BREAKING NEWS » Tom Daley Twitter abuse

[MKR&*42]

Hmm. I somehow found the dude's acc., and I'm glad the police got involved tbf. It's just an endless list of death threats, crude lines + just idiotic messages. All the messages aimed at/about Tom:

Show Hide

• you should be ashamed of yourself you let out country down just **** off
  
• you let your dad down i hope you know that
  
• sit your ass back down tommy and don't get on a diving board again my little brother could do better absolute waste of space
  
• hope your crying now you should be why can't you even produce for your country your just a diver anyway a over hyped *****
  
• you really didn't try your best tommy you said you'd do your country proud and you let us all down rather support a tramp tbh
  
• he let the whole country down he's a little boy who's competing against men
  
• i dont give a **** bruv i'm gonna drown him and i'm gonna shoot you he failed why you suporting him you ****.

I'd post 3 more (that are aimed at diff. people), but it's too crude to be on the forum/in a spoiler I believe. At least someone did something about it.

I usually splash into the jokes about the news. But this is just sad.



I bet his mommy is shouting at him now.

Next time he'll think twice before doing something like that. Good job I say!

A celebrity holds an elevated position in society whereby people admire them and idolise them. People sending death threats is a bit more serious when thousands of people including the police take them seriously and act without a report, where as if say you or I got threatened on Twitter, nobody would notice and it'd go past like a empty plastic bag.

Plus they can't go around arresting every pre-pubescent teenager for making empty threats, where as a single adult making threats is a big more serious.

Riley was a child at the end of the day, and didn't even threaten tom, yknow? Was just a nasty comment. I realise that the police take things more seriously when it's brought to attention but when my friend was receving death threats from her ex's friends, she called the police and they told her to get over it - it's only twitter. They weren't even joking threats, she was so scared ended up deleting her account and pretty much becoming an internet recluse because of it. Just because everyone idolises a celebrity why should the law treat them differently? They're only a person...

Should have probably took that further to see if the Police failed to do their job to be honest.

We figured they didn't cover Internet-based bullying after they so rudely turned us down.

he didnt......reallly... say anything about his dad, only that tom let him down. Not threatening, just a really horrible thing to say? Unless i'm missing the point.

There was threats to Tom and said he was going to drown him and other threats to other users. In terms of bullying and threats on the internet, I'm pretty sure the Police do cover some points of it. It just seems your friend had some bad luck or something. Can't really say much about it

Oh i see, I only saw the original few. I know someone else who has been investigated because she was internet-bullied a few months ago but she lives in the US, I think they're stricter there. Bit annoying but that's life. At the end of the day, you don't NEED social networks so she just deleted them.

I actually had a look at his page and he looks like such a @#~$. Seriously he posts abusive comments to everyone.
