According to this article:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071203/...ternet_suicide

there will be no criminal charges filed against the people who sent this girl the cruel messages. After the case went public, however, lawmakers have been asked to review state laws in order to better deal with internet bullying cases in the future.

Ok, this whole story was sad, but I laughed when I read that. Y'all know why.

Someone posted on another board I read that this blog is from the mother who created the profile: Megan Had It coming

Wow... I can only hope this blog is a fake, because this is downright scary to read.

Under the assumption that it's real: An adult, a parent, doing to a 13 year old girl the very things that were tearing her daughter apart.

She claims that she merely encouraged others to stand up to Megan, and that in the process "oops" some thing slipped out. Sorry. Uh uh. she should have taken away MySpace from her own daughter, or gee, made her profile PRIVATE. How can you 'prank' on someone whose profile you can't see? To turn around and inflict it on the perpetrator does not make you some beacon of internet justice, it makes you a vengeance-seeking hypocrite.

And then to keep your mouth shut because "well they lost their daughter, what could I say?" How about telling them everything you knew, witnessed and participated in. How can a parent be so callous when another parent loses a child... Oh because covering your ass and keeping your mouth shut clearly trumps honesty.

The fact that her blog's name is "Megan Had It Coming" just goes to show that Lori Drew feels no remorse whatsoever for her hand in Megan Meier's suicide.

She feels confident enough to tell her "story" to the world now that she knows charges will not be filed, but in reality, she should feel damn scared as hell for the vigilantes who'll stop at nothing to make sure Lori Drew pays for what she's done.

I hope that this haunts her and eats at her for the rest of her life.

I don't know what bothers me more...that she seems to have zero remorse for what happened while "defending her daughter" or that she is defending what she did.
