Comments posted on Twitter by Britain's first youth police and crime commissioner are being investigated for possible criminal offences.

Paris Brown, 17, posted what could have been considered racist and anti-gay tweets from the ages of 14 to 16.

She was appointed to the £15,000-a-year post last week by Kent PCC Ann Barnes, who said she would stand by her.

Kent Police said it was investigating the circumstances to determine whether any offences had been committed.

The force said it had received on Monday a number of complaints about statements posted on social media.

Off to jail in cuffs, student who tweeted abuse about heart failure footballer Fabrice Muamba

27 March 2012

A student who posted a series of racist comments on Twitter following footballer Fabrice Muamba’s cardiac arrest has begun a prison sentence of 56 days.

Liam Stacey, 21, caused widespread revulsion by reacting to Muamba’s mid-game collapse by writing: ‘LOL [laughing out loud], **** Muamba. He’s dead!!! #haha.’ He responded to criticism of that message with vile racist tweets.

The messages were forwarded to the police by several members of the social network, including former England striker Stan Collymore, himself a victim of abuse on Twitter.

That should have been a warning to Twitter abusers, including Ms Brown, aged 15 - what you say can be held against you, now or in the future.....
