Sent to jail: Jade Jackson (pictured in February) threatened to stab a 12-year-old
An internet troll who threatened to slash a 12-year-old broke down in tears as she was jailed for eight months today after ignoring her community punishment.
Jade Jackson, of Paisley, Renfrewshire, had originally avoided prison despite telling the schoolgirl that she would knife her during a Facebook argument.
But the 21-year-old, who is the niece of serial killer Peter Tobin, was imprisoned at Paisley Sheriff Court today for failing to complete meet social workers for court-ordered counselling.
Jackson, who was also banned from using social media, had smiled and waved at friends from the dock as she looked around the room - but this turned to tears when she was jailed by Sheriff Robert Fyfe.
The troll, whose late father Robert is Tobin's brother, sent her victim a chilling Snapchat image of her holding a knife to her face during the hate-filled campaign.
She used a Facebook profile in the fake name of Jade Brown to terrorise the schoolgirl after accusing her of speaking to her boyfriend.Â

Between July and November last year she hounded the youngster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, sending her countless threatening messages each day.
In one horrifying communication she said it would be ‘cool’ when the youngster had ‘blood pouring’ from her.
Jackson then tried to arrange a meeting with the youngster and said she was ‘going to slash’ her during the campaign of hate.
The abuse saw her contact the child on her mobile phone about five times a day and regularly said she had ‘messed with the wrong person’.
Jackson also threatened to go to the victim’s school and said she would be a ‘sorry lassie’ if she ever spoke to her boyfriend again.
The girl tried to bring the threats to an end by claiming her father was a police officer, but Jackson replied: ‘What’s he gonnae do? He will get smashed tae.’Â

On a previously used Facebook profile by Jade Jackson she said she worked at 'f*** the polis'
After seeing the picture of Jackson with the knife the worried girl's mother became aware of what was happening and contacted police.
Jackson, a notorious 999 prank caller who has previously been locked up for her antics, was prosecuted at Paisley Sheriff Court for her latest offences.
Earlier this year she admitted breaching the Communications Act by sending the girl the threats.
She had originally been held in custody for her offences but in February was spared jail and put on a Community Payback Order (CPO) as punishment for the abuse.
As part of the CPO she was banned from using websites and apps for two years and told she would be supervised by social workers for three years.

But she never bothered to turn up for her supervision appointments - and has now been jailed for breaching the CPO.
Robert Kerr, defending, asked for ‘one last chance’ for Jackson, adding: ‘She’s difficult to keep on track. She feels her life is full of calamity and catastrophe.
‘She feels she has gotten a raw deal across the board.’
But Sheriff Robert Fife ruled there was only one way he could deal with her - and jailed the tracksuit-clad yob.
As he did so, he said: ‘The patience of the court is exhausted. You have not complied with the community payback order, despite every opportunity.
‘I’m going to revoke the order and make a sentence of eight months.’
Jackson sobbed loudly as she was imprisoned and shouted ‘I love you’ to her fiancé as she was led down to the cells.

A member of Jackson’s supporters in court wept and shouted ‘you sick b******’ to the sheriff before police dragged him out.
She is the youngest of four children her mother Anne had with Tobin’s brother Robert, who died in 2008, from what was claimed to be heart failure after the shock of his brother's crimes.
Tobin was jailed for the 2006 murder of student Angelika Kluk, 23, after her body was found hidden in the Glasgow church where the rapist was a handyman.
Police then found the remains of schoolgirl Vicky Hamilton, 15, and Dinah McNicol, 18, at his former homes.
In 2010 Jackson’s sister Charlene, 29, was segregated from one of her uncle’s victims in HMP Cornton Vale after boasting about being related to him.
Warders were said to have be making sure that the woman, who fought off knife-wielding Tobin in his Paisley flat in 2005, did not meet her.Â
