Two Oregon City High School girls has been suspended after posting malicious online comments about their classmates on myspace blogs.
According to KGW.com, more than 30 female students were targeted. The girls posted comments referencing the movie Saw, along the lines of “if you saw the movie ‘€˜Saw,’€™ you know what’€™s coming next”, as well as leaving other derogatory remarks about appearances, habits and personalities.
In an attempt to hide their identies, the girls included their own names on the list of people receiving abusive comments.
The girls were identified by their IP addresses.
lol, love it. So many people think they’re anonymous and free to do whatever they want online.
And, in a nation so proud of it’s freedom of speech, precious little freedom from the consequences :)
I wish teens don’t abuse it like this, it just proves the adult’s point that we are irresponsible even more… :-(
