I used the term heli-parenting because she used the excuse that she was trying to find out what Megan was saying about her daughter on line to others, and that is why she used a ficticious my space account, to gain Megan's trust. It's sick if she truly believes that the ends justified the means in this case.
I think you are more on the mark that she was trying to be her kid's "friend".
This story ranks up there with another extreme case of "parent from hell" - the cheerleader mom in Texas.
