The Cliff Notes on Jessie Slaughter
Here we are swooshing along on the techno highway, with things trending up and down so fast the computer cows in the PC pastures turn into blurry chips. Until something like Jessie Slaughter (not her real name) comes along. Jessie Slaughter is an eleven-year-old with a web-cam, a foul mouth and an attitude. In one video we see Jessie provocatively dressed in a zebra top with a peek-a-boo bra ranting about her “haters” and how people are jealous because she is “perfect” and continues the expletive filled video, at one point threatening her “haters with, “I’ll pop a glock in your mouth, and make a brain slushie.” WTH?
It all started on a Tweenster celebrity website called “Sticky Drama” supposedly written and viewed by the Tween set. It was there that little Jessie got into some sticky drama of her own and that’s when the cyber-bullying began. At some point Jessie posted a video to YouTube and called out her haters and that’s when the trolls multiplied like gremlins. Someone found and posted Jessie’s real name, address, sent pizzas to her home, there were prank phone calls, death threats and finally her parents got involved.
And while the drum beat of cyber threats, of predators and bullying gets beaten so loud and often we sometimes tune it out, Jessie Slaughter reminds me of why parents need to monitor their child’s use of the Internet. I mean really we’ve all seen those bozos on the Dateline “To Catch A Predator” series.

I think the American media is making her and her family look far too innocent, I mean she has many videos on Youtube attacking people she says ‘bring on the hate’ so many times. I don’t support cyber bullying but this girl is just making herself an open target. Her Father goes on insulting them all, swearing saying how he back traced it and that everyone was going to be arrested, this generally makes them happy. The Authorities won’t understand how to deal with these people unless they now what there capable off they just continued bullying her when her Father threatened them because there’s no way they can be arrested, most off them are from other countries and hide behind fake IP addresses.
Don’t mistake this comment for support, cyber bullying is wrong. But the internet is somewhat uncontrollable in today’s world, with the growing number of people using it and the VERY FAST advancement of computer technology, there will be computers which out run anything we’ve ever seen by 2025, I think the authorities should control the internet now before it gets to bad then the authorities will find themselves ‘locked out’ off the internet.
I agree with Tom. The media has distorted this story to make her sound a little more innocent than she is. In her videos she described her (probably imaginary) trysts with other young girls and her (probably, hopefully imaginary) sexual relations with Dahvie Vanity from the band Blood on the Dance Floor. She also posted suggestive photos of herself on one of the websites she frequented.
In a way I think she was lucky. She is now getting counseling that she probably needed way before the cyber bullying ever started. And lets be realistic, people on 4chan were a big contributor to the cyber-bullying. You want to find porn of the child or tentacle rape variety? 4chan is a pretty good bet. A lot of creepy, creepy people frequent 4chan. Even ignoring 4chan, the kinds of things she was doing tend to attract child molesters. In a manner of speaking, she was lucky that the cyber bullying forced her parents to realize what she had been up to before she ended up being raped and/or killed.
To be clear though, I’m not saying she deserved it. I’m just saying that her choices (and her parents’ choice to let her use the internet unmonitored) could have led to things that could have been a lot worse.
If her parents saw what she was saying in these videos, why don’t they yell at HER rather than the people posting the comments? She was asking for it by the language in her videos…
Wow, these commenters sort of prove the point, don’t they? Why are so people so angered and threatened by a silly kid saying silly, provocative, even hateful things? Ignore her. Done.
Evidentally the cousenoling failed miserably. Her latest video showed that nothing’s changed. Saying “I’m back b****es! You can’t stop me.” was not a good idea. She goes on saying she’s starting a clothing line I hope not! What has she done besides show how t fail at parenting?
