“I’d say the adults that knew this was going on are responsible.”

I agree. They are responsible for what they did. She is responsible for what she did.

You say they knew she was menatally ill. I did not see that in the article. Keep in mind that I believe that, just as all human beings have blemishes here and there in their physical appearance, we are ALL mentally ill to one degree or another, or in one way or another.

I really can’t believe that so called adults would act this way. Like someone else said—loss for words.

[Ptarmigan]

I remember hearing on Michael Savage that being truly mature is when people have children. It changes people and at the same time they mature truly. Sadly, that’s not always the case.

[beaversmom]

I know what you are saying. These people had a child for goodness sake. How could anyone act like that with a child of their own. Must be a sociopath. Scary stuff!

Hey, that’s me.

And, oh yes, the Drew identification is very certain.

It's not OK and she's not fine. And consider this. I remember kids for whom every day of junior high was like this. It's surprising that the teen suicide rate isn't higher than it is.

It didn't help that the girl who killed herself was somewhat unstable to begin with, and was on medication. That fact was known by the adult woman who participated with her daughter to inflict emotional distress on the girl, along with an employee of MySPace.

Given the fact that there were 2 adults involved here, one of which was an employss of MySpace, it seems that this will be seen as a target rich environment by personal injury lawyers.

Thanks for the update link...

This is just terrible. I can’t believe adults were behind this.

[iowamark]

Maybe I missed something, but where do you get a Myspace employee being involved in this?

[MarkL]

Sorry, it may not have been in the article. A local radio station interviewed the dead girl's mother. It turns out that the way the other family learned private information about the dead girl's MySpace account was from a MySpace employee, who agreed to help them.

Goldberg said that the reason the media doesn't report on this is because they have their own latchkey kids.

Thanks for reminding me of that.

Bernard Goldberg is the only member of the MSM (well, ex-MSM now) to report honestly about the catastrophe created by our country's general acceptance of the "two income family" and its resulting victims: the daycare child and the latchkey kid.

You know that stat about 90%+ of journalists voting for Democrats? I'd bet 90% have also dumped their kids in daycare, or have latchkey kids;
and probably 80% have had abortions (or pressured a partner into having one).

Six thirty in the morning and I’m crying. This is so sad and sick I don’t even know where to begin.

[crazydad]

You are spot on.. It would be a gloomy day in my neighborhood should this happen to my daughter. My oldest just went through a bunch of girls playing the I am your friend today but dont know if I will be tomarrow crap. I would be in prison cause god only knows what me and my boys would do!
