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?"

I hate to say it, but the Meirs are stupid and they raised a stupid daughter.
That is the type of comment I would expect on DU or DailyKos. The next time you 'hate to say' something, refrain.

In his book,
Bias, Bernard Gldberg said that the biggest unreported story of the '90's was the huge number of "latchkey kids" in our society.
Goldberg said that the reason the media doesn't report on this is because they have their own latchkey kids.

Since the web was involved perhaps the FBI can come up with somethigmn,I seem to remember fedral ant-stalking and anti-harassment statutes involving weband phone. Uh huh... the Violence Against Women Act (or some such title, that one doesn't seem quite right). IIRC, it extended the federal anti-stalking statutes to e-mail/internet.
The "adults" that perpetrated this could conceivably be in deep shiite.

I heard it on America’s Newsroom Fox’s program on in the morning between 9 & 11 am EST yesterday. Megyn Kelly did the story. There’s a link to a video of her interviewing the mother of the dead child. I don’t know if it will have all of what was on yesterday’s show. Megyn then talked to 2 lawyers about why the DA couldn’t go after the hoax family. There was talk of charging them with a misdemeanor of harassment, a civil suit and that the DA should dismiss out of hand the hoax charges against the grieving family for destroying the ping-pong table.

This is absolutely infuriating. If this was my kid, you’d hear about me on the news. The adults involved are pure evil. Satan will have a special place in hell for them when they die.
In the meantime, I don’t know why the parents won’t pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. It won’t bring their daughter back but a big fat judgment against these pieces of crap parents would send a message to the next losers who think of doing such a thing.

I notice you don’t disagree with my conclusions. You just think I am rude for making them. People need to be aware that it isn’t ok to be stupid and naive when dealing with online predators. I stand by my post.

We have had the cyber crimes unit of the state police at our school and parish a couple of time. I would not be surprised if some of this activity was not a crime.

I think the gist of it is that a mother, daughter and a temp worker created a fake myspace account in the persona of a “cute boy” to lure in and harass a neighbor girl who had problems with depression until the neighbor girl hung herself. The police can’t figure out any criminal charges to fit such an account, so the three got away without so much as a slap on the wrist.

Megan’s parents were neither stupid nor naive, and certainly Megan wasn’t stupid.

The immaturity of the adults, all involved, is astounding. There’s the horrific immaturity of the parents of the so-called friend of the poor girl, then there’s the poor girl’s own parents whose reaction was to tear up the foosball table and dump it on the other family’s lawn.
It shouldn’t have been the foosball table they tore up.

A tragedy.
Some people are rotten to each other. The anonymity of the electronic medium is what some people use to hide their identity so no one will know how rotten they are. The internet is not the problem. Myspace is not the problem. It’s the downright complete inner corruption of some people. Rotten and disgusting, hateful people.

And consider this. I remember kids for whom every day of junior high was like this. Home schooling looks better and better all the time.

Where have all the adults gone? Did someone take them away and leave only older teenagers in their place?
I continue to be astonished at the puerile behavior of adults in this age. They never grow up.
