Student Uses MySpace.com To Threaten Another Student

POSTED: Tuesday, September 26, 2006

A local teen is victim to a bully through MySpace.com.

The identities of the two eighth-grade girls will not be released, but their actions will be detailed to serve as a reminder to parents of the dangers of MySpace.com.

Brandi Shamie doesn’t understand why the other students at Livonia’s Emerson Middle School don’t see the kind of person her daughter Kaytlyn is.

“She’s energetic and vibrant and likes cheerleading,” said Shamie of her daughter.

According to Shamie, her daughter has been bullied both verbally and physically at school, and over the weekend, Shamie said she found pictures of her daughter on the Internet with dangerous messages posted alongside.

“Katylyn didn't know she was getting her picture taken she just happened to be in the way and they posted that on the internet under the MySpace and put ya know that they could shoot her and it alarmed me,” said Shamie.

Shamie wasted no time and contacted Livonia police, who are now actively investigating.

The girl who posted the picture was suspended from the school’s cheerleading squad. In addition to the girl posting the photo and writing messages, other kids logged on to view the image and wrote messages of their own, Local 4 reported.

Police warn parents to be sure they know what children are posting on MySpace.com.
