Having read the story of the MySpace hoax, I’m appalled that grown-ups would be involved in such a thing. The mom in question, Lori Drew, claims she got involved to find out if then, 13 years old Megan Meier, was spreading unsatisfactory comments about her daughter so therefore she created this fictitious character named Josh Evans.
“Josh” quickly became friends with Megan, messaging back and forth on a daily basis. Constant monitoring of the site was done by Lori, her daughter and a colleague. Suddenly, it went sour, hateful messages were then sent which caused Megan great grief.
With Megan already a medicated, depressed soul, she took all this to heart and committed suicide.
How cruel. I seriously don’t believe Lori Drew wanted the child dead, but it was a senseless act to begin with for her to even be involved in something so petty and childish. Had it been just her daughter, it would have been a lot more understandable. Children, especially teenagers are usually hurtful towards each other, but for an adult, a parent, to get caught up in that sort of scheme is down-right wrong.
I do believe she should be punished severely especially since someone lost their life dud to their particular prank. She does deserve some jail time and all the other parties involved should also face circumstances.
As a mother, I can’t imagine losing a child. Maybe to an injury or a disease, one can understand, but to the hands of someone pulling a cruel prank, that’s just unforgiveable. Lori , being a mother herself should have some remorse knowing how it would feel if she was the one to lose her child to some senseless act.
People should really wise-up. Think of consequences before taking actions. Choose your battles, and parents should know what they’re getting into when dealing with teenagers. They’ll always be vendettas among them, but it should be approached with less evasive methods.
