Subject: RE: BS: Kenny Glenn & internet vigilantism
Here are Mrs. Glenn's own words concerning this issue:
"Would it help you to know how the cats are doing? Medical exams including X-Rays from two vets report no scratches, no bruising, no tenderness just two healthy happy cats. Inspite of this we signed papers for the cats to be rehomed.
Today as I read comment after comment on some internet sites that have proliferated about my son, a common thread came up that seemed to enrage a lot of people about Kenny. Some think that Kenny made the video to record himself abusing an animal. They think the he took the video of Dusty to look powerful. If that were true he would be psycho. He was wrong for making the video and it did at least scare the cat but what we have found is that the his intent was to create a Parody.
The intent was not to brag about hurting his beloved Dusty, not at all. The he wanted to create a believable video that would get a lot of response on youtube. He was trying to make it obvious; hence he even titled it "Animal Abuse" on YouTube.
The parody went too far at least scaring the cat and enraging viewers all over the world. The video was splashed over our local news time and time again. The boys were quickly arrested and are now going thru court proceedings. They are receiving punishment at home and thru the court system. They are remorseful and sorry for what was done.
What you may not know is that some very sick people have acquired free web space and even purchased domains such as Kenny-glenn.net, thekennyglenn.com, neverforgetdusy.com, kennyglennwillpay.com and the list goes on. These websites continue to propagate not only the video, but they altered the video and you likely saw one manipulated for the purpose of inciting rage and disgust.
They strip the sound and video creating various altered versions some even dub in perverted dialog. One site (thekennyglenn.com) has the most grotesque vile images I could never have imagined existed. These sick people will stoop to any low to incite you to rage.
The internet is their playground and they are using manipulated images and dialog about my 14 year old son to get you involved in their game. While it seems the entire world is taking their rage out on us, one family in this world, one small community, this sick group of cyber terrorists sit back and bolster their ego over how much havoc they can create and how they can recreate an image and story and send it to the local media of a small community then watch it unfold over their spider web of slandering web sites they put up in my son's name. They relish in their success of getting you the viewer of THEIR distorted images and words to send us hate mail and death threats.
You may well have watched an altered view of the video. It is the purpose of a group out there to capture images alter then feed them back to the public to incite you to rage. Unfortunately my son provided them the perfect opportunity. Then they lead a campaign of hate phone calls, emails and hardmail etc.which you apparently fell prey to.
Some of the sites slander my son, my family, our business and some of them pose as my son behind various versions of kennyglenn or glennspam1 out on the messages boards. They carry on dialogs with abrasive vulgar responses to people who think it is actually Kenny. All this incites people even more and as a result we continue to receive harassment towards our family, business, the school, the court house, media and DA. Be assured Dusty is well and in good hands and the boys are suffering and are being dealt with strong discipline thru court and home.
You have Kenny's sincere apology for the Dusty Video. We forgive you and hope you can forgive Kenny knowing the consequences still last.

By the way,there's also a group at Yahoo (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kennyglenn ) for people who are disgusted by all the hate being directed toward this boy.
