i feel for this family very dearly. I have had one of my friends kill herself due to what people said to her. They really didn’t know her how i knew her and if they did they would have never made fun of her. she was a beautiful person alot like megan. I know how it feels to loose someone you really love over something that they could’t prevent. Your daughter megan’s story touched my heart and made me realize that there are other people out there that has the same problems i do. You are a very strong and caring family to be fighting for your daughter like this. Just never give up because i have faith in your family. I wish that i could be as strong as your family. your family is in my prayers everynight. hopefully you will write back. god bless… Brittany.

My daughter hanged herself due to Cyberbullying April 22, 2007. She was 22 years old. I say if things are said on the internet and it causes death, they should be held accountable for it. I want to help stop the hate that kills our children. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will surely kill me. Part of a letter I sent to my daughters female bully. I will help in any way I can. When you lose your only child or any life is never the same. There is nothing worth doing except fighting back and trying to make some sense out of it. Be kind, one of your best friends or one of your children may end up taking their own life one day because of this same kind of thing, and for you, life will change and never be pain free again. How can I help?

” What kind of parent allows a 13 year old unmonitored access to MySpace? I am not saying what happened was right. But if the parents knew as they stated that the child had emotional issues shouldn’t they have monitored her computer activities a bit more closely? I personally don’t see this as a criminal case. There are remedies in court in civil law that I am sure the grieving mother will take after the criminal prosecution. This just smells like a parent trying to shift the blame from their indifferent parenting skills to someone else and make a buck off of it. ”

This smells of a Drew camp shill trying to shift the blame off of themselves and onto the little girls parents.
What kind of adult hides behind a pseudonym to drive an already emotionally unstable teenager to their death ?
What kind of adult continually tries to shift responsibility for their own actions onto the victim ?

Let’s get all the facts on the table. She was charged in CA by FEDERAL prosecutors because that’s where MySpace has its HQ. The child also violated the MySpace TOS because she wasn’t old enough to legally have an account. Now either the mother allowed this or created the account for the child..either way still a violation and FRAUDULENT USE OF A COMPUTER…the very same thing the woman is being charged with.

There are legitimate privacy concerns which warrant anonymity and different online identities. I don’t think anyone is disputing that. It’s the abuse of this to harass and victimize others, especially children.

“I can’t imagine anyone would defend this behaviour or argue that a right to anonymity or pseudonymity extends to adults who abuse young people in this way”. That is not true. Those indulging in this behaviour would defend it, but only those.

My sympathy to Tina Meier, and Lori Drew must be held accountable in this death.

All are alive in God’s memory, and their future prospects lie with him. His Son demonstrated this when on Earth.

Nah. They aren’t even done with web 2.0 yet. They are working on a RIAA-compliant web 1.9.84 though, still in beta.
