    "(She) stated in the months leading up Meier's daughter's suicide, she instigated and monitored a 'my space' account which was created for the sole purpose of communicating with Meier's daughter.................."(She) said she, with the help of temporary employee named ------ constructed a profile of 'good looking' male on 'my space' in order to 'find out what Megan (Meier's daughter) was saying on-line' about her daughter.

    Wow! What a great pass time for a (supposed) adult and parent! To show your own kid that it's somehow funny to pull this kind of bullshit, just boggles my mind. If this were my kid that committed suicide over this, that bitch who did this would be pushing daisies.

    "According to (her) 'somehow' other 'my space' users were able to access the fake male profile and Megan found out she had been duped. (She) stated she knew 'arguments' had broken out between Megan and others on 'my space.' (She) felt this incident contributed to Megan's suicide, but she did not feel 'as guilty' because at the funeral she found out 'Megan had tried to commit suicide before.'"

    Typical tackic of a Sociopath: try and minimize what you did and pass the blame off to the victim. I can't believe she's not going to be charged. I'd make sure every person in my neighbourhood knew who it was that did this.

    Unbelievable that there crackpots like this out there who actually breed.

    My son is on My Space often and after reading this, I told him that I need to see your contacts on it and if there are any that I don't know, my daughter had better know them or delete them. I told him I'm going to read a couple of messages from all of his friends (says he knows them in person from before my space), to know if he should keep them or not.

    I made my daughter read the article last night. She says kids at school love drama, but she'd never heard of a parent getting in on it. She had tears in her eyes when she finished reading it. My son read it also.

    My daughter has a my-space account, but it is set to private. Everyone on her friends list is a real-life friend from school, or a relative. I'm on her friend list and I know her password, just so I can keep tabs.

    I just finished reading that. That is the first time I have heard of that story. I have heard of other stories. It is sad that kids today are so mean that they would say something so hurtful. Even sadder that the person being told these words have to end it completly by ending their lives.

    People can be so crule

    I sincerely hope that this horrific incident is being brought to and being discussed BY the people involved with this hoax. I think they NEED to be made aware of the repercussions of their "joke" and be made to deal with this outcome by devoting themselves to doing community service etc. This should NOT just pass off into the land of the forgotten news---but should be held up as an example of what can (and DID) happen to this girl and ultimately---to her family.

    HOW does someone find out who HAS their own "Myspace" sites?
