Who is Cyber-Pranking Victim Jessi Slaughter?

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - An 11-year-old is now under police protection after she fell victim to cyber-pranking in what some say is another example of why parents need to monitor their children's activity on the Internet.

Urlesque.com , which reports on the Web, said the girl calls herself Jessi Slaughter and uploaded videos talking about how she was better than others on the Internet.

Slaughter placed videos on YouTube against the "haters." She also posted a tearful video, that featured her father in the background, threatening to report YouTube.

People trolling the Internet responded by attacking her, according to Gawker.com . Slaughter's videos spread to various sites and people started posting her real name, phone number, address and links to her social networking accounts. She got prank phone calls. There was also a report that someone wanted to send call girls to her address.

Videos featuring her dad's tirade, which featured lines like "You done goofed," made it worse as they became viral hits.

SFGate.com reported that Slaughter is now in a safe house after an investigation by the Marion County, Florida Sheriff's Office. A spokeswoman confirmed that the police are investigating a case with details that "match" the Jessi Slaughter case, but did not confirm the death threats.

Slaughter's mother Dianne Leonhardt gave an interview with MomLogic , where she described the drama that has beset her family. When asked about the videos she says "I haven't watched them. I can't be in the room 24/7. "

The blog Babble.com said this stands as a lesson to what can happen to children online. It also sends a warning to parents to know what their children are doing online.
