Not MySpace, It's Facebook!

No kidding.

Yeah that is just awful.

I can tell you for me personally it's a good way for me to stay in contact with friends who live out of state.

No doubt, those idiots would be crapping out pieces of that foosball table for days.

I just don't understand how no criminal charges could be filed and why the family didn't file a civil lawsuit.

[joelamosobadiah]

Nope

And a ton of my friends don't know how I can possibly live and breath in this world knowing that I don't have a myspace or facebook.

I, for one, am shocked you've made it this long and wonder how you're able to go on. Hang in there Joel.

Sometimes I cry myself to sleep at night wondering how I will survive one more day without it. I do, however, survive...

i started thinking about this at lunch. i am a bit skeptical on some of the details, as quite a bit of them could not be corroborated, and we're forced to take the dead girl's parents word for it. sad story nonetheless, but i doubt we're getting all the story.

[treat24]

wow, that is the saddest thing I've read today.

I started thinking that the parents could maybe have done a better job monitoring who their daughter had relationships with online. To me it seems silly for her parents to allow her to befriend a "young boy" she had never met. That "young boy" could have not been a young boy at all and sadly it turns out that was the case.

I agree. Of course this is a sad story with a horrible outcome, but I can't look past the fact that they were so careful to not give her the password and only log on at certain time....but let her send messages and have a relationship with someone she has never met and also leave without her logging off That seems a little fishy to me. Obviously you can't control and watch every second, but the way she was restricted in use doesn't add up with leaving her home alone still logged in.

Ever have one of those days when nothing goes right and you do something really, REALLY stupid. Like walk out the door without locking it. Or leave the oven on. Or leave the milk out (anybody living with a mom or wife knows that that's REALLY bad)

Could have been one of those things. Or the lady could have been trying to pass the buck by saying that she was more protective than she was. However, I do agree that whatever the case is she knew her daughter was having a "relationship" online and knew that it was serious enough her normal social life was suffering. That should have been a huge red flag.
