be a couple years or so.

It's a sad state of affairs when pedophiles and child murders get less jail time, on average, then drug dealers and fraudsters.

If ever a case for vigilante justice could be made, this might be it.
