OPP urges public to back off 'unverified' info in Perth homicide case
Provincial police are urging the public to avoid spreading "unverified information" in the case of the death of a 15-year-old boy last week

Ontario Provincial Police are urging the public to avoid spreading “unverified information” in the case of the killing of a 15-year-old Perth boy on Oct. 25.

“Obviously, social media is an important link in the community,” said Bill Dickson, senior spokesperson for the OPP East region.

But some of the messaging has gone to “dangerous” speculation and rumours. Dickson urged residents “to refrain from spreading unverified and potentially misleading information.”

Dickson confirmed that some of the comments were negative references to the 16-year-old suspect’s self-identification as a female.

There have been “a lot of mentions” of that fact, but OPP decided the information was pertinent and included it in news releases.

The suspect’s identity can’t be revealed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

This prompted former area MPP Randy Hillier to post a Facebook video accusing unnamed people of “protecting their dangerous rainbow Trans agenda.”

EDITORIAL: The $44 million lawsuit against the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, the government, and banks failed to show any evidence of CAHN involvement in a (non-existent) wide-ranging conspiracy.

When they dismissed the case, the Ontario Superior court judge ruled that the claims of defamation against CAHN were made up of “only several bald allegations that amount to no more than a fishing expedition.”

Here are some things I’ve learned since I’ve started writing about court cases:
Most people are indifferent to the outcome of a court case.
Mainstream media lacks the resources to cover smaller cases.

There is an abundance of misinformation about court cases on sm, often fueled by a lack of coverage or caused by individuals trying to profit from provoking their audience. I have learned a lot and have become more empathetic, as well as learned to confront my own biases.

I've learned to balance my work life with my personal life. I rarely live-tweet court cases anymore because they don't allow me to provide comprehensive reporting, and I don't want to put tweets out there that could negatively impact people's perception of the justice system.

I will continue working on myself and my reporting. I hope you will stay with me on my journey.

There have been more times when writing or being on social media has caused me harm than happiness. From being stalked to receiving threats, most days I find solace in not looking at my mentions. I have lived in fear, but I won't let some individuals harm me.

I've made and lost friends along the way. It's surprising how people can develop parasocial relationships and start manipulating you if you don't interact with them. I started my reporting with humor covering zello. Somewhere along the way, most of that humor dried up.
