Maybe what Lori Drew did not show good judgement on her part. But, ultimately she is responsible for her actions & that of her child only.
Tina Meier was responsible for the actions Megan. How in the hell do you let a 13 year old CHILD have a myspace page and not know what is going on on that page???
Tina Meier should be charged with neglect of her daughter. The message out of this should be parents should PAY ATTENTION to their own children otherwise somebody else will.

nope...Not Tina Meiers' fault...Teenagers hide things from their parents all the time. This is a case of an adult endlessly harassing a 13 year old girl. She didn't consider the consequences and then tried to hide what she did after she found out what had happened. She's garbage.

People, it's called the internet and if her family would have taught her good family values, it's against the religion in most cultures to take your own life. In fact, it's a sin in my religion. You you believe in people's profiles on myspace that everyone is real and legit, then you should seek help asap.

People harassing other people have too much time on their hands. Most of us turn to the interenet for knowledge and entertainment. She needs a more quality of life. Nobody is too blame except for the girl's stability, knowledge and understanding of the internet, but Megan was a moron too.

[Babs]

I sincerely doubt Megan actually realized she was taking her own life.
Suicide is a cry for help; rarely do teens understand the true finality of the act.

Why would this jerk tell someone the world would be better off without her?

To get her to kill herself. Simple.

And it worked. Nice one. You tricked a kid. I hope you feel good about yourself.

[Hax Or]

I also want to point out the cold-blooded, reptile-like comments (above mine) are typical.

Blame the victim, right? GTFO the internet Punks

[skippy]

life is full of bullies.

survival of the fittest.

There's never one person to blame for suicide.

Nope. Lori Drew is the monster. What responsible parent torments a child like she did? Answer: on;y a child abuser. Lori should spend a few years in prison thinking about the answer. Eventually, she come to reallize harrassing a teen is child abuse.
