The story of a mother in the US, who for almost a year bullied her daughter through fake profiles on the Internet, has now been turned into a movie.

Kendra Gail Licari had created fake profiles on the Internet, and through social media, she spent months bullying her teenage daughter and her boyfriend, and during this period she even cooperated with school authorities to, allegedly discovered, who was the real bully, reports voxnews.al.

The 43-year-old was sentenced to 19 months in prison in April 2023 after pleading guilty to two counts of stalking minors.

Now her story has been turned into a Lifetime movie called "Mommy Meanest."

In early 2021, Licari's teenage daughter began to be harassed, receiving harsh messages from someone claiming to be her age.

The girl's boyfriend was also targeted, where he also received text messages on social networks up to 12 times a day.

The high school student told her mother about the messages and Licari himself went to the authorities to report the "online" bullying. She even worked with the boyfriend's mother to try to find the "perpetrator".

The Beal City school began investigating in December 2021, when the girl and her mother went to report the messages to authorities.

The district then called local law enforcement, but they were unable to locate the bully. However, a few months later the computer experts of the FBI were called to their aid.

They discovered that Licari was using a virtual private network (VPN) to mask her location.

The FBI was then able to trace the IP addresses used to send the messages and discovered they belonged to the girl's mother.

Investigators said there were several hundred messages, with 349 pages of evidence submitted to the court.

The content of the messages was kept private by prosecutors and the court, but they were described as "disturbing" and "very hateful".

"I can't imagine any parent saying such horrible things to their daughter," Judge Mark Duthie told the court in April 2023.

Licari's reasons for harassing her daughter online remain a mystery.

When confronted by law enforcement, the mother made a full confession and so the case did not go to a jury.

Isabella County District Attorney David Barberi said at the time that it appeared the mother wanted her daughter to need her.

"Someone else coined the term, but they call it a version of 'cyber Munchausen syndrome,' which seems to be a type of behavior where you're making someone feel bad enough that they need you in their life for because of this behavior," Barberi told Local 12 News.
