She is what's known online as a Chan — one of maybe 20 girls who became famous in the mid-'00s for posting photos of themselves on image boards. Many men developed a lifelong obsession with the youngest Chan, whom they named after the book Lolita. Although some of these young women have gone on to achieve mainstream or cult fame, Loli now spends her days living a cloistered and fearful existence, stripping for dimes in front of her webcam.

When her parents gave her an HP computer at age 11, no one could have predicted she would end up suspended from her Catholic school, committed to Jackson Memorial Hospital's psych ward, and resorting to sex work as an adult.

    Cracky would post photos that were, in a word, dark. First, there was a series in which she smeared her face with menstrual blood.

    "She must be at least twenty now. Probably living a nice life. Friends, etc."
You know something tells me she might not have any friends.

EDIT: Anyway, this was a sad read. This jumped out at me --

    Jaime and Ilene never enrolled Loli in activities or sports, which suited her just fine — she preferred to stay indoors and play videogames anyway.

...reminded me of the discussion hubski had a few days ago about parenting and encouraging/mandating that your children do certain activities. Really hard to say how much you blame the parents for something like this and how much you blame the kids.
