This lady shouldn't have children

[Momo-P]

I know the title may sound harsh, but trust me. She shouldn't.

The fact that Megan died is really depressing, but even if she didn't? A grown woman shouldn't be behaving that way! Making up fake identities just to monitor her daughter's friends is paranoid enough, but then hurting the girl? Does she think she's in middle school too?

CBS evening news has been running a report on checking what children have been doing on the internet this week.
This one sort of looks like the other teen's parents should have known better than to do something soo unforgiveable.
My guess they thought the girl was doing bad things and told her off without confronting the girl's parents about what she was saying on the internet and could have help her instead of causing a stuation like what happen.

B(C) alert: Why does the owner of Myspace (the much maligned Rupert Murdoch) have anything to do with this story? Because he owns Myspace? *sigh*

This is pretty screwed up, though... That woman should be arrested or maybe sued for wrongful death, and sued into debt. On one hand, I understand about not wanting her kids to be insulted or mistreated by this girl, but the woman was an adult, and this girl was a teenager... Reading the lines and a little between them, I sort of picked up on the idea that this girl had been spreading rumors about this woman's kids, and this woman did this to get revenge... Which, to me, is understandable but still wrong.

Not to detract from this, but ABC certainly is detracting from it with their little comments about myspace /rupert murdoch on there... shouldn't be using this as an opportunity to take potshots at their competitors ("Users on MySpace must be at least 14, though Megan was not when she opened her account. A MySpace spokeswoman did not return calls seeking comment." So because someone fakes their age, it's Myspace's fault...)

Learning from this stuff, though... I wonder if my trying to correct people I think are behaving wrongly may result in something more tragic than what they've done to me or whoever it is I am trying to avenge or protect...

I heard this story from someone in another chat room. I want to punch the lady. If she only took the time to view all angles of the story, none of this would've happened.

This whole thing is crazy, and it's all just adding to the paranoia of online communication. What I find most disturbing is that the family who created the fake account doesn't care about what happened.

In other news, Rachel Higuchi mysteriously vanished off the face of this earth.

thats a terriable thing to make up a person and then a girl kills her self? what is this world coming too?

...."Josh Evans".....

.....I'm scared.

That's sick. Of course you can't really say it's anyone's fault that she killed herself, since it was her choice, but still.
