antiaircraft Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 This is a rather sad story: http://www.abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=3903188 I mean seriously: a parent - who should know how damaging cyber-bullying can be, and who should be a pillar of the community - befriends a child (who she knows) online under a fake identity, then begins abusing her AND encourages other children in the community to do the same, finally driving the child to the point of suicide. This is a gross misuse of the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midtime Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yeah, that's really cruel. I thought only madmen in movies did something that mean and thought of it as 'revenge'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levy Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 This is horrible. Anyone here who thinks that Myspace should be shut down say 'Aye' Really, Myspace is more hurtful than helpful. And if I can live without it then anyone can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'm not sure if there's a legal way to shut it down actually, although I guess they could sue it. Still, 'Aye'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fable Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I heard about that Megan girl who hung herself. Pretty awful things human can do to oneanother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/04/us/04sui...PNYbJxLMMW8VMIQ Apparently some top brass guy said that there wasn't sufficient evidence to press charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 This is ridiculous. I can't believe an adult would do this. But I suppose that like all bullying, you just have to ignore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Well for some people that's possible (like me, since I have no life...), but in this case the girl was driven to suicide. I guess it comes from having somebody get close to you and then turn on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiaircraft Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Well apparently she's protected by the law. :sick01: I mean, seriously, protecting people like that under the law? That's just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Anytime one of my friends brings up myspace I say the same thing, and they will finish it for me I say it so much, "Myspace is the fastest way to get raped or killed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 I'm not into social networking or such, but they should at least regulate those sites better. And this girl wasn't killed/raped - she was upset to the point where she committed suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Technicaly I consider her killed, because she is dead because of other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 The thing is, this is somewhat worse than straight killing because the girl's emotions were messed with until she couldn't stand life anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
