Jury Convicts Mom in the Cyberbullying Case of lesser charges
I had recently read a story about a mom who was in legal trouble for cyberbullying. The case involved an Internet hoax that caused a thirteen year old girl to ultimately commit suicide. The mother and two others created a fake Myspace account. They said that they were a sixteen year old boy. They sent messages that were flirtatious to their neighbor who was named Meghan Meier. The girl obviously thought this boy really liked her a lot. Subsequently these cruel people decided to dump Meghan and it hurt her emotionally. They even said that the world would be better without her in it. I mean a mother should not have done this. I was appalled when I read this story. I mean these people hurt this girl emotionally which ultimately led to her committing suicide. I mean as a parents how can you take part in such cruelty? I mean your job as a parent is to guide your children and help them make good,positive choices and you do something like this? This news story really struck a chord with me because parents should look out for other children, not torment them. What do you all think?
