And I'm sorry, but if you're going to over react to something like that, then you should be aware of the consequences of your actions, which is that people will get upset. I certainly don't want my own personal venting online to get the cops called on me? Maybe Mrs x should have thought about how she'd feel in the mom's place before she acted on the hysteria that was going on. The whole point of this post is not to rehash the whole drama, or to rake Mrs X over any coals, but to get people to THINK about what they are doing to another family before they do something so drastic as to get authorities involved. Which is really the only thing that could have happened after twitter was notified.

She is being raked over the coals for something she DID NOT do. She had not control over what was or was not done. She was concerned. OH WELL! That is her freedom of speech just as it was for the women who left the offensive twitter. I understand your point of view. It did turn into a bigger situation than it should have been. This is the second post I have read about this particular twitter drama. I think the whole thing needs to be dropped, at this point. I think everyone involved and who watched it unfold, last night, had a very big learning experience. That is my opinion. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Lisa@BlessedwithGraces last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Blessedwithgrace/~3/503125103/nothing-new-to-say.html" rel="nofollow">Nothing new to say....</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I am friend of Mrs.X, and let’s ALL make sure that we understand, she DID NOT call the police.
