Angry So Tragic: Mom: Web hoax led girl to kill herself

I was reading about Megan last night on mydeathspace.com (THANKS SHANN FOR ADDICTING ME) ~ then today yahoo had this news article about her. Its so tragic what that family did to her & her family. How can adults behave in such a way?, and not even care? its a sad sad world.....

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071117/...SeoIsybUpvzwcF

Quote:
DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Mo. - Megan Meier thought she had made a new friend in cyberspace when a cute teenage boy named Josh contacted her on MySpace and began exchanging messages with her.

Megan, a 13-year-old who suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder, corresponded with Josh for more than a month before he abruptly ended their friendship, telling her he had heard she was cruel.

The next day Megan committed suicide. Her family learned later that Josh never actually existed; he was created by members of a neighborhood family that included a former friend of Megan's........
http://www.mydeathspace.com/article/...cyber_bullying

Megan Meier (13) hung herself in her closet after becoming the victim of cyber-bullying

Quote:
His name was Josh Evans. He was 16 years old. And he was hot.
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Look at him!" Tina Meier recalls her daughter saying.
Josh had contacted Megan Meier through her MySpace page and wanted to be added as a friend.
Yes, he's cute, Tina Meier told her daughter. "Do you know who he is?"
"No, but look at him! He's hot! Please, please, can I add him?"......

Do they know what that she commited suicide? Man people can be cruel to each other. That is so sad. All she wanted was a friend.

this is sickening, the fact that grown ups would participate in something like this. that they would stand by and let their child say such awful things to another person

Someone using Josh's account was sending cruel messages. Then, Megan called her mother, saying electronic bulletins were being posted about her, saying things like, "Megan Meier is a slut. Megan Meier is fat."
I feel so bad for Megan's family. I realize she had a part in this too, but frickin A, how could someone allow their child to be so cruel and heartless, I really don't know what to say, my heart just hurts for this family and I do hope some form of punishment comes about to those involved, being a kid/teenager is hard enough w/o the name calling especially posting it all over myspace.

dv8grl, I apologize for addicting you to that site, I didn't mean to

The family that did it don't seem to have any remorse. How can they live with themselves. They knew her and the problems she had. I can't believe the mother of the other family said she doesn't feel so bad about it because she had tried suicide before. And no charges were brought against them either. They might as well have given her a gun and told her to do it. And they don't even have the common decency to move from the neighborhood like they've done nothing wrong. Some people don't have any conscience at all I guess.

I will say this Megan's parents are much better people than me. There is nothing and no one that would've stopped me from getting to them.

There should be some kind of law against this. If there are laws against manipulating children sexually then there should be laws against ****ing with there minds also.

They're adults and know that there are consequences to their actions. Maybe they didn't plan for her to die but still? It's like a drunk driver getting behind the wheel and causing a deadly crash. They didn't plan for the crash to happen and take someone's life but it did and they are responsible. So should these parents be.

This is so vile and disgusting. Something like this just makes me so angry.

I read about this last night and i am the kinda person who turns the other cheek.....i was so shocked that a supposed sane mother could do this because she wanted to see what this poor little girl was saying about her kid.....blahhhhh!!!! I think the witch that did this should be charged with murder I hope she(the mom) rots in hell....can we say karma!!! If it were me i would be suing the crap out of her for wrongful death.....I would have to be held back from that witch for sure.......My heart goes out to this family.....her mom and dad are divorcing since she hung herself....

I know quite a few attorneys that would love to sue the family that did this to that little girl. And I would volunteer to be on that jury. How many zeros can you put after the $ 9................................... ????

It was a neighborhood mom who did it to her. Megan's parents were on CNN this morning. This mom did this to their child because Megan had a conflict with this other mom's daughter.

The woman has no remorse for what she did at all. It is just sick.

Unfortunately they said they can't charge her with anything.
