Default Woman is indicted in Missouri MySpace suicide case

I am happy she's being held responsible for the girl's suicide. It was cruel for anyone, let alone an adult, to do that to a child.

And some folks don't think on-line bullying is real.

It's very real, but you do have to take it with a grain a salt.
A poster on here once said he wish he could nuke my city.

Yes, to setup a fake account ONLY to harrass that girl is awful.
I hope she gets some time.

Most of the posters on AWE can be pretty insulting at times, and I include myself in that number.....


So, when does insulting become cyberbullying?

She will get 10 years probation, no big deal.

I think a 19 year old picking on a 13 year old pretty much always construes bullying.

I think if you have to ask, you're probably a cyber bully. And who knows how many suicides you've contributed too.

Hmm, I better be careful.

I keep telling Canuck and NOYB that the world would be better off without them.

Now they aren't 13, but they have the minds of 6 year olds. (Nazism is a form of retardation!)

This sounds more like free speech is being bullied.

Lori Drew was a 49 mother who asked her 19 year old co-worker to set up a myspace account to harass a 13 year old. It's kinda a sad day when a 19 year old has more common sense than a 49 year old.

Our kids don't have a myspace/facebook. But, a girl in my daughter's class does. She posted a provocative picture of herself on myspace that wasn't 100% accurate, she is now known as the bra stuffer at school. Kids have always been cruel, but adults need to act like adults.
