Megan Meier Myspace Suicide? Megan Meier was a young girl at only 13 years of age. She had met this boy named Josh through Myspace.
Megan Meier had become good friends with this boy and he had helper her to really cheer up her outlook on life. That all changed one day when he started saying cruel things to her. Things that were so cruel that Megan Meier was crying a lot and very upset. Her mother had been trying to get her to sign off of Myspace and she wouldn’t. She started to argue back in attempt to defend herself.
Later that day Megan Meier went up to her room and ended up ending her life by hanging herself. The tragic event was all caused because people were being mean to this girl. She had been struggling in life with her weight and her self-esteem. When kids are in that situation it doesn’t take much for the to feel completely worthless. Let’s hope something like this never happens again. You wonder if kids will ever learn to not make fun of people.

What a real shame. Kids find all kinds of ways to be cruel to one another, but when you throw in the anonymity of the Internet, they can be especially harsh.
Parents should always keep tabs on what their kids are doing online, but they most certainly need to take a good inventory of their child’s self-esteem and emotional well being before allow them to participate on social networking sites in the first place.
Turns out that the website was set up by the parents of a former friend (girl)of Megan’s. The two girls had been friends a long time and had a falling out. The ex-friend’s PARENTS set up the phony Myspace with the assistance of an 18 yr old male employee.
They tried to lie about their responsibility in Megan’s death.
They ought to be tried for online bullying at the very least, and be civily sued for everything they own!
I hope the bastards who did this will pay and feel bad for what they did
The so-called adults who did this have been outed on many a blog around the internet. While I sincerely hope nobody decides to enact some vigalante justice on the family, I do believe they should be held accountable for their actions in their own community. I know if this were to happen in my town I would want to know who it was so I could make sure my children don’t get involved with theirs, and also so I could make sure I didn’t patronize their business. I understand why the media would want to protect the daughter of the woman who created the fake myspace account. However, perhaps the best way to protect her is to show her that what her mother did was absolutely deplorable. The best way to do that, in my opinion, is to have the community where they live shun her. They need to be run out on a rail!
Lori Drew is a psychopath. That part is clear.
But more disturbing than that are the actions of authorities: If it had been an adult MALE that “carried on” in a sexually explicit way with a 13 year old girl, even if it WERE for the purposes of revenge for his teen daughter, he’d be locked up as a pedophile.
Second, there are al-READY laws on the books that cover this type of harassment. For chrissake: just implement them!
What is particularly chilling to me, is that Lori Drew knew that the victim was known to be suicidal in the past. That means that her statement to her that the “world would be better off without you” or whatever it was… is even MORE chilling: it means she was TRYING to steer this girl to suicide. It means she had a desire to push it in that direction, and did so.
Reminds me of Charles Manson. He never “technically” put his own hands upon his victims either, but he “made it happen” by manipulating people, I mean that’s the premise upon which he was convicted: that he had INCITED it.
Same thing here. Lori Drew incited this suicide and should be just as responsible as Manson was when he incited those murders—and she should also be treated just like any other adult who engages in online relationships of a sexual nature with under-aged children.
How can an adult pretend to be someone they are not then act like they did nothing wrong? We wer taught as very young children not to lie and to take responsibility for our actions and now this parent feels she is innocont of any wrong doing. Are you crazy lady? You should be committed until you are no longer a danger to others. If it had been my child that would have been the least I would have wanted for you and any other children you might come in contact with as well as your own. Somebody needs to take up for her daughter, if she is doing this to another child what about her own.
