Is my friend wasting her time with police?

[Buchanan0204]

To cut a long story short, my friend plays a sport and there is a photo of her playing the sport online. Someone took the photo and photoshopped it to make her fat.

They then posted it on twitter under an anonymous name and account. The person tweeted it to the sports governing body and they retweeted it! Apparently the person that did this is in bother.

They also photoshopped another girl by placing an adult toy in her hand and on another photo replaced her face with jimmy saviles.

There was never any threats or violence towards the girls, just mockery.

She's phoned the police and I think she's wasting her time. The twitter in question has now been deleted.

What can she or the police do? Personally I think she's over reacting but that's woman for you.

Lol, make sure she never posts a picture in GD, she'd go ****ing mental.

 

[mame]

It will be a girl she knows who doesn't like her or is jealous of her.

 

[RomanNose]

Yes, she is mental and probably mixes with other mental people as well.

 

[Amnesia]

she could try using that adult toy which has been placed in her hand

 

[krooton]

Waste of police resources.

 

[antijoke]

Is she saying internet trolls did it? If so tell her to STFU.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Don't think they could do anything, Graham Taylor had turnip on his head on the front page of The Sun when he was England manager.

 

[ChocolateStarfishRammer]

Ha!..

Tell her to man the **** up.

Life's bigger then it!

post a pic of her up in GD and show her the results,

she'll soon realize how trivial this twitter pic is


what sport btw?

 

[UncleRuckus]

She is wasting the police's time, not wasting her time with the police.

 

[Cosimo]

She should be pleased that she's achieved some internet fame.

 

[DAIR]

lol Funny.

Also waste of police time.

Post image here!

 

[Hades]

Tell her to man the **** up.

Made me rofl.

 

[Skidder]

Post a pic and we'll do nice shops to make her feel good. Honest.

 

[Buchanan0204]

Hilarious responses! Why the hell are the police responding to her? Are they obliged to visit or what? It's a home visit btw.

 

[piggeh]

Contact the Police Complaints Commission and say she's being treated unfairly just because she isn't famous. She made need to be interviewed and a statement taken but it should get things moving.

 

[s2h81]

just lolz

 

[MrMarvelous]

If she takes things like this seriously then she should not be allowed on the internet.

It'll get thrown out. An absolute waste of police time.

A friend has had to fight to get an internet case looked at by the London met - but in her case, someone (on twitter) wrote the most violent, vile things you could think of. Dozens and dozens of messages, threatening to kill and rape her - and gave her location in one. That, on the other hand, I think is a valid reason to look into it.
