Cyberbullying: StickyDrama and 4chan Are Bullying Playgrounds
As we blogged about a few days ago, Jessi Slaughter is an 11-year-old who endured extreme forms of cyberbullying as a result of YouTube videos that she posted online. Here’s some more information about the two Web sites linked to the case: StickyDrama and 4chan.
StickyDrama is a teen gossip site which Slaughter was frequently visiting. It is on this site where many of Slaughter’s bullies began to threaten her. Many people are unaware that StickyDrama is actually owned by a 31-year-old man who also owns Sticky-Noodz, a sexually explicit amateur pornography site which made news after the owner witnessed a sexual assault online, and then blogged about it, without reporting it to the police.
4chan is a website that allows users to anonymously post images and comments. The site is apparently credited with increasing the Slaughter case’s popularity, and is a breeding ground for cyberbullying.
As a result, parents should add StickyDrama and 4chan to their “watch list” and limit or restrict their children from accessing the sites.

I don't know if you are aware that this 4chan bullys are it again.
This time they are targeting a Toyota's web page, namely Toyota's Sponsafier2 contest that is supposed to take people's online design of a car painting and make it a real, sponsored car. After seeing the story on Good morning America I visited 4chan page after a few days out of curiosity, and noticed a post some someone that made a car with "trollface" image on it and gave a link
http://www.sponsafier.com/share/344125
and instructions how to vote for it over and over again, so it would get more votes than any other.
I checked Toyota's page again today and noticed that the "Trollcar" entry has gained over 30,000 votes in the last two weeks, and now is the top rated design. I mean, this can't be real people's votes, can they?
I think this is a deliberate scam that has the goal to promote 4chan and it's worst, especially after what I have seen on Good morning America show. As a concerned parent, I think we should not allow such a shame to happen again, laughing at our face.
I hope my little voice counts.
How come nobody's telling parents to watch out for their preteen kids making violent, sexually explicit camwhoring youtube videos?
Everyone's so quick to demonize everyone else without taking responsibility for their own actions and how they failed at raising their kids.
The blame in the Jessi Slaughter (whose real name is Leonhardt, by the way) case rests SOLELY ON HER PARENTS.
