    I wouldn't doubt something as ridiculously stupid as this actually happening, but I don't think it did. I closed it halfway through. internet drama is so shitty and annoying.

    Actually they interviewed the parents on the Today Show this morning. It seems to be true.

    If this is a true story, I find it petty and sad that grown ups would pull a stunt like this. I also find it sad that the parents of the girl who died couldn't explain life a tad better to her so she realized there is more to life then what some two bit fuck on the net has to say.
    You've changed your place in this world!

    yeah, and since when has making an orthodontist appointment become so fucking important that you can't take 2 seconds to go X out an internet window?

    i read the article in my paper yesterday ...

    i don't know if it's harassment but i think this woman should be charged with something ... if we don't want pedophiles pretending to be young boys/girls online we shouldn't want mom's doing this ...

    shit, couldn't they CHARGE the parents with a sex crime? they were impersonating a minor to solicit them into a romantic relationship. if dateline can nail predators this way and teachers get busted for it, why not these pieces of shit?

    yeah ... well, that's what i was saying ...

    i dunno ... definitely a fine line ... i think the thing for me is they KNEW she was troubled but they preyed on her and did this anyways ... not that ignorance is a viable excuse but it seems there was definitely a malicious intent ...

    In fact, there was a girl years ago on this board who talked of killing herself (and supposedly did). People told her she was a coward for taking the easy way out... maybe the police should dig up that thread and prosecute anyone who said something negative to that girl.

    if one of those people pretended to be eddie vedder, spent weeks telling her he was inspired by her and encouraging her, and then said he was just kidding and she was a cowardly piece of shit, then yes, they should be prosecuted.

    perhaps they could get them on defamation. that they maliciously said untrue things to her with the intent of hurting her. that IS an actionable offense.

    well ... if i read correctly - you're the law guy ... i don't know it at all ...

    i just think this case goes beyond someone bullying or just making fun ...

    The fact is that under this scenario, the ex-girlfriend's parents intentionally involved themselves to deliberately and with malice intentions inflict personal harm to Megan. Seems to me they are at least complicit in this girl's death. 1) they had prior knowledge of this girl's mental state with depression, they would know the right buttons to push to send her over the edge. 2) they deliberately and with malice intentions communicated with a minor to inflict personal mental pain and, 3) they maliciously stated a course of action for the ending of this harassment by saying the world would be a better place without her. I'd file a civil suit.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    The parents mentioned, on the Today Show this morning, that there is a civil suit pending.

    if there is any justice in the world, that family will end up broken, homeless, and destitute.

    just caught a snipet of a clip on cbc radio talking about a new law being passed in the county or some level of gov't where megan died relating to cyber bullying ...

    part of a larger series on cyber bullying ...

    I don't know anything about US laws but at the heart of it, somebody said some terrible things on the internet. I hate to sound like I'm simplyfying it but surely that can't be a crime. It's despicable, especially considering the person had prior knowledge of the girls mental state. But illegal?

    I just wish people would learn that saying terrible things has real consequences. Racial slurs and stuff are blown out of proportion, what really hurts people is the stuff like what was said to Megan.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
