Cyber-bully indicted in teen suicide

[lorettalockhorn]

A federal grand jury in Los Angeles today indicted a woman of fraudulently using a MySpace.com account to "cyber-bully" a Missouri teenager who later hanged herself because she believed she was being rejected by a 16-year-old boy she met on the social networking website.

Lori Drew, 49, of O'Fallon, Mo., faces three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress on the girl and one count of conspiracy.

It's gratifying that she was indicted anywhere. Our laws have to keep pace with the times.

I'm glad they are able to at least try to get that evil woman on something. If you read the article linked to that one, it seems she cared more about her foosball table than the fact that she drove an emotionally unstable little girl to kill herself. :mad:

Who Know's Maybey She Did It For Some Sick Thrill's. But The Sentence She Got Isn't Sufficient Enough In My Opinion. She Drove A Unstable Girl To Her Death It's Really Sad How Someone Would Do Something Like This.
