Evil Bitch Charged Over MySpace Suicide

A Los Angeles federal grand jury has indicted a woman for her alleged role in a MySpace online hoax played on a 13-year-old girl who later committed suicide.

Lori Drew (someone you'll see in hell), was indicted on one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorisation to obtain information to inflict emotional distress. Each count of the indictment carries a penalty of up to five years in prison.

Lori Drew allegedly created a fake MySpace account to contact neighbour Megan Meier who thought she was chatting with a hot 16-year-old boy named Josh Evans.

The online relationship between "Josh" and Megan bloomed for several weeks before the tone suddenly changed. On October 15, 2006, Josh sent Megan a message saying, 'I don't want to be friends with you anymore because you're not nice to your friends'. That post triggered a flood of hate posts from other users.

"All of Josh's friends and all of Megan's friends were calling Megan a whore, a fat ass. Calling her all kinds of god awful names," Megan's mother said in an interview last year.

The next day, after telling her mother, Christina "Tina" Meier, about the increasing number of cruel messages like, "Kill yourself...Go to hell," the two got into an argument over the vulgar language Meier used in response to the messages and she did not log off when her mother told her to. After the argument, Meier ran upstairs to her room. She was found twenty minutes later, hanging by the neck in a closet. Despite attempts to revive her, she was pronounced dead the following day. According to Meier's father and a neighbor who had discussed the hoax with Lori Drew, the last message sent by Evans read: "The world would be a better place without you."

Drew and her co-conspirators "used the information obtained over the MySpace computer system to torment, harass, humiliate, and embarrass the juvenile MySpace member," the indictment charged.

What a horrible world this is. You can't trust your ugly but seemingly nice neighbour - You can't even trust your own mother, literally. So, who can you trust? No, not me. :P Put your faith in God, not humans.
