Myspace Hoax Suicide
Filed Under U.S. News |
Myspace hoax suicide? The parents of Megan Meier were on the “Today Show” this morning in an interview with Matt Lauer. Megan Meier committed suicide in October by hanging herself after she was told some very cruel things by a boy she had met on Myspace.
The Myspace hoax suicide as it is being called has turned into a very sad story. It turns out that the person on the other end of the conversation was a family that was playing a mean trick on Megan Meier. This other family had a daughter that was pretty good friends with Megan until the two decided not to be friends anymore. As a result of this the mother of the other girl created a fake person on a fake Myspace account. The boys name was Josh Evans and Megan began to like him a lot until one day when he started to say really mean things to her. These mean things caused Megan to go up to her room and she hung herself.
The Myspace hoax suicide is a direct result of the actions of this family. The parents of Megan Meier, Ron Meier and Tina Meier are seeking justice for what happened to their daughter. They want to do everything they can so that this does not happen again to someone else’s children. You can read more details of the interview this morning on the “Today Show’s website. If we hear anymore breaking news about this story we will provide an update.

As details about Lori Drew’s 6 week cyber-voyeur techniques emerge, I am more convinced that outing this kind of behavior is not only right, but essential. Essential? Really?
It is becoming clearer everyday that Lori Drew employed many of the same grooming techniques that child predators utilize to charm their way into gaining a child’s trust. The most significant key here is that Lori Drew spent approximately 6 full weeks baiting Megan into this trust by posing as a “cute” boy that Megan would be attracted to.
Right here, Drew utilizes the sexual stimulation that exists in male/female pair bonding in order to manipulate the 13 year old girl.
Lori Drew groomed her victim like many child predators do, enticing her with flirtation, mild sexual conversation and playing on Megan’s weakness. Lori knew that Megan had a low self esteem and was treated for depression.
There are uncanny parallels between the typical Child Predator MOA and those utilized by Lori Drew to control and manipulate Megan in the relationship Lori developed with her.
Outing Child Predators has been public policy in most states and is usually upheld under the premise that the public has a right to reasonably protect itself from criminal behavior where it exists. Families with children have a right to know when those who might prey upon their child, live nearby. Public policy dictates that if a child is exposed to potential harm from predatory activity, then parents should at least have the opportunity to be aware such harm may exist.
But what if a child predator confesses to a crime, but is never convicted? Does the potential for risk exist despite the legal process?
Thus far, details in the case have been heavily supported by Lori Drew’s own admissions, police records and interviews. The amount of speculation in this case has been minimal, and the majority of public outrage has largely focused on the facts presented.
The Missouri Public Records Act of 1961 was enacted partially to inform the public of persons, events, proceedings and reports that may effect the public directly. The records (such as the charges Lori Drew filed against the Meier family), were the principal documents used to tie Lori Drew to her abhorrent acts. By filing this police report, Lori in effect put herself into the spot light. The Blogging community simply connected the dots and reported the results.
The Vice enjoys the sharp irony that Lori Drew’s own actions, activities and zeal to hurt someone eventually lead to her own uncovering. As I see it, public policy laws and Lori Drew’s own manipulations of those laws worked to her undoing. The Vice is appreciative for Lori Drew’s assistance in these efforts.
