The Jessi Slaughter cyberbullying case revolved around an 11-year-old girl, nicknamed Jessi Slaughter, whose profanity-laden video postings became a viral hit via Stickam and YouTube. The initial videos resulted in an campaign of telephone and internet harassment against the girl, especially by members of the 4chan discussion board, which has been characterized by her family and the media as a case of cyberbullying. The harassment intensified after she posted a video that included her father insulting and threatening the bullies.

Reactions

Jessi Slaughter and her parents were subsequently interviewed on ABC's Good Morning America, after which the television audience was given advice on how to handle online bullying.
