His name was Josh Evans. He was 16 years old. And he was hot.
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Look at him!" Tina Meier recalls her daughter saying.
Josh had contacted Megan Meier through her MySpace page and wanted to be added as a friend.Yes, he's cute, Tina Meier told her daughter. "Do you know who he is?"

Internet crimes are generally Federal crimes. A friend of mine was harrassed and stalked by a former boyfriend, and one of his techniques was to send e-mails about her to her friends, her employer, etc. The local police couldn’t stop him, but recommended that she call the FBI. She did, they got involved, and he ended up on Federal charges.
I would imagine this has moved up a level simply because of the publicity it’s gotten, but this family should know that Internet crimes are often Federal level crimes (because of the interstate aspect) and they should go beyond the local DA.
Are you drunk?

This is tragic!
It reminds me of something that happened in a small community on the east side of Houston. The mother of a high school girl hired a hit man to kill a rival girl and her mother. Can’t remember any details right now but no one died as a result of it.
Nope, just playing the part of a modern American "parent."
Maybe try reading the article then.
What you are “playing” may be the way you live your life but projecting yourself upon these parents is neither accurate or fair to them.
I also remember using the UI-Champaign PLATO system. Never used it for picking up girls though!!
Hard to believe how far we've come (and in some ways, how far we've regressed!)
Absolutely. Did you notice in the comments underneath that others felt the same way? Lousy writing.

I did read the entire article, thank you very much.

Apparently, perception isn't your strong suit.

You must know more than what's in the article. I call it as I see it. If you take a look at the rest of the comments here, you'll note I'm far from the only one to see it my way.
Sorry if my comments struck too close to home.
What's really funny here is that you would be the one to point a finger at my provocations. Are YOU drunk? Or, just a garden-variety hypocrite?
The stupidity and evil of that other family is mindboggling. They deserve to be sued to the hilt.
Eventually we put together a pretty cool software system to track these kinds of things. The parent could log in to a server and see what their kids had been or were doing. I'm sure someone makes stuff like this now. The liability issue was too much so we put it on the shelf.
Parents need to watch their kids but they can't all the time so they should use all the tools they can get. I would not let a child under 12 even use the Internet unless you are right besides them constantly.
What was done to this little girl was evil and the adults should pay for what they did.

Wanda Holloway hired someone to kill the mother of her daughter’s rival for a cheer leading spot. Her reasoning was that the daughter would be so upset(!) that she would drop out of the competition. Sick.

Someone call the Whambulance.
Good grief. What happened to personal responsibility?
If you let your 13 year old hang out online, you should know what they are typing and doing online, and you should unplug the computer when you see her type this. Bad parenting. Those kids are not your friends, idiot parents. They are your children and it's your sole job to protect them from danger and see to their needs.
After reading the stories, I don’t see MySpace as being responsible for what happened. The blame falls on the ADULTS who set out to humiliate a 13-year-old girl. They may not be criminally responsible for the girl’s death, but they’re certainly morally responsible.
