Paris Jackson blasts longtime friend on twitter. Fans proceed to bully 14yr-old friend

Paris should have her twitter account cancelled. She seems like a good kid, very bright and all, but some of her tweets are inappropriate, and her life should not be this open to everyone.
Edit: I know you need to parent them, but if they are anything like I was, they find a way around it. I am worried I will be too stupid to see it!!

Give me some fabulous BLANKET!
In an effort to gain more fans/followers for herself, Spencer decided to use her "friend" by spreading around a false phone number claiming it was Paris'. Paris tweeted this information, not because "fame has gone to her head", but because she needed to let her followers know that the number was not hers, that Spencer was lying, and that she no longer trusts Spencer. When Paris' followers crossed the line in their messages to Spencer, Paris rightfully spoke up for them to leave Spencer alone (which is more than most "real" celebrities, who are much older, do when their followers go berserk on Twitter).
This isn't an isolated incident of trust being broken, the Malnik family apparently has a previous history of using both Michael Jackson and his children. previously ties had been cut with the Malnik's (for good reason), and it was only relatively recently that Spencer and Paris reconnected, seemingly due to some involvement from Brett Ratner.
At the mere age of 14 Paris has to deal with both family and friends publicly using her, public interest/obsession over her, the loss of the only parent she ever knew and dearly loved, and routine harassment (including people sending her autopsy photos of aforementioned dearly loved parent). Given all of that, not to mention her relatives being more concerned with money and week long Uno championships at Spa's rather than guidance, I think she's handling herself as good as one could expect. Perhaps grown folks can stop making snap judgments, and instead take time to learn more about a situation so they can understand why she's behaving the way she is.

I mean, this Twitter drama ain't new. It's being going on for two/three years now (with Prince and Paris being horribly bullied themselves) . . . and none of the adult Jacksons have stepped in.
I understand that the kids have multiple nannies . . . so if one of the Jacksons can't/won't get involved in this, why not give authority to a nanny to monitor online activity? Shut this stuff down. Seriously, it's not that hard. My own nieces (around Paris' age) got into a lot of trouble online a while ago . . . luckily, they have involved parents who deleted their accounts, took away their phones, and limited internet access. Voila! lol
So Either she's dumb and didn#t see this coming
Or she wanted to show her ex friend how much more power she had
Either makes her a brat.
When I listen to my younger cousins talk, it's like they're another species tbh. I don't understand.

I do have to bite my tongue sometimes and remind myself we are not that different. I thought/wrote/said all the same stupid shit when I was her age as well. The only difference was it was confined to locked diaries or conversations between friends. It freaks me out. Especially when she posts all this stuff about say, being home on her own to her 280+ followers. Even 14 year old me knew better than that!
