Suicide of a child...

I have recently read about two different situations where cyber bullying has ended in a 13 year old girl to kill herself. the one I found the most information on was a girl named Megan Meier. The worst part about it was that the cyber bullying came from someone she met on myspace that she thought was a secret admirer-as it turns out, it was the mother of a girl that Megan stopped being friends with. I will post a link to some articles on the situation. I know that this has nothing really to do with the class, but it is something i want people's opinions on.

I think that the woman should be held accountable and shouldn't be getting any compensation for the vandalism of her property by the people in her neighborhood.

there is also an article in the PEOPLE magazine issue for December 3

I ask that my classmates read this and please tell me how you feel on the topic.
