The story about the girl who killed herself is so sad. I think this highlights exactly why "helicopter parents" should be feared. Being proud of your children and their accomplishments is one thing, but involving yourself to the degree that this woman did is ridiculous! Apparently, the girl killed herself after essentially being dumped online by a boy on myspace. The boy was really a fake account set up by a neighbor who wanted to monitor what the girl was saying online about her daughter. By being too obsessed with her own child, she played a part in destrouing the life of another. I have to hope that she understands what she did wrong.
