From the Article:
I did some more looking in to this off of other news sites, apparently this whole feud was started when, on one of Kathleen's birthdays, her family rented one of those inflatable bounce houses. These neighbors, the Petkovs, texted the family of the girl asking if their kids could come over and were infuriated that they didn't get an immediate reply. This is the supposed reason for their hate.
So far 4chan users have sent pizzas, escort services, cabs, Mormons, exterminators, Child protective services, ect... to these people. Also they've been doing their best to get the these people fired by tormenting their bosses.
I really have little sympathy for these people, but I do worry about their kids being exposed to this.
Really sometimes the power of the internet can be frightening.

| Fox Detroit reports that a 7-year old girl named Kathleen Edward became the subject of cruel taunts by her neighbors. Kathleen is dying of Huntington's Disease, a degenerative brain disorder which killed her mother at 24... I checked 4chan, and sure enough, they're quickly plotting vengeance. Someone posted the Petkov family's home address, phone number, a list of relatives and social network profiles. Some 4chan users are completely ambivalent, others are calling for the Petkovs' heads, and still others are praising the Petkovs for their epic troll (these folks are possibly being sarcastic). |
