A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted a Missouri woman for her alleged role in perpetrating a hoax on the online social network MySpace against a 13-year-old neighbor who committed suicide. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Suck it up baby!

Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis allegedly helped create a false-identity MySpace account to contact Megan Meier, who thought she was chatting with a 16-year-old boy named Josh Evans. Josh didn't exist. Boo who!

Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006 after receiving cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her.

I would put the parent on trial for allowing her daughter to be victimized and not monitoring her child's mental health a little bit better. The TV is not a babysitter, and the internet is no place to let your kid wonder around in. Would you leave your kid in a mall with hundreds of strangers? Well the internet has hundreds of millions of whackos! Parents need to start taking responsibility for their children's wellbeing. Nuff said.

i have been on myspace for 3 years now. there are alot of creeps on their. you just need to delete them or don't authorize them. that was a mean prank that went sour.

I agree that the parents should definitely be monitoring what their kids are doing on the computer but what
I find the most appalling about this story is that this prank was not being played on the young girl by her peers, it was being played by a Mom!!! Shame on her!!! It just makes me so sad
