Kathleen Edward, 9, Who Had Been Taunted on Facebook For Terminal Disease, Dies

This is like a prime fucking example of why the minimum age for Facebook is 13. Truly awful shit is so likely to happen to children. I mean, in my opinion, 13 is still too low (mainly because kids that age post utter braincell-killing-bullshit, and also, for some kids, seeing just how invasive people can be is very traumatizing to them).

People are making accounts for their dogs and their babies, I don't think anyone actually respects that minimal age rule.

There are assholes and invasive people everywhere. A kid with a disease doesn't need to be on facebook to get insulted, there's school for that.

The people harassing her weren't children, and she didn't have a facebook herself. It was a page made by their neighbour.
[QUOTE=HandyAmMi;34180621]I remember this girl. I don't think she was personally on Facebook. Some asshole neighbors were doing the taunting over Facebook towards her family.
"Edward’s neighbor Jennifer Petkov emerged as an uber-villain in the scenario, and it emerged that the woman- who was 33 at the time of the bullying- had posted images of the dying girl with a skull and crossbones to Facebook to anger her neighbors. Petkov had also taunted the family over the death of Edward’s mother, who also succumbed to Huntington’s at the age of 24. But what did Edward’s family do to so anger Petkov? Apparently they’d hosted a party with a bounce house in the front yard, and when Petkov texted to ask if her children could attend, Edward’s family did not reply quickly enough."
Calling this woman trash is too kind.

I won't say that she (the woman) deserves to die for this, but she doesn't deserve to live either.
After seeing the video, I wonder what would happen to that annoying blonde piece of shit's face if I ever see her.
These people were adults, people who were supposed intelligent and reasonable making fun of [B]terminally ill people destined to die[/B] because of some minor dispute.
I am just fucking appalled that I live in the same country, no, fuck that, the same [B]reality[/B] with these people. Just, 33 years old. Need I say more?
"HAHA! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!"
I don't think anyone is this insensitive.

Missed that part. But then how would the girl or parents even know about it....I'm a bit confused as to how Facebook even plays in relation to the girl dying. I mean there are always people who make fun of other people's illnesses, so what's the big news in this piece exactly?
That woman is just plain trash. What the heck is wrong with her? "Boohoo, nobody loves me! :(" ? Or "nobody pays attention to my nonsense"? It was a girl and also very ill. There's not a single point to mock about, even if there is a dispute. It would've been way more easy for both parts if she would've said "Okay, sorry, I did something wrong." - what's so hard about it? Requires strength, I guess.

I feel the same - but as a human.
