(www.JuJusArtBlog.wordpress.com) – When the heart breaking video of Ju Ju – the daughter of an absentee dad – was posted on her fed up mom’s personal Facebook page, it wasn’t intended to go viral but it did. Nearly 10 million have watched the video that was stolen by gossip blog, MediaTakeOut.com and sold, shared, published by several well known media properties without the mother’s permission. Comedians like Kevin Hart shared and published the video and actually poked fun at Ju Ju with reckless regard for the 8-year-old’s feelings.
What’s worse, some bloggers like PerezHilton.dom, WorldStarHipHop, Redditt, Bossip and others cyberbullied the litle girl in the video and profited from her pain. The video was not set to public when it was posted to the mother’s page and was intended to “put a face” on the painful lives of #fatherless children. Perez Hilton was particularly cruel to Ju Ju and ner mother laughing and joking with his friends like @YeshaCallahan who writes for @Thegriot. Callahan even went as far as to send a series of tweets laughing and joking about Ju Ju’s pain.
The comments and responses to the maliciously written headlines were like daggers in the mother and child’s hearts. There were many tears shed. Facebook even suspended the mother’s personal account. It was a nightmare.
This blog was created by DC Livers & Associates for our client, Ju Ju and her mother to help the family heal.
