YouTube star sends troll's nasty messages to his mother

If there’s one thing trolls hate, it’s when they’re caught out and YouTuber Cian Twomey did just that, in the most epic way possible.

Loveable Irish viral sensation Cian may have a devoted following of over 5.5 million people but that doesn’t stop the odd hater from sending him a few nasty messages or two.

However when one man was relentless in his trolling, Cian decided to get his own back by sending the man’s explanative-filled Facebook messages straight to his mother.

The troll was a 45-year-old man called Kevin, who sent Cian three messages telling him he was a “f__**__ idiot” who should “grow up”.

Cian posted the whole exchange to his Facebook page and it’s already been like over 100,000 times.

“I thought it was a kid. Turns out it's a 45 year old man. I thought to myself "hmmm how do I deal with this?" Cian wrote as the caption.

“I did what any other person would do, I messaged his mother and snitched on him.

“Don't mess with me big boy, I'll go telling on you whether you're 12 or 45.”

Cian message went straight into Kevin’s mom’s Facebook inbox, who we can only hope gave him a good telling off.

“Kevin has sent me something rather foul on Facebook and I feel a member of his family should be made aware of it. Thanks Karen, cute cats xxx,” Cian wrote.

While he hasn’t updated his fans on whether Karen wrote back or not, people were in total support of his actions.

“I do not understand how people can be so hateful. Must suck to have such a cold heart. You're amazing and you have made my friend and I laugh the hardest we ever have,” one fan said.

“If you do not like someone don't follow them. I love you and both Emilys! You are all wonderful,” another said.
