Kathleen Edward, Girl Taunted Online While Battling Huntington's Disease, Dies

Reference: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/girl-bullied-battling-terminal-disease-dies/story?id=15355512

Summary: Michigan 9 year old Kathleen Edward battles with Huntington’s disease the same disease she lost her mother to in 2009. In late 2010 her 33 year old neighbor Jennifer Petkov allegedly starting cyber bulling Kathleen under the petkov name, this Facebook page features pictures of Kathleen’s mother Laura with the grim reaper and Kathleen above a set of bones. Kathleen regretfully lost the fight to Huntington’s disease recently.

Critic: I am completely sickened that a 33 year old woman would spend her time emotionally torturing a 9 year old that is already going through the pains of her mother’s death and this disease. I honestly cannot see why anyone would do this it seems just disgustingly evil.

Impact: This has a big impact on Kathleen’s community and school. This also has an impact on everybody with a certain magnitude to realize that there are dangers of cyber bulling and they are extremely evident in the world.
