Rest in Peace, Tina.
Even if the girl hadn't killed herself, what these so-called adults did was evil, evil, evil.
One other thing caught my eye: The way Megan spelled out the last letter of her name..."N is for Neglected."
This got me to start reading between the reporter's lines: Here is a Modern Mom who is out being a real-estate agent, always rushing about; who doesn't have time to spend with her overweight depressed daughter -- who allegedly had ADD?
Now don't get me wrong -- I don't for one minute blame the mom for her daughter's suicide. If anyone's the proximate cause, it's those evil neighbors.
But I have to wonder if the girl was diagnosed with ADD because medicating her was the "busy" parents' way to deal with her problems.
And if the build-up of ADD medication in her system had something to do with her suicide.
And whether, if the mom had decided to be a full-time mom, the girl wouldn't have felt "neglected" -- and pushed into the arms of phantom strangers.
This is an angle the liberal media never dare pursue, just as they never pursued the evidence that Dylan Klebold's problems began in daycare.
I am having trouble following this article for some reason...and don’t have time to go reread it but..
some people are just rude and this women is a bitch...but I don’t see what laws she violated....it’s a grey area since whe was an older adult with a 13 year old though...kids/young adults do this all the time mostly as jokes.
In college my roommate was a online slut meeting girls that way...my other roommate and I would create fake female AOL accounts and he would contact “karen2hold” to talk too...the funny thing is that he would come into our rooms and we would ask what are you doing. He would say he is talking to this girl named “karen2hold” but he would never notice Karen2holds AOL icon flashing on our computer screens 2 feet away from him..he would them go back in his room and continue to talk to Karen2hold
This is such a sad story. Makes me wonder what is wrong with people anymore. They involve themselves in their childrens lives in all the wrong ways.
How could these people do such a thing?
So very sad.
Indeed, and it shows these 'adults' have their own mental problems.
What was so outrageous was the parents who perpetrated this "hoax" then had the grieving family over to comfort them. The grieving family was storing a ping-pong table for the perpetrators. Then the grieving family found out who had created the fake Josh Evans and destroyed the table. Now the perps are suing the grieving family!
Wow, this one seems like it should be an urban legend.
What scumbags.
The Meirs continue to make bad choices. They are stupid not to file a civil lawsuit and stupid not to allow it to be well known in their neighborhood exactly what their neighbors did to them and their daughter.
They were also stupid to allow their thirteen year old daughter have a myspace account, and since they did, to not make it clear to their daughter that people and what they type on myspace are not real. That it’s an imaginary world where anyone can say and be anything and anybody they want. If she had been older she might have understood that. I hate to say it, but the Meirs are stupid and they raised a stupid daughter.
Those adults who created the account are really sick. I also feel really sorry for the other teenage girl, who wrote one of the messages - she was told it was OK, but now she’ll have to live the realisation that she was lied to and because of that she was involved in causing the suicide of another girl.
I hate myspace. I used to have an account, but I don’t remember whether or not I deleted it. However, I do remember that I stopped using it because of all the stupid drama that was going on (ie, OMG I’m SOOO depressed because nobody’s said anything about my new picture! ahhh, I’m going to post some nasty and untrue he-said-she-said stuff to get more attention because the virtual world isn’t focused on me right now!), a few major technical issues that annoyed me to no end, and the now inescapable spam.
I can’t believe what I just read! That is totally evil!
Teenage girls can be cruel enough, but to add the experience of an adult makes for potent harrassment.
This story leaves me deeply troubled, and I think back to my own daughter’s struggles with her MySpace experiences.
“I’m sorry, Mr. and Mrs. ____, you human race membership card has been revoked.”
We have had the cyber crimes unit of the state police at our school and parish a couple of time. I would not be surprised if some of this activity was not a crime.
Thanks for posting this. I got the link in an email yesterday and it just made me ill.
” Your honor... they needed killin’”
The immaturity of the adults, all involved, is astounding. There’s the horrific immaturity of the parents of the so-called friend of the poor girl, then there’s the poor girl’s own parents whose reaction was to tear up the foosball table and dump it on the other family’s lawn.
It shouldn’t have been the foosball table they tore up.
A tragedy.
Some people are rotten to each other. The anonymity of the electronic medium is what some people use to hide their identity so no one will know how rotten they are. The internet is not the problem. Myspace is not the problem. It’s the downright complete inner corruption of some people. Rotten and disgusting, hateful people.
I got all teared up and a little emotional reading that.
How very sad and tragic.
Where have all the adults gone? Did someone take them away and leave only older teenagers in their place?
I continue to be astonished at the puerile behavior of adults in this age. They never grow up.
“sweet sixteen forever!”
