I hope Petkov is well protected. Or, maybe I don't.

Interesting how I find psychological issues less of a defense when it comes to bullying a dying 9 year old.

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

The 9-year-old Michigan girl taunted on Facebook by neighbors while she suffered from a terminal disease died Wednesday, according to WXYZ-TV.

Kathleen Edward of Trenton, Mich., died from Huntington's disease, the same genetic degenerative brain disorder that took her mother's life in 2009.

Back in late 2010, 33-year-old Jennifer Petkov, who lived on the same block as Kathleen's family, allegedly began cyberbullying the little girl.

On a Facebook page under Petkov's name, there were images of Kathleen's mother, Laura, in the arms of the Grim Reaper and Kathleen above a set of crossbones. Neighbors also accused Petkov and her husband Scott of building a coffin, putting it on their truck and driving past the Edward home, honking the horn.

...In February 2011, the news web site MLive.com reported that Petkov pleaded guilty to assaulting another neighbor and as part of a plea deal, agreed to serve 18 months probation and was ordered to move out of her house and stay away from the neighbor as well as undergo a psychological evaluation.

Probation? Seriously?

We were appalled. Why aren't those people's pictures in the paper so they can be shunned?

~FR~

A video of Petkov "apologizing", in her lawyers office, to a reporter, from a scripted speech, being read from a printed page. Not only is it too little too late, she gives the reporter a glare that would freeze water when he asks her a question she doesn't like.

Give it time. Quite a few would like to see her removed from society and if her whereabouts are ever known, it just might be accomplished. And I don't mean in a comfy room with medication being administered.

Edited, I found the video.
And again, because I am technically challenged.
