These Two Little Bitches Need To Do Hard Time!

Especially the 14 year old.  While I think that the whole “bullying” thing is over rated, in this case it is not. A 12 year old and a 14 year old not only bullied some other little girl to the point where she committed suicide, they BRAGGED ABOUT IT AFTER SHE DIED.

I have no sympathy for these little bitches, children or not.

From CNN:

Winter Haven, Florida (CNN) — The attorney for a 14-year-old Florida girl charged with aggravated stalking that allegedly led to the suicide of a 12-year-old classmate told CNN that her client isn’t responsible for a controversial Facebook post that led to the suspect’s arrest.

Police on Monday arrested two girls, ages 14 and 12, in connection with the death of Rebecca Sedwick, who jumped from the top of an abandoned concrete plant last month.

Authorities said the 14-year-old girl was Rebecca’s chief tormenter, and the girl posted a taunting message Saturday on the Internet about what had happened.

“Yes IK I bullied REBECCA nd she killed her self but IDGAF,” the Facebook post read. Grady Judd, sheriff of Polk County, Florida, said the online vernacular meant “I don’t give a (expletive).”

You  really can’t deny you posted the message on Facebook dumbass, they can tell it was you.  Apparently the 14 year old was jealous of the TWELVE YEAR OLD about a boy they had both “dated” or liked.  Really? I 14 year old drives a 12 year old to suicide and then BRAGS about it? Welcome to America 2013. I am just so angered by this story for more reasons than I could list. Not to mention none of the bullies parents seem to get it.

After the Facebook post Saturday, police contacted the suspects and their parents and asked them to come in, according to DeMichael, who advised her client not to do so.

Judd said his office acted after the taunting post.

“She forced this arrest,” Judd said of the 14-year-old’s alleged decision to post the message. He said investigators don’t believe her Facebook account was compromised.

Judd sent detectives to arrest her and a 12-year-old friend at their homes.

They were booked Monday, and the 12-year-old was released to her parents, Judd said.

The 14-year-old made her first court appearance Tuesday and was being kept at a juvenile detention facility.

Friends have a falling out

According to Judd, the girl was upset that Rebecca had once dated her current boyfriend and began bullying and harassing her more than a year ago when they were both students at a Florida middle school.

In addition to sending harassing messages over the Internet, the girl physically attacked Rebecca at least once, Judd said. She also recruited the girl’s former best friend — the 12-year-old charged Monday — to bully her, Judd said.

DeMichael disputed there was any harassment or fight. She said the 14-year-old and Rebecca did have a falling out over the boy, and there was some “back and forth” at school between the former friends, but the girl never threatened Rebecca.

“She was actually upset at what happened to the victim,” DeMichael said.

‘I’m jumping’

Among the online messages that drove Rebecca to jump to her death were, “You should die” and “why don’t you go kill yourself?” Judd said.

The night before Rebecca killed herself, authorities say, she messaged a boy she had befriended online, writing, “I’m jumping. I can’t take it anymore.”

Judd, clearly upset about the incident, expressed frustration that neither girl’s parents were willing to bring them in for questioning. He said he was astonished to find out that the 14-year-old in the case was still being allowed to post to the Internet after what had happened.

He said he would charge the child’s parents if he could, but said investigators were aware of no “obvious charges” against them.

This is just beyond the pale…

    I’m really glad you covered this story, Tamara. These are the faces of REAL bullies and bullying, not a bunch of over-privileged petty grown women snarking on each other.

    I was bullied mercilessly in middle school and I still don’t even know or understand why (all I can think of is that I was extremely quiet and nerdy). It is relentless, cruel, downright savage. It ruins every day of your life and makes you hate yourself. I had a bottle of piss thrown at me while walking home–and I knew that parents were obviously in the car doing nothing. The main feeling I was left with was– how did these kids get this way and how can their parents sit back and say nothing? And don’t tell me that parents don’t know what these kids are up to. These kids are out for blood and their parents need to put a leash on them and monitor their behavior more closely, take them to a school therapist, force them to apologize, take them to anger management classes, whatever it takes to prevent other people’s children from being destroyed by their viciousness. I wish the parents would be charged as well– and I hope both girls, ESPECIALLY that rabid 14 year old, are severely punished for this. Facebook needs to block people like this, especially when posting violent or harmful things on a minor’s page, and prevent them from abusing social media and using it as yet another method to torment the subject of their merciless bullying. This is disgusting… I truly feel for the family of the victim.

    One of the parents was saying his daugher would never do anything like that. Shows how much he knows. As a parent I would be so ashamed of my kid and myself, that you wouldn’t even think of trying to offer excuses. I would be so busy aplologizing to that child’s parents for what my kid did. You called it, these girls are terrible, vile human beings.

    These girls are too young to be dating, or have Facebook pages imo. We allow children to live as adults, minus the personal responsibilty. I was bullied by a girl in high school who’s parents divorced and so she took it out on me. If we’d had Facebook I can only imagine how bad it woulda been for me, the worst she could do was gossip about me over the phone and isolate me at school. But at home she couldn’t get to me, so I just ended up hating school and escaping the torment completely after graduation.

    Fucking Florida, AGAIN. Shit HAPPENS down there! This 14 year old seems without conscience. To systematically bully someone for a year and a half and NGAF (that’s internet vernacular for “not give a fuck”) when her victim, a TWELVE YEAR OLD, jumps off a building – what is that?! Sociopathi, in my book. She’s a danger to society.

    I can’t believe the parents don’t check their kids FB to see what they’re posting. 12 and (not so much) 14 are too young to spend time like that on the internet. And why didn’t ANYONE in this whole mess report something? Anything?

    On the flip side, as the mother of a 12 year old, I can’t imagine this going on for a year and not knowing something was wrong with my child. In fact, my 12 year old was having trouble adjusting to entering Junior High. I noticed the dramatic mood swings and called the school guidance counselor. They’ve seen each other 4/5 times and things are SO much better now. So if my child was having mood swings because of this, imagine this poor girl? She had to have shown signs?

    Also, do girls really “date” at 12? Lord, I’m getting old.

    PS @Alessa – I was bullied throughout grammar school – easy target cuz I was embarassingly shy and cried easily. But, yes, I hated school and was scared to go every day. The worst of the bullies was a girl, Cheryl. She acted tough, and cool, like nothing bothered her. Turned out, the father beat the shit out of her with his belt on a regular basis. One has to wonder how these children become bullies; they’re usually very insecure.

      Awww… I’m sorry to hear you went through the same thing. I was also EXTREMELY, painfully shy and cried easily…I think that’s what feeds bullies, seeing the visceral pain on someone else’s face and knowing they’re causing hurt and damage. I agree with you wholeheartedly–this is what happens when you expect 12 and 14 year olds (who, by the way, are nowhere near having fully formed brains even though they really think they do) live in adult worlds of dating and surfing the internet and threats (not that that’s an adult thing to do–it’s just not something you’re supposed to see a child doing).

      Someone stated that the deceased girl’s parents should have known. Well, mine knew something terrible was going on. I was miserable, withdrawn, self-critical, and extremely depressed. They suspected I was being bullied and tried many, many times to get me to talk about it but I refused–I didn’t want them to go to my school and cause trouble, exposing me to more ridicule and threats. Parents CAN sense these things in their child. That’s why it’s hard for me to believe that the parents of these two bullies didn’t notice how hateful, aggressive, and hostile their daughters were. As a parent, you are responsible for monitoring and controlling your child until they’re of age. Kids having an active presence on the internet, having cell phones with the ability to call anyone, credit cards, dating and giving bjs at 12… NONE of this should be happening if you are a responsible parent. You are not your kids’ friend. This is what happens when you treat them like an intellectual equal and literally and figuratively let them get away with murder.

      HunteMLisa – the victim’s mom did know something was going on. Rebecca’s mom worked pretty quickly to get her help, and even took her out of public school and homeschooled her. I believe that Rebecca went back to a different public school where she was getting along fine – but the Internet abusers followed her, while she was being homeschooled and at the new school. Rebecca didn’t tell her mom about that, although her mother did ask. The long-term cyberstalking is one of the reasons the police chief cited for moving so quickly to charge the bullies. The chief is also trying to find some charges applicable to the bullies’ parents, saying “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”.

        If parents can be arrested for their child not going to school, there should be some kind of law out there to be able to hold the bully’s parents to some accountability. I agree with Tamara, these 2 little bitches need to do some hard time.

        I’m sure many studies show that do bullies are products of their environments, starting in the home and branching out.

          Look I can be a total bitch online. But if one of you dumb fucks lets me drive you to suicide I would feel TERRIBLE. I would not then go online and say YAY I made TC jump off a tower and kill herself IDAF!

          This is the same problem I have with Housewife hating ADULTS. Their entire timelines are devoted to mocking some housewife moron. Sometimes they even come here and say they have forwarded my blog about whoever to show we all hate them. That is very weird to me. I could give two shits about most of these people. I am very defensive about a handful I have had correspondence with when they were going through hard times and have been respectful.

          This blog isn’t about hating anyone. This is why I get so pressed at some of the vitriol. It’s okay to think they are idiots. They are on a show. It’s fine to laugh at their poor decisions. But when your vitrtiol causes you to eviscerate someone on twitter You are sociopathic. I’m sorry. The worst thing I have ever said about a HW is that Jac Laurita is a shitty mother. She chose to put that on TV. It’s a fact. I’ve never had the inclination to tweet her personally. That would be crazy.

          I understand some autism advocates doing that. Because….OMG she is a terrible “advocate”. Someone really needs to tell her to take a seat from a position of authority on the subject.

          But this new thing here with the VITRIOL to Caroline. I’d like to introduce you to another board “SH” they love to hang her out to dry and spew defamatory crap. If you hate Melissa you can go to “FH” where they spew defamatory crap.

          I don’t want this place to be SOFA KING NEGATIVE. I like someone one week and rag on them the next because of something they did on camera. I am not out to make anyone look bad.. except maybe that one stupid bagel head that keeps dragging us into court.

          So if you are gleefully posting about someone woman who has raised her kids into adult hood and did not particularly want to be on TV but did it for her kids, because they did. Because you don’t like the way her breasts look or you think she is an “old Hag” this is not the place for you.

          There are plenty of places for the asshole to spew venom. THIS IS NOT THAT PLACE.

          Sure we can talk about long boobs and lack of proper undergarments, and ridiculous behavior on the show and how this one are that one did something retarded. That’s fine.

          But ESPECIALLY if you are a first time poster, I am not letting you comment here if your first post is a specific comment about someone’s looks. I’ve pointed out MANY hate blogs for you to go to. THIS IS NOT ONE.

          That is all.

      1) I was bullied rentlessly for choosing the back seat of the bus. That was where Andrea sat. I was not having it

      So she came with a hoard of friends and her brother to beat my ass. It was the only fight I have ever been in. I slung her over on her back and should have kept punching her but I felt like, I won and why continue this shit?

      her brother eventually dragged her home.

      riding the bus home in middle school was HORRIBLE. I would sit in that back seat as soon as I could get it.

      Andrea was a cuntbag. As an adult looking back I wish I would have hurt her more.

    TT i was a goofy looking boy with buddy holly type glasses who moved all the time and was always the new kid in school. I had lots of bullies go after me and i did learn to fight. Too much though. I think making parents responsible for their kids is better than spreading more violence into the school. If your dog bites somebody you get in trouble. If you cant control your kid something should be done. I dont know what but something.

    i won’t say my son was bullied, but there was this one boy who lshed out at everyone he could. he had no mother and a terrible homelife with his father. my son is a straight a student and an athlete, he is very quiet though and can be shy at times. on the bus one day this kid sucker punched my son when he had his ear buds in listening to music. my son turned on him and knocked the kid back over the bus seat. he put his buds back in and the kid did it again, this time causing my son to have a tooth go through his lip. my son again went at the kid and did not stop until he had landed an execptional opunch to the kids throat like i taught him. then this boy and his friend started in on a girl who my son had a crush on, her brother and my son went at both of them. it was a sub driver on a borrowed bus so no camera avaible. they interviewed all the kids in that area of the bus and they all supported my son and this brother. their stories though made it appear that my son and the brother weren’t as agressive as they actually were. the principle tried to bust my son and the brother for this as well as the other 2 who as very nasty little creatures. the mom of the brother and i made our case that the driver kept driving and didn’t make any effort, not even stopping the bus our yelling while these assaults were going on and we offered have attornys come in with all of us for a meeting. those boys have a “iep” which means they are “special ed” due to reading poorly or somehting and could not be punished in the same manner as other kids. they ended up suspending those 2 boys for 1 day each and then making them ride the short bus for the rest of the year and into the next. this kid who started it is a lost soul, he was buisted in 6th grade for selling pot, he has also been found by cps to be abused. i know those girls weren’t like this boy at all but i thiknnk sometimes the kids who are so nasty are craving attention and boundaries. i feel so bad for the young girls familya nd there is only so much a child can take and as parents we try so hard to do the right thing. my heart aches for all involved. one day hopefully these girls will see the damage they ahve done and will ask for forgiveness.

Kids expect the world to be handed to them on a silver platter without earning it or working for it.

    I never think kids realize what they have done until they are punished. Their parents should be ashamed of trying to cover for them. I’m sure it is vee hard to realize that your own child is so callous and demented. Own it. Apologize and be sincere on your part. But let your child pay the price for being hateful. If I’m ever in that situation I hope and pray that I will be that true to myself and my child. What will my child learn if I make excuses for his wrongful behavior and action?!? I want nothing more than to raise a more compassionate child who does not give in to the drama and hate of others but instead uplifts and supports those who are tormented. God forbid if my child is a bully. I hope I never make excuses for their rotten behavior !!!!!!!

      There is an entire other spectrum of life of these youngsters (toddler to early 30’s) that is not being dissected, but is ever so important in trying to understand what the hell is going on nowdays……….clearly, from so many stories here, bullying has been going on forever.
      Today, kids have incredible exposure to violence, selfishness, narcissism, immediate feedback, anonymity via internet, way-too-much sex and sexuality, and incredibly self-centered and arrogant public figures. How easy to type words of hate to someone on the internet? To text. Words…….without even seeing how badly it hurts another by the look in their eyes, the shame in their faces. We are teaching self-centeredness, self-agrandisement, apathy toward other HUMAN BEINGS simply by buying into this little world of twitter, TV shows, facebook, all the social media and other outlets that continue to put so much emphasis on (and yes, glorify), outrageous behavior, actions and words.
      What happened to LOCAL community and love of children for being children? Church and love of God? (i don’t go to church, but am very spiritual). How about a HIGHER POWER (way above Kanye, Kim, hollywood, the cool kid, the wealthy neighbor) that is loving and empathetic. How about helping someone beyond the “little i” ? These are the influences our kids have. The drive for money and power and the rage of thinking the world/society somehow “OWES YOU”?

      Many influences in all of this and i am so sad for it all. i was not bullied, although i recall defending a friend or two against bullies (and i can be a bitch so was pretty good at telling someone to STFU), but my child was bullied to the point of homeschool by 4th grade.
      Funny, i have been following Big Brother Australia. These 20-something year olds seem, for most part immature and naive compared to US counter parts……..interesting…boring at times, yet………refreshing!!! The guys cry, the girls cry. They sometimes seem so young compared to our kids same age………and yet…………such sweet innocence and open hearts. Think i want my daughter to go to college there just for a breathe of fresh air!!!

          I’m curious Jada-can you make comparisons of the young people both countries? Do you live in US? That is the best way to understand what shits alot of our Gen X and Y. Are there NO differences at all, meaning that Big BrotherAustralia did an incredible job of choosing-OR controlling their behavior/possibly editing, also. Or is it that BB USA just let those young, self-centered, bigoted houseguests run too far without discipline? Is the comparison of BB houses a good reflection on different cultural values or general accepted behaviors?

          I think we all have discussed bullying and that it HAS been going on forever, just that the format and intensity are much worse. So do you also see such intensive problems in Australia? How many young people commit suicide in australia for similar situations?

          TT do you have any #’s on our country suicides in response to bullying over the recent years? I mean, this has made alot of headlines lately. And, yet again, some of the causes may be related to the breakup of families.
          Cause or effect?

      I very clearly remember 6th grade. And I am 41, so 6th grade was nearly 30 years ago. Both being the mean girl and having the mean girls turn on you. Looking back now it was like we each took turns being cruel and then getting the tables turned on us. Back then is was gossip, getting up from the lunch table and walking away when that days target sat down, embarrassing the person in the most personal and humiliating ways, leaving nasty notes about how they should leave school, everyone hates them, they have no friends. That they were losers, fat, ugly, stupid. Even their parents don’t like them. It was so bad I remember we had an assembly for the girls in our grade, and there were only like 36 girls.

      I have no doubt if all the technology we have to today existed back then we would be doing the same shit these kids today are doing.
      I think some things you can blame on the parents, like kids misbehaving in restaurants, I have a 4 year old, we like to eat out, she knows the rules. She is quite, sits in her seat, napkin on lap etc…
      Growing up my mom was a stay at home mom, I went to a small private school were there were only 80 kids in my whole class, my parents knew every parent of my friends. We had diner together every night, we had rules, consequences and it still did not keep us from being mean and horrible little shits to each other.

      My friend is a head master of a school age pre-K to 8th grade.
      Girls are the worst and the worst grade seems to be 6th grade, so that awesome age of 12-13. In his 20+ years of being head of school, 6th grade girls are by far the worst.

      I don’t think it is happening more, I think we just hear about it more.

    The average parent has so much going on in their own lives that they allow the computers, cell phones, tablets, etc. to act as sitters. Many figure, the kid is home, not doing drugs or drinking so they must be ok. While at the same time the kid is basically pushing some weaker or loner kid off a cliff via social media.

    This problem is so far out of control I fear there is no immediate solution, accept to make a few examples of the perpetrators. Off with the fingers and tongues!!!!

    So, in keeping with the people and issues that our young people are being exposed to and, often, trying to emulate, i have a short list of famous people who i think are good role models (yet, human, so imperfect):
    1. Ellen Degeneres***!!!!
    2. Oprah
    3. Angelina Jolie (OK, i know the team Jen is upset about the affair, and i did not like that, but this woman is very loving toward so many less fortunate, keeps her mouth shut despite the ability to broadcast and judge, and she puts her money and heart where her mouth is……for less fortunate)
    4. Carrie Fischer, Catherine Zeta-Jones(sp?) and, yes, Amanda Bynes for opening a forum, albeit not intentionally, into how extreme behavior can be caused by mental illness that needs attention and help. Amanda’s outrageous tweets and behavior were a scream for help and thank God she is getting it. The child star before this was pure and sweet. How is it that “normal” people display the same behaviors can be shameless and proud of spewing such hatred?
    5. Ashton Kutcher for telling kids “it takes hard work– just do it!”
    6. Pink for showing how celebrity will not stifle her continued growth as a woman, an artist and, especially a mom and wife. She is a straight-shooter, but does not shoot down others unless they are haters.

    Too many people, too often, just sit back and allow hatred to spew. Why don’t we have the balls to call out the horrible role models, and to try to become good role models of simple values and loving intentions? Different opinions, for sure, but what happened to standing up against all which is dangerous or crazy or hateful or mean? What happened to teaching empathy?

    It’s not so simple as to just blame the parents……….easy, yes, but sometimes apples fall from orange trees. By allowing ourselves to become so involved in “what’s out there” and by showing our kids that we think words don’t really matter, we ARE teaching ALL kids that it is OK. And, oh yea, “it takes a village to raise a child”…..so lack of choosing their village is a choice for letting another village raise them. It can be a crazy busy and stressful and lonely world out there for single parents, i know, but this does not take away from the enormous responsibility that comes with parenthood.

    sorry for the run-on……..just feeling so sad for the kids who hurt for no reason of their choosing!!

      Our school system here has adapted the phrase “One Morgan” based on the whole takes a village reasoning. The teachers from the high school take interest in the middle school children and down. We are a relatively small community that pitches in and gets the job done when needed.

    I dont have kids, and I hate that the few times i do go out and then have to deal with running, screaming, food throwing kids in resturants and stores. And their parents act like *how cute* and get pissy if you ask them to *control your kid* or leave. I think if your kid breaks the law both kid and parent should do 30days in a segregated cell together. If parent has jobs and important stuff *oh well* so do the people jr terrorizes. What incentive is there now for parents to keep kids good? None, because all will be swept under a carpet

      When I went to Trader Joes last week there were three East Cobb blonde haired, blue eyed girls 6-8 years old. with one adult. The girls were ringing the crap out of the bell they use to call for assistance and throwing items from the counters near the checkout aisle at each other. All of that would have been par for the course but they were wearing GIRL SCOUT SASHES! It was all I could do not to ask which of the small number of badges they had earned was for rude and obnoxious behavior in public.

        In such cases as that, TT, i totally believe in subtle but very effective public shaming…………..just by a simple stop and stare until they become uncomfortable and quit. Several years ago, in Quebec City, i was meeting my plump child in the town. As she was rushing to show me something she was excited about, i noted three school boys mocking her . (tears on that one) I did not want her to see this at all, such a cruel act. All i did was put fists on my waist and stare at them…………willing them to look at me…………..you better believe they did……………that was all it took to embarrass them right back and stop that mean behavior. She never saw. I was the one with the tears-glad to take them off of her kind heart!

      The incentive to keep kids “good ” for me is nothing to do with anything “out there”, but, rather, a love for my child and a deep desire that she be a positive light in her little world; that she be loving, giving, caring, and be HAPPY from within. As it is true that you reap what you sow, what you put out there in the universe is what you get back, inside.

      Society’s judgements are so far warped that it doesn’t serve, most times, to worry about what someone else thinks. (easy to say, not always so easy to do- look at how our society places such value on what people look like, not who they are. Women kill themselves in the quest to be deemed worthy in our society) A little more kindness and acceptance, alot more teaching by caring examples. And then there is also the notion that WAY too many people are popping out babies with no idea about how to proceed being a parent………….parental love, for me, is something so strong and profound and way above love for mate or your own parents. But that is not to say that being a parent at all gives one that love that drives you to be better, to do better, to try harder, to aspire to teach them how to give rather than take of this world. We need a new chapter on parenting in this new millenium. All the rules and values have markedly changed for most. Our kids are scared, confused and messed up!!! (translates narcissistic)

    I dont live in the U.S. I live in Canada so I dont know about your laws there, but here in Canada they pretty much made it impossible for parents to discipline their children, and the children know it, schools and teachers arent allowed to discipline either.. My friends 12 year old went to a neighbors house that was under construction and smashed every window out of the house with rocks, climbed through the window, got ahold of a bucket of paint and thrashed the place.. His father found out, dragged him into the house with the intention of giving him an old fashioned beating.. And out of the kids mouth comes “you touch me Im calling CPS” The kids even know they are protected and use it to the fullest.

    First of all, my child wont be going on facebook, twitter or any other of that crap, its brain poison as far as Im concerned. If I found out she was bullying she would be spending every moment of her free time volunteering for others until she learned what compassion is.. And if she was getting bullied, Id be visting the parents of the one thats bullying ONCE! The second time Id be knocking them out, sorry but nobody is going to be putting my child in danger like the child in this story.. The whole problem nowadays is the government taking away parents rights and the parents thinking their children are angels and not making them accountable for what they do..

    Sorry for the rant, but this is so maddening to me, all I can think about is how badly that child felt to do what she did!

      Kemper, both touching and SCARY…..glad to hear there is another warrior out there! And while we have all of these HUGE anti-bullying campaigns, maybe we should re-evaluate what works. Instead of the “don’t do this”, maybe we should collectively say: “Do only this”. Maybe the nice kids should get the 15 minutes of fame instead of the mean ones. Maybe facebook needs to change policies……….even have a system for reporting accounts that spew hatred to minors. Twitter ought to be for 21 and over only, and even then, i agree, to me it is a waste of time and words. I am grateful that my child has no interest in that sort of social media lifestyle. Hell, i refuse to get a smartphone. Happy with my little flip phone for work and interpersonal (as opposed to impersonal) communications. Not to knock those adults who use these……….i just am not interested in hearing everyone’s every thought about everything….all things in moderation.

        so sad that when you hear of a bullying situation often the bully was also bullied. like the child abuse thing. an child abuser was often abused as a child as well. breaks my heart. tho it seems to me that a sociopath is usually born and not made, and if the 14 yr old really meant she didn’t care (rather than just mouthing off) she’s probably a sociopath. cold as ice.

          They said the 14 year old had no emotion to getting arrested.

          I was terrified of my mother. As a teenager it did not stop me. I knew that she loved me but I was TERRIFIED of what she would do when I was caught misbehaving. I have no idea what I thought she would do…. although she was NOT afraid of CPS lol. and would wallop on me occaisionally, at that time I had a huge fear of getting in trouble in any way. Ironically I ALWAYS get in trouble in my teaching job and I would FREAK OUT. afterwards. And my co workers who went through the same thing, but were younger could care less.

    What the heck is up with the people of Florida?

    I don’t wish these girls no harm, just that poetic justice steps in and evens the score. I would love to see these girls in a real tough world they themselves help create with their meanness…and parents; we have got to get our kids off the net and into enjoying life outside of this web of internet usage. Its taken too many people lives away from them. So help me if that was my kid, every niece sister and girlfriend I had would be waiting on them bitches every day after school.
