A British teen whose out of control MySpace-advertised party left her parents with a £20,000 ($48,000) damage bill for their house has apologised to her parents.

Rachael Bell, 17, claimed her web page was hacked into by friends who posted an invitation to a "trash the average-sized family house disco party", prompting teenagers laden with alcohol to descend from around the country.

When people she did not recognise started turning up, she bolted the door "but they just started climbing through the window," Rachael said. "There were even 11-year-olds trying to get in. I just had a panic attack because of everything that was going on.

"I was going to tidy up after the party - I thought I had a couple of days to clean the house before my parents got back. Then the ex-neighbour came and told me my mam was on her way home and everyone had better clear out - and I left."

Rachael added a warning to anyone who might be tempted to advertise their party on MySpace that "the sites can be hacked".

Elaine, a 48-year-old teacher, warned her daughter not to have "any kids or drink in the house", while she was on vacation.

But more than 200 people descended on the house for the party, some from as far afield as London, 450 km away. "Whoever has come in here are worse than animals, it's like house rape," Elaine said. "They've been sick everywhere, whose wedding dress was urinated on and trashed the house.

"It will take a month for it to be professionally cleaned and we are having to stay in temporary accommodation."

go

Well, if we can believe that her "friends" hacked into her account and it wasn't her doing it, I'd see if I could prove that they had hacked into it and then sue them for the damages.

damn that sucks.

Those people acted like monkies.

Hence why Myspace is evil. This reminds me of what happened to some lady on Craigslist.com. Somebody hacked her account and posted an advertisement with her address saying "Come to my house and take what you like, everything is free!" Well people from all around came and looted her house, they went so far as to steal the doors right off the hinges, they took everything, including the kitchen sink.

damm... im too late!!

and thats the 452436th reason i hate my space lol

idiots

Why didn't the girl call the cops right away? Stupid girl.

Geez. I feel bad for the poor girl. I wonder if it was really "hacked" into. Who knows.

I would have stayed & faced the parents. Instead of leaving the house like that. Or try to clean it up.

Edit: 11-year olds is just to young to party. -_-'

"Now, Rachel, while mummy and daddy are gone, you are not allowed to have anyone over, OK, and if you do we will have to have a very strong talk about it, OK. Well, not too hard because we understand you are a teenager and it is healthy for you to rebel, but we will talk, young lady."

Somehow, this is what I imagine that went down. My Dad used to tell me, "If anyone comes into MY house while I'm away, I will find out and then I will have to have you arrested as an accomplice in a breaking and entry into MY house. And you'd better hope the cops keep you long enough for me to get over it, or I will be arrested for manslaughter." Of course the conversation was in Spanish, but you get the gist. Needless to say, NO ONE ever came over when my parents were out.

Oh no, lets not warn against the fact that a murderer could have found an easy target, someone who desperately needs money has a great hostage situation, rape, and theft could have happened.

It did say in the paper that the parents did want their daughter charged.

Who knows if her MySpace account was hacked into, if the daughter did post the invites herself, she is hardly going to admit to it now that's for sure.

She's totally lying. If she bolted the door and people started pouring in the windows then why didn't she just call the police? And why did everyone clear out when they heard her mother was coming home if they were just crazed zombies?

Well I think it's just snipHACK HACK HACK EVERYONE COME TO MINE FREE BOOZE HACK HACK HACKsnipsilly thing really. If anyone hacked my account i would be annoyed.

I'm with truethat on this one... . After experiencing only two people showing up when they shouldn't have, that were 'throwing up drunk' I didn't hesitate to call whoever I needed to call to nip that in the bud. I didn't want them to destroy anything that I'd worked hard to achieve.

That's why I'm never going to leave my teenagers alone in our house while I'm on vacation......

My trips are gonna have to wait until all the kiddies are all grown up and left the nest......I wonder if there's a Club Med for geriatrics....

What happened to just telling the friends in person? She was doing wrong anyway by doing exactly what she shouldn't and then using Myspace was icing on the cake,

I bet she is soooo grounded!!

Thats one for her folks to tell the grandkids

mob mentality if everyone else is doing it it must be fine very sad people can act like that

Myspace gets hacked all the time. It's kinda funny..

Well, they are using windows servers

Im an avid MySpace user and trust me accounts are hacked all the time . Really. Im not saying she's guilty or innocent, but i believe that her account was hacked. She didn't want the party, but then she didn't do enough to stop it. She probably freaked out after too many people came and then tried to stop it .

oh yeah i forgot about that thats bad

*removes all traces of planned party from net*


but you have a point
you never know who is on the other side

But the idea is that only people on the "friends lists" see the invite
so presumably, they are all friends.

But it does seem a bit sus that they came from over 450 miles away.

I don't understand why she didn't call the cops. If I had people pouring in my windows, I would have called the cops ASAP and then gotten out the big guns.

Stupid stupid little girl. Now thats a daughter her parents can be pround of. Just think, she is just one of the many who will be entering the world on her own in a few years.

ahh... i had a good laugh after reading this... "the climbed through the windows" hahahahaha
too funny

why would you post something like that on the internet in the first place???
Everyone knows most things can be hacked into!
I guess i learnt my lession in high school when a friend had a party and, just by word of moth and sms's the whole school knew, including friends of friends of friends....her house was trashed and things where stolen. It was not good!
Ill now send out invites by mail and organise bouncers! its well worth it.....

ok found a lesson in this,.. when i'm gonna have to trash my house. and have a very huge party. i would glue my furnitures and items in its place before everyone arrives so that nothing would be lost.
