Durban - A Durban woman who is seeking legal advice after she was harassed on Facebook has created a fan page to help other victims of cyberbullying.
Within a week of her picture being posted on Facebook page “SA’s finest girls”, Claudia Crystal Naidoo, 21, received hundreds of derogatory comments, from mainly female users of the social networking site.
Naidoo, who does not know who posted her photo on to the page, said she first became aware of the page a week ago.
A friend told her about it and when she logged on, she was shocked at the comments posted below her picture.
“It is disgusting what some people are capable of commenting. And for most of the derogatory comments to come from women, it is shocking,” Naidoo said yesterday...
Naidoo’s boyfriend, Randy Singh, 25, said he also came under attack on the fan page but “didn’t bother responding”.
“It’s sick that some women believe that victims of rape ask to be attacked because of what they wear. People need help. I will support my girlfriend until the end,” Singh said.
