QUOTE The parents of a 13-year-old Missouri girl who hanged herself after a failed MySpace romance — later uncovered as a hoax — say they have yet to receive an apology from the family they blame for their daughter’s death. “They’ve absolutely offered no apologies,” Ron Meier told TODAY co-host Matt Lauer on Monday. “They sent us a letter in the mail, basically saying that they might feel a little bit of responsibility, but they don’t feel no guilt or remorse or anything for what they did.” Rather, said Tina Meier, the people are upset with her for going public with their story. Last week, while shopping, she ran into the woman who invented the hoax, Tina Meier said. “She asked me to stop doing all of this,” she told Lauer. “I told her that we would not stop, that we were going to continue for justice for Megan because we knew what they did.” The Meiers’ daughter, Megan, hanged herself Oct. 16, 2006. The Meiers have not named the people because they do not want to identify their teenage daughter, who had once been a friend of Megan’s. After the two girls had a falling out, the mother invented a 16-year-old boy, “Josh Evans,” created a MySpace account for him, and made Megan believe he was new in town and thought she was cool. read more: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21882976/?GT1=10547 WTF? What kind of mother would ever do that?! Do you think the parents should press charges? |

No.
Although I so sympathize for the family, it's in no shape or form the other family's fault. She should nt have fallen in love with someone she met over the internet. |

I definitely don't think the parents should press charges, though I'm sure they could (and win).
That is the most ridiculous thing ever, but is that really all that she commited suicide over? Or was there something else that no one is aware of and the whole myspace thing just happened to be at the same time? Either way, it really isn't the other family's fault. It's the girls fault for taking things so seriously on the internet. ![]() Though, I don't understand how the other family couldn't feel sorry about it, or even a little upset. They definitely should apologize, its stupid that they didn't. |

I believe it's ridiculous and unethical for a person to not feel sorrowful for what they have done, and not even appologize. In fact, I think it's even worse the mother took part of the issue even though it was a teenage fight, and by taking this situation of proportion made a faux person that made her happy, just to crush her in the long run. How ridiculous. This makes me pissed.
stupid ass families pissed me off! They are so f**ked up. |

But I do think that her parents should press charges. I mean, wth type of mom is so immature to mess with some young girls love life? And then she goes and kills herself! Thats effed up. |

I knew there would be a topic on this soon.
I think the mom should tried a child predator. The mom is freaking physco, she did all of that just to see if the girl was talking about her daughter behind her back. I hope she feels guilty for the rest of her life. The mom new she was on meds and was depressed and still did that. God, thats horrible. |

It's pretty stupid that the mother did that. I could understand if it was Megan's friend... because kids are more likely to do that kind of thing. It's really immature for a grown woman to do something like that. Sick, in my opinion.
I think if the girls parents press charges they have a pretty good chance of winning (esspecially since it was an adult doing it). Granted it's sad, in a kinda pathetic way, that the girl would hang herself over a myspace romance. |

Firstly, I think the mother that created the hoax is just.. sick, I guess is the word. An adult, a mother, doing such things. It's horrible. It makes it even worse that the family feel no sympathy, and will not apologise. It is kind of sad but Megan did have other reasons to commit suicide, not just an online relationship breakdown. I guess this was just the one thing that pushed her over the edge.
If there were charges pressed, the family of Megan has an alright chance of winning IMO, considering it IS against an adult. |

wtf. the mom(tina meier) said she kept a close watch on her daughter's account and even had the password and shit. if this harrassment was going on they could have done something about it. they would have seen it and they being the adults would have been a step further than a 13 year old. wtf up with that. and the mom that created that josh character just cuz of some spat between two thirteen year old girls is just ridiculous. these ppl don't know how to raise kids. mother's shouldn't be involved in their daughters lifes in this type of way. stupid and immature. what a stupid and cruel person she is

What that family did was sick. They better get in some trouble. I agree. That's really disgusting and the fact that the parents who did this don't seem to care at all is disgusting too. Parents like that are not parents in my opinion. They claimed that they made the account to see if this girl was talking shit about their daughter. They should have just stayed out of it and let the two girls resolve it on their own. |

monitor your children..
my mom had a tracker on my computer when i we first got one and till i was 15 and she left. i hate her till this day for doing that. so i dont think that is right. then again if you have a children with issues, you should like that girl who hung herself. my mom did it to just have control and rub in our faces. pathetic. "The Meiers have not named the people because they do not want to identify their teenage daughter, who had once been a friend of Megan’s. After the two girls had a falling out, the mother invented a 16-year-old boy, “Josh Evans,” created a MySpace account for him, and made Megan believe he was new in town and thought she was cool." "She allegedly told the St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department she created Josh’s profile because she wanted to gain Megan’s confidence to learn what Megan was saying about her own child online." they must have been really mean to each other or the mom has some issues on gossip.. |

The girl was disturbed and I'm sure this was bound to happen from what the parents said. i don't think they should press charges it's their daughters fault.

I definitely feel the family should be sued. She was a 13 year old girl for the love of Satan! So what if she fell in love online? Is that a crime? Since when has that become 'disgusting' or 'prohibited'?
I also find the mother to be pathetic and mentally deranged. Involving yourself in a teenage drama? How low can you go? I think they should be sued. |

^ I agree. There'd at least be some defense/sympathy if it was the little girl herself who made it, but for a mom to do that. She cleary knew what she was doing.

I don't care for what the people did in the first place but I think they should only be charge for making a hoax. I don't think the people should take the blame for the girls death. First, the girl parents should have monitor her more, and she is too young to be all free on the computer. Her parents should have paid more attention to what's going on in their daughters life, reasons, because some parents don't talk to their children enough(maybe that's the case, they probably could've prevented this).
I don't think the other people expected for it to go this far. She probably lied about her age. If they new her age maybe they wouldn't have done it but there is sick people in the world. Another, parents need to watch and look on their kids myspaces because of things like this. I think the whole situation went out of hand. |

I almost agree whole-heartedly with you, but I don't thnik they should be charged for making a hoax. It's an internet profile: The majority of them are most like to be fake. But other than that, I totally agree with oyu. |

They knew her password and she wasn't allowed on unless there was a parent in the room. They pretty much took all the preventive measures they could have. |

The parents had the girls password and she couldnt get on unless her parents were in the room. I highly doubt the girl was lieing about her age. |

They may have had the password but the question is, did they even bother to look at her profile and look through the comments and messages she received? A parent can never monitor their child enough, imo. Now the lying about her age was a thought because that's what young kids do (I have back in my day, she had to lie). I think her parents shouldn't have allowed her to have a myspace profile because she too young. She not even old enough to have a myspace and that's where the parents fail. They should of read the terms and conditions. It clearly say in bold letters you have to be 14 year of age or older. They should read it or made her read too them out loud. My mother made me do that, I understand now, and I thank her for it. |

Yeah it is her fault but I read somewhere that the mom was messaging her and suggesting that she killed herself. Wth does that? All they did was have a fight and then she goes and suggests that she kills herself. That girl's mom has issues. |

Her parents DID check! The terms and conditions? I don't think so, it didn't say so. I believe if her parents read the terms and condition, they wouldn't let her sign up on myspace. You have to be 14 years of age or older. She was too young. "Megan, a girl who had battled attention deficit disorder, depression and a weight problem for much of her young life, believed him, despite her mother’s warnings to be cautious." If their daughter battled attention deficit disorder, depression and a weight problem. Why would they let her on myspace? You have to be strong minded to deal with some people on myspace and the internet itself. She was young and naive. They killed her with words. |

I think [this is just my opinion] they let her have a myspace because they wanted her to have a regular life and now, online services like myspace are becoming a part of regular life. I think they thought they were safe enough to have their daughter give them her email and pasword just to check up but not to interfere with her life. Her mother warned her about him she should have listened. In the end its her fault. How can your parent protect you from yourself? |

I think it her parents fault, why? Because she is only a child. Yes her mother warned her but she didn't do enough for me. Okay lets say her parents read the terms and conditions (which I doubt they did) and they allowed her to create an account anyway. I think they should only let her add and accept friends she knew personally. When I made an account on myspace, even though I was old enough. My mom would sit with me and ask me about every person on my friends list, and she would ask me to tell her one fact about them that's not mention on their profile. Her mother could have done what my mother done. Now what you said about myspace being people's regular life. I somewhat agree. The people that made the hoax was wrong and her parents was wrong on their part too. You can't blame it all on the people. I blame the parents more because they have the power as her parents to have prevented all this and they didn't handle the situation the right way and monitor her right, imo. |

I only say it was her fault because she knew that she was depressed she knew that people online weren't always going to be nice. I agree with you about the parents tho. I don't think they handled this situation right and they could have done more. But she might have been hiding things from her parents as well witch would make it her fault again. She was young and she wanted her independence so I'm guessing she probably did. |

My mom used to tell me (and still does) "When you live under my roof you have no privacy. Your privacy, my privacy" She don't need independence, she too weak minded for independence. I put all the blame on the parents and some on the people. The people can do so much. It the parents job to stop it. sorry it was so long. edit/// Her parents knew she was depress. If I was them I would've been more stricter on her because of her problems. |

Well good for you and your mom, but do you know how many parents do that? Not many. So just put that ideal aside and focus on the crisis at hand: Every f**cking kid on the planet has a myspace. This creepy pervy mother who was upset over her daughter and Meghan getting in a fight, so she makes a fake myspace account and feeds this girl a lie and they get into a relationship, and the mean while Meghan's parents are warning her, but they're not prohibiting her from anything because they want her to live a normal life and they think she has the proper judgment on who to trust and who not to. Then this creepy kid starts getting mad at her and tells her they can't be friends anymore, and Meghan, who is depressed, gets upset but can handle it, but then this f**cking woman told her that everyone would be better off without her and Meghan overreacts and killed herself because she is clinically depressed. Where in hell does this woman have the right to say that to a young impressionable mentally unstable child? To anyone, for that matter?! WTF kind of mother would EVER do something like that? She damn well better get charged with something. I don't see how you're getting off with saying that it was Meghan's parents' fault--they were more involved in her online life than most parents. They read the messages. They knew what was going on. |

^ thats ok at least it was well written and not a bunch of crap. Anyways, What about hte messed up mom? You don't blame her for suggesting to Meagan(sp?) that she kill herself? Yes I blame her (when I say "the people" I meant her). THAT'S when the little girls parents should have step in, really. It stated that the parents had her password and look at her messages. That tell me that they didn't look through it carefully, if so, they would've saw the comment or message. One thing about the internet. If someone get out of hand like that. You can always cut off the computer. That's the good thing about. But the blame always fall back on top of the parents because they didn't monitor her right. They didn't read the terms and conditions. It's your parents job to protect you, even from yourself. |

All parents want for their child is to have a normal healthy life [unless your one of those messed up attention seeking parents.] So I can see why they were so loose with her especially since she was depressed. They don't want their daughter to have to live out her days in a asylum or anything like that. They want her to be regular, herself. But besides from the normal fact. They should have monitored her better. I mean unless she's smart [like me! lol] and deleted the messages [permanently, as in deleting the files in the trash bin.] they could have never even known that he was saying these mean things to her. |

No matter what you do to make this sound nice, its not going to work.
The entire family is f**ked if you ask me. It's their fault for allowing their daughter to chat up some guy she didn't even know, and then let it become so serious. Any way you twist it, it's all sick, disgusting, and wrong. Everyone is at fault. |

i dont believe the parents were tracking their daughter more than any other suburban family.
they probably meant password by signing into the computer and not myspace account password. "Her parents knew she was depress. If I was them I would've been more stricter on her because of her problems." no one ever really thinks it would happen to them. "I only say it was her fault because she knew that she was depressed she knew that people online weren't always going to be nice." idkkk only 13? you don't realize or really understand online bullying or really bullying in school. |

WTF SHE WAS 13 NOT 7. ONE YEAR DOES NOT REALLY CHANGE YOUR MATURITY LEVEL. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO HUNG UP ON THAT? Calm the fuck down Yes it is. But how are they gonna stop you from killing yourself? Well I guess you could lock her up but she'd hate you for the rest of her life and shed probably find some other way to do it. All parents want for their child is to have a normal healthy life [unless your one of those messed up attention seeking parents.] So I can see why they were so loose with her especially since she was depressed. They don't want their daughter to have to live out her days in a asylum or anything like that. They want her to be regular, herself. But besides from the normal fact. They should have monitored her better. I mean unless she's smart [like me! lol] and deleted the messages [permanently, as in deleting the files in the trash bin.] they could have never even known that he was saying these mean things to her. Since when having a myspace having a normal life? No I'm not a attention seeking parent (never will be), just a parent that care, that's all. This girl didn't need myspace to have a normal healthy life because as you can see, it wasn't healthy at all. If I was her parent I would have let have an myspace but I would have made her wait a year. She could do other stuff. I don't think those girls was her only friends in the world. Now, she could've went out to the mall and hang out with friends, have sleep overs, and read a book or something. She don't have to live her life in a asylum. She just need to get out the house. Myspace isn't everything. I'm passionate about my dislike for thickheaded people. Again, calm the fuck down Wow seriously. The the other girl's mother would have never even done anything, THIS WHOLE THING WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. Do you not comprehend that? The reason she got a rope and hanged herself is because of what the girls mother did. Parents cant protect their child 24/7. They were checking her myspace, they tried to let her have a normal life. I dont know how many time you were dropped on your head as a child, but normal people dont blame the parents for another persons wrong doing. I dont get how that is even funny. And whats your idea.. to be her parent? To be her parent? No, yes I would've handle it differently though, I tell you one thing she would've been dead. No, parents can't protect their child 24/7 but they can damn try. They have so many child protecting computer programs out there, and all these child blocks and spy software, it isn't funny. I understand every thirteen year old child has a myspace but that don't make it right because they have one. The point I'm trying to make is if she didn't have a myspace, this crap wouldn't have happen. I know there is responsible thirteen year old out there but kids like meagan make it hard for them. "normal people dont blame the parents for another persons wrong doing." Yes they do. I'm not saying the other mother wasn't wrong. But I'm not going to put all the blame on her either. I put the blame all of them. There is so much that women can do, all they had to do is turn off the computer. I heard they live down the street. If Maegan and her family felt threaten, they could've called the police. "I dont know how many time you were dropped on your head as a child" Calm down, you didn't have to go there. Ok to sum it all up. If her parents monitor her right, this probably wouldn't happen. If they didn't let her talk to people she didn't know, this probably wouldn't happen. If she didn't have a myspace at all this wouldn't happen. She could've waited a whole year. Her parents shouldn't have let her lose on the internet. Now that's my opinion rather you agree or not. We can argue this all day but this isn't going to solve anything, she is already dead. I don't know if anyone could've stop her from hanging her self but it's worth a try. I stop someone form killing themselves and it wasn't that hard but it depends on the person too. I can see this girl was easily influence. If the right people got a hold to her, they could have stop her. I know some kids have an way of making the parent feel it ok. But she had to be awfully weak minded and I know she's young. But how can you feel that way about someone you didn't even know? This is a sad situation and I feel for the parents and I don't like what that lady did. |

I wouldn't be surprise if they shut myspace down for good. Or rise the age restriction. You may have to be 18 to be on myspace. It's seriously getting out of hand |

That bitch needs to be executed for what she did.You would think a grown f**king woman would not stoop to that level and even go as far as to say that you would hardly feel bad for what you did.theres something really wrong with you right there if you feel that way.

She obviously felt like she knew and understood this person really well. She was already having troubles with her friends and probably didn't have very many, so to finally find someone who understood her would have been really exciting. She had all this shit going on with her friends and then she loses the one person that gets her and likes her? That would be completely traumatizing. She lost everyone who liked her, everyone who understood her. She didn't really have anyone to relate to.
It doesn't fucking matter whether a person is on Myspace or not, if you know the person through the internet or not. They're still a person. Why is meeting someone in person then flying to a different state and getting to know them on the internet make them any more important to you than meeting someone on a forum and getting to know people? I don't understand why people think that the location of someone should make them any different to you. The fact that some girl lives in another state shouldn't discredit my friendship with her. That's dumb. |

You know.. if you're gonna commit suicide and go to hell cuz your self esteem is pathetically owned, why not kill those people who you would love to wreak vengeance upon? Just seem selfish that you would kill yourself without at least killin someone who crossed your trust/friendship, right?
