We spoke of the suicide of Megan Meier last November here at MCB.
A woman accused of “cyber-bullying” a 13-year-old girl into committing suicide was indicted Thursday.
Lori Drew, 49, of O’Fallon, Mo., is accused of setting up an account on MySpace.com, along with others, to pose as a 16-year-old boy, “Josh Evans,” in 2006.
Ashley Grills, a 19-year-old employee of Drew’s, told “Good Morning America” that she created the fake MySpace profile, but said Drew wrote some of the messages.
She said it was Drew’s idea to find Meier on the Internet and see what she was saying about Drew’s daughter, a former friend.
Apparently the courts don’t think highly of this, and nor did we back last year. One of the things in the brought up repeatedly in the comments was we didn’t think that Drew would be punished.
Apparently we were wrong.
