The mother of football player Matthew Barnett at centre of the Maryville rape case insists her son is a victim.

DISMEMBERED dead rabbits have been dumped in the family car of outspoken Maryville rape victim Paige Parkhurst. The revelation comes as her former friend, Daisy, recovers from a suicide attempt.

The dead rabbits are just the latest example of a long campaign of abuse against the two young girls, Paige's mother, Robin Bourland.

Mrs Bourland circulated the graphic pictures on Twitter shortly after Daisy Coleman's mum appealed to internet "hacktivists" Anonymous for help after the young girl was found delirious in an attempted suicide at the weekend.

Daisy Coleman and Paige Parkhurst made international news earlier last year after they took their fight against the small US town of Mayrville, Missouri, public. The pair claimed two high school students had raped them when they were just 14 and 13 years old.

The case was only reopened under a Special Prosecutor after local authorities were embarrassed into action by a public campaign organised by Anonymous. They had highlighted the alleged involvement of the grandson of a powerful Republican politician and the unusual circumstances under which the charges were dropped.

Despite being placed under review last year, Daisy's lawyer now believes the case is being "sat on ... until the statute of limitations is up".

"Don't give up they say. You're so strong they say. But none of you even know me," Daisy tweeted at the weekend.

Mrs Melinda Coleman confirmed to media last night that her daughter had tried to commit suicide on Sunday evening US time.

Mrs Coleman said she fears the Special Investigator's report will find nothing because key video evidence - which one of the attackers confessed to taking on his iPhone the night of the assault - has been deleted.

She has called on cyber "hacktivist" group Anonymous, which supported the teen's case when it first happened, to try and find the video and not to abandon the case.

"Where is Anonymous now?," she pleaded emotionally on social media yesterday. "My daughter has been terrorised to the point she tried to kill herself last night. She may never be ok. Where are you and your super hacking skills and internet help now.......we really need them."

It's just the latest incident in what the victims claim is an ongoing campaign of abuse. Daisy's friend Paige Parkhurst , who also reported being raped the same night as Daisy, last week reported to police that the family car had been broken into and several dead rabbits left inside.

Mrs Coleman said Daisy had been to a party on Friday night and was the target of social media attacks afterwards.

She said her daughter was in a stable condition at a children’s psychiatric hospital in Kansas City.

Mrs Coleman said two of her daughter's former friends wrote nasty messages to her on Facebook and Twitter after she attended the party.

"I had let her go to a party with a friend, she was there for an hour and a half. Then she came home and saw Facebook. (One girl) decided to write something saying "you're a fake and a phoney," "you wanted it" and "you're a sl*t" because she went to the party," Mrs Coleman told the Daily Mail.

Mrs Coleman said she attacked the pair online, saying she "couldn't believe these girls were writing such horrible things to my daughter and defending it."

One post read: "That's why I blew up yesterday No one has ever got this much attention for being raped. Not just that I'm smart enough not to put myself in those situations."

The writer added "(I'm) tired of hearing about it".

Daisy was clearly upset: "You don't tell someone that you "care about" that they're an attention whore or slut or bipolar. That just makes you a pos."

She had earlier tweeted: "Hi I'm weird. Abnormal as hell, in fact. But I'm using my abnormalities to get me where I wanna go in life. So judge me."

Ms Coleman was indignant.

"She has been through so much and she has done so little. All the other kids are out partying and doing all this stuff and she isn't, she's at home with me all the time," she said. "The second they see her at a party for five minutes drinking a Redbull it's all over Facebook and they're tearing her to smithereens."

Late Sunday, Daisy tweeted: "I'm literally going crazy. Like I can't handle any of this."

Mrs Coleman said Daisy walked into her brother's room on Sunday night saying she was seeing ghosts and was "acting strangely."

Her family made Daisy vomit and once at hospital doctors pumped her stomach. It is unclear if she will suffer any long term damage.

"She's not coherent, she makes no sense, she's like a two year old," Mrs Coleman said. "I asked the nurse if she thought she would get better and she said there was no way of telling."

It was Daisy's third suicide attempt since the alleged incident where she and a younger friend Paige Parkhurst were plied with alcohol and sexually assaulted..

She told police the 17-year-old boy, Matthew Barnett, invited her to a party where she became so drunk that she couldn't stand and that he had sex with her while his friend filmed the incident on an iPhone.

Daisy was the subject of abuse after reporting the rape.

All charges against Barnett, now 19, were dropped in connection with the alleged rape last January amid controversial circumstances. But in October special prosecutor Jean Baker was assigned to re-investigate the case.

However, Melinda Coleman expects disappointment.

"I appreciate so much what she has done but I do think the people before her were covering for themselves and they were lying and cheating and deleting evidence so I think we will learn something but it will not be enough," she posted on Facebook.

"Unless Anonymous can find it, that evidence will never be found.

"I feel pretty helpless... I feel pretty much like there’s no justice, like people can destroy my children, my family, my life and take away my career and my home and there’s nothing I can do about it."

The Twitter account Anonymous Operations linked to this statement regarding the latest incident involving Daisy.

"To Melinda: we're so sorry for what your daughter went through. There are no words. It should be clear to the world that this is more than any parent should have to suffer. This is unacceptable," it reads.

"The people who took to your daughter's case and did what they could to shed light on the injustices you were going through are devastated right now. And at the same time, furious.

"Please know that, without question, if we could somehow produce the video you're looking for, if it was possible, it would have been done...

"Right now all we can do is stand with you and demand that the police, prosecutors and all the other people, the ones who have repeatedly failed to protect your family, for once in their lives, do their f-cking jobs."
