" LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A federal grand jury indicted a Missouri woman Thursday for her alleged role in perpetrating a hoax on the online social network MySpace against a 13-year-old neighbor who committed suicide.
Megan Meier, 13, hanged herself in her bedroom after being targeted in a MySpace hoax. Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis is said to have 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.
Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006 after receiving cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her."

I am really saddened and somewhat angered. How old was this woman? Why would you do such a thing? Maybe she got teased when she was little but it does NOT excuse this sort of behavior.
This really is something that shouldn't have happened

YES! I was hoping that this woman would get what she deserves. What a sick, SICK individual. This is a situation where I can easily point to and say "Justice works". Now lock her away, please.

Praise the Lord! She deserves this and a whipping with a cat-o-nine-tails for deviously driving a 13 year old child to committ suicide.
What kind of psychotic, sociopathic, no-life-having hag has to resort to crapping up the kids' social network, perpetating a lethal fraud, just to find some meaning in her own worthless life? She deserves to be put away for good for this outrage.-

It is very sad that this girl was so full of shame that she felt she had to kill herself.
This won’t go anywhere. No one can be held accountable for someone else’s death by typing/texting them, concealed identity or not.
Every printed or viewed item in the world would be at risk, freedom of speech would die.
