This is a real shame

A woman, her husband, and their teenage daughter played a cruel trick on myspace that lead to a suicide. I saw this on my aim mail.

Woman Goes on Trial in MySpace Hoax

LOS ANGELES (Nov. 19) - A Missouri woman, her teenage daughter and an employee used an elaborate Internet ruse to terrorize a 13-year-old neighbor girl who later committed suicide, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday.
U.S. Attorney Thomas O'Brien told jurors during his opening statement that Lori Drew helped create a false identity on the social networking site MySpace. Posing online as a teenage boy, Drew befriended Megan Meier, he said.

The evidence will show that Drew opened the MySpace account and "fully intended to hurt and prey on Megan's psyche," O'Brien told jurors. Drew is accused of harassing Megan with cruel messages that ultimately led her to take her life in 2006.
Prosecutors characterize the case as the nation's first cyber-bullying case, and the results from it could set legal precedents regarding online harassment.

Your thoughts?

The way the article described it, I think they pretended to be some dude, and got her to like them. and then like, trashed on her and broke it off.

Yup. Really old news, and really sad as well, as it was documented that the girl already had issues with depression.

Just curious, why post an issue/topic that was almost 4 years ago?

It happened about two years ago, not four, and the woman just went on trial.

A couple of nights ago there was a member on Bodybuilding.com that threatened to commit suicide. A few of the members, thinking he was attention seeking actually egged him on to do it. He set up a live web cam feed via some other site and did it live. Took some pills, a while later he lay down, an hour or so after that he stopped breathing. The mods of the forum tracked down his location and informed the police. The last bit of the footage is a cop busting down his door, and getting getting a medic to check his pulse to make sure he was dead before seeing the web cam and switching if off. Pretty f*cked up sh*t. I go on that forum sometimes for training and supplement advice.

My brother was telling me about that, he heard about it on another forum he goes on. Apparently /b/-tards have already gotten a hold of it

I'm pretty sure /b/tards were largely responsible for all the encouragement. Cancer, is all I have to say.
