Jaide accused the two other girls of bullying her. Instead of taking the accusation seriously, and talking to the school and the girls, Jaide's claim was immediately dismissed by the mother. And yet, now she's openly soliciting bullying organizations and claiming she's not being heard. Well what about Jaide's initial claim? Your children were accused of bullying, and instead of taking it seriously you dismissed it. How can you be a bullying advocate when you're not addressing what happened to start this situation (if it really is Jaide)? The irony here is rich.
ETA: The one daughter accused Jaide of approaching her in a sexual manner, and she said she refused. Jaide responded saying that she's upset/going to start cutting again/might kill herself. This is classic bully (the daughter), and the bullied (Jaide) behavior. It was after that that Jaide went to the school to report it.
Am I off base here? Is my past experience coloring what I'm seeing?
I can't fathom an attorney advising it, either. I think most attorneys either prefer to be your mouthpiece or have there be complete silence. Either way, it requires the client to STFU.

Isn't that right out of Mean Girls?!
You are not off base, I was bullied by two popular girls who told their parents we were friends and then have them drive by where I was baby sitting so they could honk and wave, just to mess with me. I'm sure their parents thought they were angels.

You are not off base at all. I hate to generalize the "mommy blogger" mentality but it's a lot of blowing smoke. Most of these people moderate their comments and live in a bubble where everyone agrees with them or give off the perception that everyone agrees with them. They don't allow for real dissension, because it will plant the seed in the believers. Then they all feed off the mob mentality and take it from there. Then they can say "SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE OUTRAGED!!!" When really you've fed them a story and they believed it.

I actually emailed one of the mothers. She'll probably discount everything I wrote, but I had to, as it's too close to my sister's situation.
I mean, one of the girls' phone was logged into "Jaide's" instagram account. Instead of the possibility that the girl had logged in and forgotten to log out, suddenly her "phone was hacked and used to access the account." Whut?
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
Also, I read my husband the blog post, and when I was done he said, "Bullshit." Although he tends to think the blogger mother is doing it. lol!
My H didn't even let me finish telling the story. His expression just got more and more incredulous as I was telling it until finally he interrupted me and said, "Let me guess, they made it all up?"
OMG. No one wants to believe their children would do something like make up a story about being bullied, but wake up and smell the coffee people. HER PHONE WAS LOGGED INTO JAIDE'S IG ACCOUNT!! I also have a hard time believing the FBI is involved. If that were true, wouldn't they have figured out what's going on??
ETA: my bad...it says they have called contacted the FBI, not that they are involved in the investigation.

My family went through a situation similar as this in the past year and it is still fresh with me specifically. I don't have much tolerance for the shit the denial parents are pulling and am quite upset by the hypocrisy you mentioned.
Not the same but when I first hired my attorney for divorce the first thing she said was get off social media.
While my family was being harassed and threatened online the first thing the police and my lawyer told me was close all social media sites and do not email/text anyone about details.

What??? Your attorney didn't suggest that you create a Facebook group and blog about it??? Insanity!
It's the "yet" that worries me. They're whipping people up pretty hard on social media.
This is why I can't with mommy bloggers. I mean I have a blog, obviously and there's a fair amount of mommying on it. But as a whole, man, no. It's distasteful. The mommy blogger culture is rather terrible as a whole.
But you know what's worse?? The mommy blogger meets sewing world.
I just looked at the FB page again, I need to stop doing that. But OMFG, REALLY?! Does she REALLY believe this?
In regards to her "cell phone" hack:
Wait they hacked you even after you switched providers and got new phones? HOW are they doing this?? Like · Reply · May 6 at 8:21pm
Cyberbully Victims I think it might be an inside job with Time Warner. They might have contacts within. Not 100percent sure but all the strange happenings tend to show same times and dates of my dealings with Time Warner. Not to mention they drive down my street all the time And even park outside my home across the street.
Also, someone should tell these girls that lying to the police and filing a false report in TX is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $2k fine and 180 days in jail.
Considering all the resources the cops are spending on this, I would think there'd be some blowback if it came out the girls were the ones doing this.

Is this chick for real? How many people does she think are "in" on this? DOES IT GO ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP?
THANKS OBAMA!
Maybe we should direct her to a certain camera review site.
this reminds me of a piece i read this week (on jezzie or huffpo) about the teen in the late 90s that faked months and months of gay slurs and death threats. she was doing it all to herself and in the end, the only explanation was she wanted attention.
and i am reminded of the mom blog floating around on ML last year by the mom whose daughter was stalked and ended up dead and the mom believed the MOST OUTRAGEOUS theories instead of the very real possibility her daughter just ODed.
at least no one has been hurt yet.
What was the name of the OD girl? I was trying to remember because this reminded me of that.

Does anyone know what happened to Morgan and her family? Did the mom ever come to grips with the truth?
I always kind of wondered about Morgan's dad--I wonder if he ever tried to say things like "Now honey, maybe we have to just accept that Morgan died from an overdose..."
It's curious the police haven't figured this out yet. A couple of IP checks would go a long way here, yes?
I think they did, hence the part where she mentions the IPs being theirs, and that they were cloned to frame them.
I imagine the police are now just gathering the required information before telling them, again, that Paige isn't involved and that they need to drop it.

Oh right. Damn.
This is really upsetting me. You're spot on that there is some fucked up SES stuff coming into play with jaide and her family. I would really hope to see some action taken against the parents here.

I honestly wonder if the police haven't told the family that already and the Moms just don't believe it. Because, clearly they are 100% invested in their daughters being bullied by this super-criminal.
And I sort of wonder if the two girls are in a bit of quandry themselves at this point, I imagine when they started it it seemed like a good idea and now it's become this HUGE thing with their parents contacting the FBI? But now they can't just say "oh hey, just kidding it was us heehee".

Yeah these girls are in over their head. They should probably just stop all of it and hope it goes away.

I thought about that from the girls, and wonder if they feel like they have to keep going. However, they're in this enabling atmosphere now that I don't think they even care. Hell, one of them was caught logged into the bully IG account on her phone and the response was "OMGZZZZZ they've hacked our phones to access the web!!!"
