Not everyone has social anxiety that bad or worries that much about what people say to them online, so that stance is a biiiiit extreme. Unless you're having a laugh with us which ok fair. This kid just got a taste of the internet and frankly surprised it took them until 13 to get it. Have you heard the stuff 10 year olds say to each other on Minecraft or Xbox Live? Going off the deep end like this parent has only enforces their daughter's inability to handle jerks which is a skill everyone will need or life will be miserable. It sucks that it happened but its a good chance for good parenting and a lesson about dealing with other people.
