Cyber snooping 49 year old parent turns to cyber bullying and results in suicide of 13 year old girl

By maggiesrose on | From peace4missing.ning.com
written by Affrodite (a freelance journalist/blogger), affrodite.net (photo of suicide victim Megan Meiers) The story of 13 year old Megan Meier's suicide from O'Fallon, Missouri as the result of cyber bullying by 3 main conspirators (a parent, her 13 year old daughter and a 19 year old female co-worker) who befriended Megan on MySpace under the fictitious identity of a 16 year old boy named Josh Evans raises more questions than answers.

Malicious Mother Convicted in MySpace Suicide Case

By barbarany_9 on | From barbarany_9.blogspot.com
Personally, this woman should have been convicted of murder... Her actions were immoral, unethical, incomprehensible, emotionally abusive and led to someone's death. I hope the public humiliation and hopefully jail time and restitution (even though no amount will bring this family's daughter back) will teach her and others a lesson. Having been the brunt of similar cruelty for speaking truth, I can only hope Drew cleans up her act. Though I doubt it. I wouldn't treat an animal that way. If...Read Full Story

Lori Drew dodges a felony
