I think it should at least be made difficult to continue to live there.
Reaping what they have sown, with interest. Let’s see how much they enjoy being harassed and mind-gamed. They sure had no qualms about doing it to a teenager.
That said, I feel bad for their own teenage daughter.
They thought it would be fun to screw with someone, and now they are learning what it is like to be screwed with.
I hope the police don't waste any resources on them that could be used more efficeintly elsewhere.
They made their bed: let them lie in it.
At the very least, they should move out of that neighborhood..
I should hope so. There are numerous grounds for prosecution.
Whatever happens to these people, happens to these people.
This case just blows me away. These are supposed to be ADULTS? And they do something like this?
I doubt very seriously that they will stay in that neighborhood for more than two or three more months. There probably isn’t a single neighbor who will associate with them and they won’t be able to count on anyone for help when they need it. Some punks from the area...will eventually choose their residence as the “egg” target...and some folks might go for stronger punishment. Even selling the house....will be difficult...with a $20k discount to probably get people interested into buying it.
I have a guy at work...over 30 years old...who acts like this on practical jokes now to almost everyone who knows him. Over the course of five years...people have stopped laughing at the jokes and can’t take him serious whatsoever...yet he still does his games. I had to cut the guy off from any conversation with me...unless its strictly professional...and I’ve started the practice in the office of others doing the same thing. There are no welcome points for this guy anymore to pull his practical jokes.
We all know characters like this...who live off practical jokes and will do stuff that is way beyond just “fun”...and in this case with the teenager...this was no longer “fun” and I can’t see anything being gained out of a game like this.
More evidence of the existence of Evil among us. Only an evil person would harass a teenager for kicks.
Their punishment will come in the hereafter.
Error in the article. This sad incident didn’t happen in “Dardenne Prairie, Ill”, it was thanks to Curt and Lori Drew of Dardenne Prairie, MO.

When I was a kid I thought adults were somehow different from children. Then I grew up and realized how many people never actually became *adults*. Sure, they had adult faces and bodies and were allowed to do adult things. But they will always be immature children by nature.

I have always told my son that adults are just large children.
Well, yes, but there actually are those of us who take being adult as a serious thing. Even tho we might think of doing childish things, we also remember who we are and that we teach kids how to behave simply by behaving that way ourselves.
susie
Yes they do.
‘Though police and prosecutors have investigated, a year later, no criminal charges have been filed against the woman who allegedly created the online profile, and it’s unclear whether any will be brought. ‘
As noted on Ingrahams hosted ‘The Factor’ in BOR’s place, there is a federal law that pertains here, and should have already been used to charge at least the ‘mother’ that perpetrated this hoax.
They deserve all of this an much, much more. Karma will get them in the end.
“I should hope so. There are numerous grounds for prosecution.”
So calling somone names under a fake moniker is illegal? Goodbye internet.
