Social media has wrongly identified a Cincinnati, Ohio teenager as the high school student who engaged in a confrontation with a Native American protester, leading to a slew of online attacks.

Michael Hodge and his family were subject to threats after being doxxed — having personal information shared online — according to his older brother, Andrew Hodge. According to a Sunday Twitter thread by Andrew Hodge, members of his family were harassed and spammed with “threats of physical violence" after their parents' address got posted online.

“My parents, uncles, & aunts, receive messages stating they are pieces of shit parents and won't be able to protect #MichaelHodge forever... seriously what kind of behavior is this?” Hodge wrote.

Blame Twitter for allowing threats on their site. There ought to be legal action against that.

The original post can always be discovered. With that, if it is found to be a direct threat, civil and/or criminal action can be taken.

Sorry, the DOJ is busy framing the Trump Admin and can’t be bothered by simple peasants.

Can we zot Kathy Griffins home address at least: she apparently lives in a $10 million mansion in Bel Air.

Maybe someone knows the exact location

Sue Twitter, Facebook, the source of the doxxing and any identifiable people making threats. Turn the tables on them. This Hodge kid was the misidentified party so he should be fully protected by libel laws as a private citizen, not a public person.

Go for the gold, Mr. Hodge. You’re the unfortunate victim and you should try to cash in at the max. These jerks need to be taught a lesson.
