This kid is just plain scary if u ask me🙏🙏🙏

What about trump's tweets though?

That's like 15 🤥 days

just 15 months?

A man would have gotten 15 years + for the same crime. She gets off easy.

She's lucky she is a woman, she got off easy, had the been a man with the double standard she would have gotten at least 15 years. We have to feel sorry for her because she's a woman. The double standard judicial system in this country is disgusting.

Death penalty isn’t even good enough for this scum

Good.

Fifteen months isn't enough. Those messages were sickening. And the fall she has to try and appeal to the SC?!? Good on them for rejecting it

Should be life !!

Good....

I’m disappointed supreme court will not hear this case. This girl is convicted of a crime even tho there is no law! Crime is what? May I redirect your attention to illegals or minor feral animalsin New York and such committing heinous crimes only to receive a slap on the wrist!

She should have a 15 year sentence plus constant therapy. She’s an awful person

15 months? This is not a punishment

She needed more time! Bad influence people this is what your parents taught you as a preteen don’t listen to the people who is pressuring you into doing things that you don’t want to peer pressure bad influence her ass needs about 10 years to think about how she fucked up.

Give her 10 years.

She got off easy. Karma will get you

👹 MONSTER!!!!

People sitting in jail with more time than that for a bag of weed.

Set her free. I am told to kill myself at least twice a day on Twitter.

She loves kicking them when they're down. It's best not to give people like that the satisfaction or even an millimeter.

15 months and she appeals to the Supreme Court?! Snowflake. What she did was despicable. She was found guilty. Pay the bill serve the time and try and move on.

IDAddictUSA Good!!

This is one of the cruelest things I've seen done in a very long time, and hope she fails parole and kept in jail a while longer. Anyone inciting another to kill themselves should be put in irons.

Scary outcome. Two young kids with mental health issues. I hope she recovers and can lead a good life. Can't say I agree with her conviction.

Cara Delevingne must play her in the movie.

Obviously she is not remorseful or sorry for what she did to a mentally ill person. 15 months was very light for her crime

Should have received a longer sentence! White privilege at its best 😡🤬

Prayers 🙏 She comes out a better person than she went in💔

She’s creepy.

Should be 15 years

Bet the ladies have made her regret those choices, over and over.

Should be a longer sentence. Much longer sentence.

Jesus christ she manipulated a guy into killing himself for her own personal gain. Is she that delusional that she is innocent where she can't serve 15 months?

She probably needs to be in a psychiatric hospital.

15 months

Supreme Court won't consider topless bansUS Supreme Court says it will not take up a challenge to a city ordinance banning women from appearing topless in public; a group with the motto 'Free The Nipple' argued that the law violates the Constitution by treating men and women differently. This is routine all over Europe and I don't think any of their children have died from it. How come this article is only showing this women’s back? NBC News must think women’s breast are nasty even after their own article says otherwise. It’s legal in Canada, but few (if any) women stroll around topless in the park
