  • Trollers begin harrassing family
  • Family now receiving death threats

FROM a child's foulmouthed rant to police protection and death threats - one US family is learning the hard way about the dangers of giving their 11-year-old daughter a computer.

Just three days after Jessi Slaughter posted a video of herself on YouTube, her home is being bombarded with deaths threats and her family has been placed under police protection.

All because last Thursday, Jessi woke up at midnight and decided to post a video on YouTube called "Haters... Piercing... StickyDrama =D". 

Watch Haters... Piercing... StickyDrama =D here and note, despite the fact Jessi is just 11, the language is extremely graphic.

Jessi was angry that she'd been linked to a sexual relationship with Blood on the Dancefloor lead singer Dahvie Vanity at the tween gossip channel StickyDrama, and she let fly at those responsible for spreading the rumours.

In one of the safer-for-work messages to her "haters", Jessi claims she'll be "poppin' a glock in your mouth and makin' a brain slushie" and tells them all to "suck her nonexistent p...s".

"Suck it and get AIDS and die," she says.

Her response was not a YouTube hit by any measure, barely passing the 100,000 mark, but it was enough to attract the troublemakers on a website notorious for pranks, 4chan.

One 4chan troller - net users who specialise in baiting victims - decided to take up the cause of making life hell for Jessi and her family.

His first step was to pose as a police officer and ring her mother, Dianne, claiming that the man who was the target of her daughter's "brain slushie" threat had disappeared.

From there, as Jessi's internet fame spread, Anonymous and other users began posting her personal details on the net, including her phone number and home address.

They spammed her Facebook, Twitter and MySpace accounts and had pizzas sent to her house.

And then the trollers got their prize - 11-year-old Jessi Slaughter sobbing on YouTube and a her extremely net-unsavvy father's attempts to threaten the stalkers, much to their delight.

"You dun goofed up" immediately became YouTube's most popular post of the day, and introduced several choice terms such as "I've backtraced it" and "consequences will never be the same".

It's now pushing the two million views mark ... and Jessi Slaughter's family home is under siege.

Jessi herself is under a court order not to access the internet for at least three days.

There's a criminal investigation into the video of Anonymous pretending to be a policeman.

And sadly, it's not over yet for Jessi and her family.

Her mum has told Gawker about a "slew" of death threat phone calls to the family home.

"We've had may, many death threats," she told Gawker.

"We're afraid to leave the house. We're afraid to go to bed.

"I wan't my life back. I want my daughter's life back."

She claims she doesn't go on the computer and hasn't seen Jessi's original rant.

But it seem the family will face the consequences of their daughter's foul mouth for some time yet.

Today, "Jessi Slaughter given PCP by her father" is a trending topic on Google and all the popular social networks.

Needless to say, it looks like yet another hoax.

And finally, the trollers will be proud of their piece de resistance.

The latest internet rumour trending up the charts? "Jessi Slaughter has killed herself" - an "AP story" as seen on Tumblr and linking to a tired viral video of a Russian singer.
