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.
It has now been publicly disclosed on several sites that the name of the lady who perpetrated the hoax is Lori Drew.
Mrs. Drew is guilty of bad judgement and being mean and spiteful and malicious.
Mrs. Meier is guilty of signing her child online at myspace and allowing her to believe it’s normal to have a romantic “relationship” with a faceless nameless entity.
Kids don’t belong at myspace under any circumstances. In fact, they really have no business on most of the Internet.
I believe there is much more to this story than what’s been reported.
