Ravenswood Police Investigating Threatening Topix Posts

  • {West Virginia}...Todd Ritchie says he's enraged after discovering graphic and sexually threatening posts targeting his 15 year old daughter, a girl with Down syndrome, on the social website Topix. What was said about the young girl is so disturbing that it has police working to track down a potential predator. Ritchie reported the posts, which revealed his daughter's name and even mentioned her special needs, to Topix, and the site removed the posts days later. Ravenswood Police are involved and say complaints about Topix have flooded the office before, but none this disturbing. Topix has been working with Ritchie and the Ravenswood Police, but the company says it cannot provide information about where the post came from unless instructed by court order.
