Oh, God, how horrible. Poor little thing.

But you know, jail won't take the cruelty out of this woman.

It's about time.

People have to be held accountable for their actions while on the internet. It’s a shame that there are not state laws about to protect people and that it has to go to the Federal level to have the case heard.

I agree Aksarben! Hopefully the states will begin to step up to the plate and put things in place!!

In many ways, that myspace thing causes more trouble than its worth. Im in the middle of making up my own web page, where I can monitor everything that goes on and who can visit. Players and drama wont be a part of it.

i was on the myspace forum and someone told me to kill myself. i couldnt believe it i reported him and he got kicked off but i dont think thats enough

me0123 it doesn't seem like enough to me either!! I am glad you took action.

I was glad when I heard the news about this woman being charged. The internet is a wonderful tool for information and connecting people. The problem comes from not really knowing who is posting information. In real life you have a variety of visual clues to protect you. This woman was just evil and society needs to be protected from such hurtful people.
