By Soumitra Mondal, Gaea News NetworkThursday, July 22, 2010
New York (GaeaTimes.com ) - Jessi Slaughter appeared in Good Morning America for an interview on her cyber bullying case. She appeared with her family in the show on July 22nd, 2010. She is one of the most controversial girls and latest victim of cyber bullying cases in the U.S.
Her real name is Jessica Leonhardt and she is only 11 year old. She used to post her videos on YouTube on which she started receiving hate comments and then she retaliated by cursing her haters and even her father popped in the video to admonish the people who were teasing Jessi Slaughter. Recently the video of Jessi Slaughter caught the attention of the Good Morning America crew and they invited her for the interview.
Jessica Leonhardt talked about the content of her videos uploaded in YouTube by her. Then the video was reblogged on 4chan and ebaumsworld. She used nick name Kerligirl13 in there. In this video she told a critic
pop a glock in your mouth and make a brain slushy
She also encouraged her critics to
go get AIDS and die.
She gained a lot of attention when her father also appeared on those videos threatening someone he’s trying to point out. Regarding the videos, Jessi Slaughter said in the interview,
It’s just, I had no words running through my mind. It was all done live and that was just a way to get out my anger. I think that’s completely wrong that people would taunt people to some degree that they would actually kill themselves over it. And that’s actually completely wrong and whoever is doing it should be locked away for a really long time.
In the interview Jessi Leonhardt pleaded for the online community to stop posting nasty comments.
If you don’t know about Good Morning America or GMA, it would be enough to say that this an American morning news and talk show that is broadcast on the ABC television network. It is broadcast from the Times Square Studios in Times Square, New York. It debuted on November 3, 1975.

Let me introduce myself,my name is carrie Miller and I am a 47 year old mother of two young daughters and an older son. I am writing in great concerns in regards to Jessica Leonhardt I only hope that I am contacting the proper people in regards to the show GMA did on the story of the cyber bulling. I am writing with great concerns about a very sexually explicit video that Jessica had released to the youtube station that your show is not even aware of prior to your shows airing, the person who posted this video stated that he got the video from another “private source” from another web site, the video was showing Jessica sitting on a bedroom floor in a Black bra and a Black pair of underwear,her face was heavily covered in make up!! and she was acting and talking sexually explicit, Jessica in the video stated that she will be making more of these videos to be released! the most heart sicking thing about this on top of Jessica’s behavior, in the back ground of the video you can hear a mans voice unseen by the cameras view,but it was quite clear that it seemed as though Jessica was being coached some what in the video by an adult! My oldest son was showing me the videos on this child and upon that we came across this horrifying video! The video was very shortly lived on youtube, the day that the video was posted it was immediately removed by the person who had posted it! On the comments left by the viewers of this video on youtube, Jessica was not getting bullied,rather there was great alarm and out rage from the viewers commenting that this video seemed to be more of child pornography in nature!there was allot of concern for this child in this sexual exploitation of this eleven year old girl! I was very upsetting to say the least! I don’t know what ales to do, I am only hoping that this will be further investigate and looked into.As a parent I just want to be sure that there is nothing more to this,I am only writing hoping that the proper Authorities can investigate these other very concerning and Alarming videos!! Again I hope that I have found the proper place to write and I hope this gets to the proper people who did the story on GMA there is definitely more that needs to be looked into then just cyber bulling! Sincerely a concerned mother,Carrie M.Miller Please e-mail me a forever4serenity@hotmail.com if you have any other questions. I only hope to be contacted with a response to the matter and if I did indeed write the proper location with GMA.Thank you so much. |
