<p>Last post we reported that radio/television personality <a href="http://benfroland.squarespace.com/blog/2010/1/13/glenn-beck-receives-death-threats-on-twitter.html">Glenn Beck was receiving death threats on Twitter</a>. Today it is actor Scott Baio receiving the morbid tweets.</p>
<p>An individual calling them self "timafi" sent Baio the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">@<a class="tweet-url username" href="http://twitter.com/RealScottBaio">RealScottBaio</a> a GRAND WIZARD like YOU Scott Baio should be PUT DOWN and someone will PUT YOU DOWN.YOU;your WIFE and KID</span><span class="meta entry-meta"><a class="entry-date" rel="bookmark" href="http://twitter.com/timafi/status/7987931669"><span class="published timestamp">&nbsp;</span></a></span></span></p>

I am a republican and I love Mrs O.</span><span class="meta entry-meta"><a class="entry-date" rel="bookmark" href="http://twitter.com/timafi/status/7987983233"></a></span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Mr Baio contacted Twitter to report the threats and posted the following:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">PLEASE NOTE: The FBI has been contacted &amp; we have a file number for the threats, along with twitter support. Thx</span><span class="meta entry-meta"><a class="entry-date" rel="bookmark" href="http://twitter.com/RealScottBaio/status/7998018998"></a></span></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span class="status-body"><span class="meta entry-meta"><span>Let's hope that this individual is found and prosecuted. Anonymous threats, especially concerning one's family, are disgusting and unacceptable. How prevalent is this behavior on Twitter and what are they doing about it?</span></span></span></p>
