I'm glad they are prosecuting her. Adults have a advantage over children in intellect and this should be treated similarly to statutory rape IMO.
This woman was not a troll she was PSYCHO...I hope they get her with both barrells for doing this to a child...They need to remove her children from her custody too -- she's not a very good parent to teach her kids to be like her...
Right on Dixie!! The woman is disgusting, seems to be one of those who tries to live her life through her teenage children with no regard for what little 13 year old girls feel. Young girls go through a lot these days even with responsible parents. This is a lousy way for a mom to behave. A little girl is dead because of her stupidity. 
Still, I understand there was also another teenager who has admitted being involved. It will be hard to prove who did what.
Fire -- while I agree there may be some gray areas as to who was involved, parents these days are proving they are not as mature as their kids when it comes to high school drama.
We've got cheerleader moms putting hits out on cheerleaders. Parents getting into fights with other KIDS because they didn't like a ref's call. Parents getting into it with refs because they think their kids are perfect.
There used to be a definite line between what was appropriate and inappropriate and many parents these days think they are still in school and have a bone to pick with kids they don't like. It's not even the parents they don't like -- it's the kids themselves...It's ridiculus and if they let this mom get away with it, how far will the next one go to get back at a child.
We tell our kids to grow up but we need to tell the parents to grow up and get a life...be the parent and stop trying to be your 13 year olds best friend -- that gets you too caught up in the drama...

What this woman did was cruel to say the least. However, if this 13 year old girl had been supervised correctly by her parents, the whole situation possibly could have been prevented.
This tragedy should serve not only as a warning to cyber-bullies, but to all PARENTS to be aware of what their kids do online. Cyberspace is full of freaks and predators.

Agreed lynnblount...I'm sure all the adults now regret their actions or lack of....so very sad!!
i agree it was sick, but I don't see a federal conviction. It will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe Myspace could sue in civil court.
I wholeheartedly agree with Dixie and Lynn. When I first heard this story, it made my stomach turn.
I do hope they are able to prosecute this woman, and get some justice for for that little girl. On the same token, the parents should have been monitoring the girl better, but hindsight is always 20/20.
I know one thing, when my child gets old enough to use the internet, he WILL NOT have one in his room, connected to the internet. A computer with a connection should always be in a common area of the house. I'm sure by then, parental safeguards will be more improved than they are now, as well. If it takes me using a spy software to make sure my child is protected, you better believe I will use it.
There are predators of all kinds online, and you can never be too careful when it comes to your kids. Even if you do have a good child with a good head on their shoulders. These predators can and will try manipulate them.
I feel so bad for this girl's parents. I remember how tore up her parents were on the news when this story broke. They do live with guilt over not doing a better job monitoring what their daughter was looking at. I hope they can find peace in time. I can't imagine how they feel.
The perpetrating woman/people, should BE completely ashamed of themselves. To go so far to tear someone else down, shows a severe lack of character and foresight. For an adult to do it to a child, is dispicable, cruel, and sickening.

Whoever did it, it's horrible. But the two families have had trouble for some time, if what I read is true. The other mother may not be guilty. Whoever is guilty should be made to answer, but it may not be possible to find out after all this time.

She did it. This is a partial transcript from the police over a issue after the death.
quote:In reference to their daughter’s suicide, Drew explained she wanted to “just tell them” what she did to contribute to the Meier’s daughter’s suicide. She instigated and monitored a “my space” account which was created for the sole purpose of communicating with Meier’s daughter. Drew said she, with the help of temporary employee named “Ashley”, constructed a profile of “good looking” male on “my space” in order to “find out what Megan (Meier’s daughter) was saying on-line” about her daughter. Drew explained the communication between the fake male profile was aimed at gaining Megan’s confidence and finding out what Megan felt about her daughter and other people. Drew stated she, her daughter, and Ashley all typed, read, and monitored the communication between the fake male profile and Megan. Drew went on to say, the communication became “sexual for a thirteen year old.” Drew stated she continued the fake male profile despite this development.
According to Drew “somehow” other “my space” users were able to access the fake male profile and Megan found out she had been duped. Drew stated she knew “arguments” had broken out between Megan and others on “my space”. Drew felt this incident contributed to Megan’s suicide, but she did not feel “as guilty” because at the funeral because she found out “Megan had tried to commit suicide before.”
Drew explained the neighborhood had recently found out her involvement in Megan’s suicide and her neighborhood has become hostile toward her and her family. Despite the recency of the suicide and several neighbors recommending she not confront the Meier family (especially on Thanksgiving), Meier stated she and her husband attempted to contact the Meier family three times, “banging on the door” although Mr Meier had already told them to leave.
If this "mother" as the quote states -- 'continued the conversation as the male even though it turned sexual for a 13 year old' couldn't they charge her with enticing a minor for sexual relations? She could be charged as a sex offender as well.
How could an adult be so stupid to play this childish game?
