Parents Want Jail Time for MySpace Hoax Mom


"That's the biggest tragedy of this whole thing: An adult did it," Ron Meier said.

is it? or is it that your teenage daughter is dead? man oh man.

And it was his wife! The girl's own mother!



His wife is the one who broke the rules and allowed their underage child have an account. So she gets a good amount of blame too.

im not trying to pit the blame on anyone. regardless of who is to blame, and who isnt to blame, the tragedy is the dead teenager. end of story. im surprised this story got as much ink as it had. ive heard a lot of people talking about (of course i heard it here first though)

Yeah, the story has picked up some momentum, this was the first place I read of it, but a few days after reading it here I saw it pop up other places.

I wanted the mom on one of the morning shows yesterday. She doesn't seem very grounded and is clearly looking for someone to blame. Jail time is absurd.

It's all just terribly sad.

The feds have indicted the woman who began the whole thing with the hoax MySpace account. They're using a new application of a law typically used to go against hackers, so this could be interesting.

If nothing else, it will get a precedent in the system so that it can be fine tuned via the appeal process.
