“I’m gonna get her.”
“Why are you so fat, so stupid, so crappy?”
“Knock on her front door and kill her.”

Rabin was one of three guest panelists addressing the issue of social media and its impact on youth at a forum Monday hosted by U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, at the Yellow Box theater in Naperville.
