Woman jailed for trolling HERSELF: 24-year-old bombarded her own Facebook page with fake abuse

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ed-family.html

Did she deserve a 20 month jail sentence for trolling herself or not?

Since the article points out she has mental health issues I think she should probably have been put into psychiatric care instead.

By the sounds of it she tried to frame her stepmother, so yep I think she deserves jail time.

As to her being mentally unwell, I think most criminals fall under that category.

Actually just noticed she's 24 and her husband is 57

Wow he must be older than her father, how strange.

She;s is from Par, the freak.

20 months does seem excessive, she must really have hated her stepmother :/

This woman needs psychiatric help not a prison sentence..

And why should she be sent to prison when muggers and burglars often escape custodial sentences after committing far more serious crimes.

I think there is a serious disconnect here as to just what crimes should be punishable by custodial sentences.

Breaking into an old persons home bearing them senseless is punishable by a suspended sentence and an ankle tag whereas trolling on the Internet is a six month prison sentence..???

It took them a year to work out the Facebook accounts had been created on her pc?

She tried to frame others AND wasted police time. She deserves the sentence

Yes she went Evil.

A prison sentence isn't going to help this woman, it'll most likely do the opposite. Psychiatric help would have been a better option.

This is my viewpoint....the woman is clearly in need of help.

How can they do this to such a lovely girl

:umm2:


For wasting police time I'd say she deserves the sentence.

That was my thought as well. Not sure this deserves a prison sentence though obviously it must have caused a bit of upset in the family. 20 months seems a bit extreme but I guess she will be out in 5.

How about if she's not mentally ill? How about if she put her family through a year-long campaign of mental abuse because she's just a vindictive bitch?

I don't think 20 months is excessive, she'll probably be out before Christmas and it might make similar idiots think twice.

In spite of all her problems I hear she just recently conquered Anorexia...lol

I agree

they actually jail people for trolling http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/smilies/umm2.gif

The internet is quickly becoming more regulated and I think that can only be a good thing. For too long it was an unregulated war zone of disgusting behaviour and I think making people accountable for what they post online is a very good thing.

I think mental illness is used too quickly as defense in a lot of cases tbh. Oh everyone, feel sorry for me, its not my fault, yadayadayada

No wonder hubbys 57 ,she want to think herself very lucky to have got one to have her ,beggars cant be choosers as they say

For trolling herself, no. For example if she'd made up completely fictional people for sympathy.

But for attempting to frame people... of course it should be considered a crime. It's defamation, for a start, and it can be really damaging both socially and financially for people. Not to mention the stress and frustration she's caused the people involved... and the strains she'll have put on other people's relationships. She could have caused serious harm.

It's bad enough when it's a minor thing like this - my partner had a run-in with a group of people on a "trollish" facebook page and THREE of them made fake accounts with her name and pictures and used them to post there... even using pictures of our daughter in profile pictures. It was nothing "serious", just childish crap, but it was still incredibly frustrating. They abandoned the accounts within a day or so but, of course, those accounts (with "I'm a ******", etc., all over the profile page) still obviously came up under facebook search with her picture attached to them, for months, because facebook was pathetically slow to remove them.

Something like what happened in the article would absolutely enrage me...

I think as someone said, where an offense isn't financially motivated (although of course they often are) there's an element of psychological problems at work in pretty much every case. So it shouldn't affect the verdict at all - but if charged, the criminal should receive psychological assessment and help as standard, whether they get a custodial sentence or not. Even easier to enforce if they do go to jail, really.
