Megan Meier - MySpace Tragedy

Today I heard about Megan Meier, a 13 year old girl who committed suicide after an on-line breakup with a fictitious boy named “Josh Evans”. The fake account was created by three women; Lori Drew, Ashley Grills, and Sarah Drew. Sarah and Megan Lori who is 49 years old was convicted of three misdemeanor charges of unauthorized access to computers. The parents of late Megan Meier, Ron and Tina stated they have received no apologies from the women who are responsible for Megan’s death. “They’ve absolutely offered no apologies,” stated Ron, and they seek justice. “Although the drafters of the federal constitution were men of vision, they could not, of course, foresee the changing needs of our country and its people in the years to follow.” (Essentials of Business Law, Liuzzo, pg. 5) the board of aldermen in the Meiers' hometown, Dardenne Prairie, Mo., passed a law making Internet bullying a misdemeanor in the town, and apparently Lori Drew faces a possible sentence ranging from probation to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine for each misdemeanor count.

In my own personal opinion I think this woman should be shot. What kind of 49 year old immature “bitch” would do such a thing to a 13 year old girl?! This story makes me so angry, to know there are low life, petty, disgusting, ADULTS in this world who like hurting younger innocent people. I feel as though this mother and her daughter had no business bullying Megan, they were both aware of her fragile mental condition, they were aware she was depressed and taking medicines, and to inflict emotional distress on a suicidal person is just stupid. “Both ethics and morals are concerned with standards of right and wrong.” (Essentials of Business Law, Liuzzo, pg. 19) How could they have not known the outcome of their childish, stupid acts! I am outraged and I sincerely hope these women pay for destroying a family, ending a life, and causing grief to the remaining family members.
