Myspace Hoax

What do I think about the MySpace hoax compared to the film? What should be done about the situation?

As I see it the MySpace hoax was an unnecessary prank carried out by unintelligent individuals that eventually lead to the dead of another young girl. Just because the little girl of Lori Drew didn’t like the Megan Meier isn’t a good reason to play around with her head and feelings. In the MSNBC article I was reading it stated that people knew Megan Meier was emotionally detached unstable and depressed and was also taking medicine for it. I think that the mother made a bad decision to help her thirteen years old daughter get back at another girl ,who they had spent time with as families at activities, just because she up and didn’t like her. The mother of Megan Meier is right in pleading that Lori Drew gets the max sentence which would be 3 years in prison and $300,000 fine. To me that would be nowhere near what I would want to see happen to mother daughter and co-worker who all had a part in the hoax. The fact that the mother has no remorse for messing with Megan Meier is bad and disgusting but that she would actually go bragging to people that she is making a 13 year old hormonal teenager fall for a fake boy is just sad. But before I go slandering this woman I must keep in mind that all my information is coming from a source that will do or say anything to sell and get reader. I only have the sad side of the mother and I don’t have the complete story of what happen just bits and mostly what the news wants you to hear.
