Girl Commits Suicide after Myspace Hoax Options

[breakingdawn]

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.

WTF? What kind of mother would ever do that?! Do you think the parents should press charges?

[1angel3]

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.
