Blog 8 December 7th

I read an article in the People magazine called a Cyberbully Convicted. Its all about the case of Lori Drew who was seen to have led to a teen's suicide by cyberbullying on the site myspace.com. Myspace is a place where anyone can go, make a profile and upload things about themselves, and communicate with they're friends. Lori Drew is the mother of Megans best friend Sarah, created a profile and called herself Josh, pretending to be a boy. Lori could be charged with three Internet related misdemeanors which could lead her to a 3-year sentence and a $300,000 fine. The end result is not yet final. Lori has testified by saying that since Megan suffered with depression she was probably already suicidal which means that she thinks she had nothing to do with Megan's suicide. I believe Lori had a significant part in her suicide and I can't believe that a mother of a friend would go this far with her daughters issue.
