“What astounds me is that parents who know their kids are being threatened, taunted, etc., online, don’t think of pulling the damn plug!”
How dare you inject common sense into the discussion! LOL! This kid was a psychological mess long before the on-line hoax took place, and this girl’s mother was nutz to allow this on-line romance to continue based on the alleged Josh never calling or coming over to meet with her daughter. How naive is that? This family I smell, was a mess also, as evidenced by the quick divorce that took place after their daughter’s death. As to the Drews, they tried to make overtures to discuss the matter, but were rejected. Who knows what their side of the story truly is. This whole thing smells. If I were the Drews, I’d pull up stakes, move out of town, and contemplate the dangers of the internet and their possible culpability on taking a bad joke too far.
What sort of loser adults talk to a 13 year old online for the sole purpose of harrassing her and making fun of her?
At the very least the Drews are not part of a bad joke. They are true scum.
Interestingly enough, they run a business out there. Talk about bad publicity to the extreme:

Good grief...thank you for that...I thought I was the only sane person on this thread.
This child needed help years ago...hence the divorce; one parent probably wanted to get the poor thing some help while the other was in denial.
Pulling the kid out of school because she was being "bullied;" and years of depression (for a 13 year old...FGS) should tell you something.
If that wasn't enough; hacking up the foosball table should tell you everything you need to know about the parents.
The final telling fact: the lawyers won't touch it with a ten-foot-pole. You know they've shopped it around....the background info must be a doozie.
