Disgusting twitter trend, what more can I do?

There is a 'trend' tonight, a photo is going around of a young women having sex with a dog. The problem is a 15 year old local girl has been named as the person in the photo and her name is trending, it's horrific

I have been to the police and they said they can't do anything until the family report it. I have emailed twitter. I have emailed the girls school to look out for her

This little girl is being demonised all over twitter, her full name and town. If she knows what the hell will she be going through

What more can I do

Some people think it funny to post "comical" pictures and tag people they know. The pictures are not actually of this girl, that is part of the joke. Why on earth would you think it would be her Mini?

That poor girl will be devastated.

Blimey.

IAmBooyhoo · 02/05/2012 00:08

i've reported too.

bogeyface · 02/05/2012 00:09

If everyone on Twitter here tweeted against it then surely it will be picked up? It wont trend for sure, but atleast we will be standing up for her?

Empusa · 02/05/2012 00:10

Shock Mentioning her name?! Seriously?!

noncuro · 02/05/2012 00:10

Some people genuinely astonish me.

Columbia999 · 02/05/2012 00:11

If people retweeted in support it would just fuel it even more

It's trending and there are tweets telling her to kill herself.
Vile beyond words.

Empusa · 02/05/2012 00:19

Unfortunately nowadays bullying can easily go global :( I don't think there is a way of stopping this, the only hope is that people will get bored of it and forget.

Sookeh · 02/05/2012 00:19

I know fuck all about twitter but how is this being allowed to "trend"?

Disgraceful

Empusa · 02/05/2012 00:22

I really hope they find who started this and punish them somehow

AmberLeaf · 02/05/2012 00:22

Disgusting.

Am Shock that someone has just posted her name on here.

piprabbit · 02/05/2012 00:23

It might be worth reporting it to CEOP - especially if you know the child.

IAmBooyhoo · 02/05/2012 00:25

why is thatisall post still there. come on MNHQ, this is identifying the name and location of a child!!

Janni · 02/05/2012 00:30

Definitely report to CEOP and Twitter. The more people who do this the better. And please do not name names on other sites such as MN!

I don't personally know the child, I have teens who know of her

It's not a big town, everyone knows of everyone else. We know her school and have emailed them so they can protect and help her through it and let her parents know in case she hasn't and is dealing with it alone. We tried the local police but they weren't interested

I'm just so scared for her, what will this do to her

The school can let the parents know, not that we have let them know

oh shit no I didn't mean to do that. So sorry guys, its all over the internet already I didn't think

piprabbit · 02/05/2012 00:33

Please report to CEOP as well as twitter.
ceop.police.uk/safety-centre/. It's what they are set up to deal with. It seems you already have a lot of information that would help them track down the bullies.

bogeyface · 02/05/2012 00:34

Do you know if she even knows what?

My worst thought was that she would be happily tucked up in bed and get to school to ....well.....:(
