MySpace Hoax
The MySpace hoax is a story about a adult who played a role as a 16 year old boy by the name of Josh and played with a young 13 year olds heart on MySpace. Eventually it lead to “josh” breaking up with Megan, who she ended up committing suicide in her closet the next day. The parents of Megan eventually found out and wanted to put this adult into prison for cyber bulling this young girl into killing herself, knowing that Megan had a history of depression. The adult “Drew” plead not guilty and the case will go on. The Mieres and the drews did meet before. She asked if she could leave her foosball table in her house for a little bit. When they found out she was involved in her childs death, they destroyed the table and left it in their front yard.
The thought of a grown adult messing with a young girl is very disturbing. Whether it is in real life, or behind a computer, she was one way or another harassing this little girl. She knew this girl had depression problems, but her excuse was that she just wanted to know what she thought of her daughter. That is still the same as stalking this little girl. Clearly it doesn't feel like it would be something a grown woman would do to protect her daughter. It seems more like she wanted to pick on someone to such an extreme level. This case in my oppinion has a horrible moral to it. All this could have not happened if she didn't make such a cruel move. Though there is nothing she did against the law, she messed up and is one pathedic excuse for a human being!

Even after breaking her heart, it still didn't stop there. She went as far as posting bullitens, slandering her name saying "Megan Meier is a slut. Megan Meier is fat" adding whip cream to the top of this whole mess, to the point where this girl killed herself. If anything, that is one thing one other thing I belive this case should take up on.
