- dimmerswitch, on 11/15/2007, -13/+369That's truly f**ked up.
- dagnabbit, on 11/15/2007, -3/+250What a sad, sick story. People fighting on the net is one thing. Adults setting up a false account to do nothing but torment and humiliate a young girl is disgusting. And neighbors at that.
- Alright, on 11/15/2007, -12/+233suicidal teens shouldn't have myspace accounts. no one should have a myspace account
- milkmage, on 11/15/2007, -4/+191so maybe emotionally fragile kids shouldn't use myspace, but WHAT THE ***** IS WRONG WITH THE ADULTS WHO CREATE A BOGUS ACCOUNT JUST TO ***** WITH A KID?
- vroom101, on 11/15/2007, -14/+197good article that'll leave you speechless and upset...it's very emotional.
- speedwank, on 11/15/2007, -11/+178Assuming that this is true, it should go out to Reuters and/or Associated Press like NOW!.
As one commenter (on the publication website) said; "It's one thing to be 'bullied' at school, but it's another thing to have your parents do it for you". Another reader commented; "After reading this, I can only say that, like 90% of our problems, it isn't "These kids nowadays," but "These parents nowadays.""
There is a legal case to be made concerning criminal accountability here, but it may take Federal rather than local Prosecutors to bring the much needed action against the perpetrators. Why the local DA is refraining from bringing action is utterly beyond me. Why the FBI has declined to move ahead with this is baffling. The only conclusion I can draw, is that perhaps the fathead SA or AIC doesn't have any understanding of what actually happened. Ridiculous to think, but what on earth other reason could there be for responsible law enforcement not moving ahead on this?
People, please - Digg this up all the way, for once this should be on the front page. Shouts everywhere - hell shove it on Reddit and any place else it'll get read and re-broadcast elsewhere. Perhaps that will cause someone in the law enforcement hierarchy to reconsider their position in this matter, convene a Grand jury & indict these *****. (pardon my language, but I'm not retracting the epithet).
Whatever is done, it should be soon before whatever evidence there is gets tanked, and everyone experiences conveneient memory loss. - nepawoods, on 11/15/2007, -3/+140"The internet is truly the most corruptive thing on this planet."
The internet isn't to blame for a morally sick and depraved mother stooping to what that woman did to trick her daughters ex-friend. - bambam630, on 11/15/2007, -6/+140I've found the street the family lives on. I wonder which ones are the neighbors...
- Feener, on 11/15/2007, -28/+141"As for 13-year-old Megan, of Dardenne Prairie, this is how she expressed who she was:
M is for Modern
E is for Enthusiastic
G is for Goofy
A is for Alluring
N is for Neglected."
No she didn't, she did a stupid quiz and copy and pasted the HTML to her profile. It annoys me when people think these are genuine things, like that kid who put his income at $250,000 and over, then got arrested for drug dealing and the news or whatever source I read about it from thought it was real. - lhbaker, on 11/15/2007, -2/+107I can't even think of something funny to say. If somebody did this to my daughter, I don't think I'd be able to think rationally for a long, long time.
- nobullshit, on 11/15/2007, -56/+159worst writer ever
- syroncoda, on 11/15/2007, -13/+94this country is full of sick *****.
- growlzor, on 11/14/2007, -2/+75Beyond ***** up. I'm speechless right now
- 89vision, on 11/15/2007, -3/+73Aside from the fact that its totally ***** cruel and wrong, what kind of adult has the time to pull something like this off?
- MikeonTV, on 11/14/2007, -12/+82This is The Great Gatsby of sob stories.
- nepawoods, on 11/15/2007, -11/+74it would serve that family right if they fear for their lives
- inactive, on 11/15/2007, -21/+77wow... that's as depressing as it gets. God bless the Meiers & Megan. on a side note, i have many problems with religion but the one i find most reprehensible is the teaching that "if you kill yourself, you go to hell".
no you don't. - Jareth86, on 11/15/2007, -2/+57Holy *****, I'm SO glad I didn't have to deal with cyber bullying growing up...
- ophello, on 11/15/2007, -5/+53When I have kids, they won't be allowed to use myspace.
- Arkavus, on 11/15/2007, -6/+54If you want some ejustice you'll enter it to public knowledge. Then those responsible will be found, and they will cancel their internet before it is over. Unless they have a dog, then we're *****.
- sinrtb, on 11/15/2007, -1/+46From the article it seemed like the parents were very vigilant. In fact they were much more vigilant then most of the parents out there. I think that was the most troubling bit of the article, the fact that the parents did everything they could to monitor their child's online activity.
- Ajajadude, on 11/14/2007, -9/+53High school is a bitch, isn't it?
- jbird71, on 11/15/2007, -1/+44Because there's no justice like angry mob justice!
- jokerthief, on 11/14/2007, -3/+45Agreed, that was difficult to read.
- bambam630, on 11/14/2007, -5/+45So you're saying a girl with a history of depression and who you say is weak for killing herself shouldn't have been in therapy? Yeah, you're an idiot.
- dxgg, on 02/05/2008, -1/+39Very sad...very scary. As a father of a "pre-teen" it hits hard.
- mklopez, on 11/15/2007, -3/+39Once it hits the Digg front page (and believe me, it will), then the big media outlets will pick it up. Maybe the publicity will make a difference in changing the law
- jstone, on 11/14/2007, -4/+40Anonymous is legion.
Anonymous does not forget.
Anonymous does not forgive. - skews13, on 11/14/2007, -19/+55are there any men out there left with a pair? if that were my daughter.i would show these people terrorism they couldn't even imagine.you don't involve the authorities in a case like is.you involve sharp metal objects
- Ajajadude, on 11/14/2007, -5/+39I wish these people could live a long life where everday was a day full of more pain than the parents of that girl feel. That's just well beyond ***** up.
- Typhoon2009, on 11/14/2007, -6/+40If I was the Meiers I would've put a ***** of fertilizer in that *****'s house and let the fireworks fly. I await for someone to find the address, phone number, and name of the person who did this twisted *****.
- RollFizzlebeef, on 11/14/2007, -4/+38Newsflash, douchebag: people are WEAK in all sorts of ways.
In your case, you spit on the graves of teenage girls who kill themselves.
In mine, I can't seem to forgive douchebag pieces-of-***** who spit on the graves of teenage girls who kill themselves. - userspacename, on 11/14/2007, -0/+33This country is not unique in that regard.
- Saiing, on 11/15/2007, -7/+39>It's so ***** it's just beyond ***** up.
You want ***** up? I'll give you ***** up...
Yesterday there was a story on Digg about a 14-year old kid who pranked a bunch of mp3 downloaders into thinking they'd got letters fromt he RIAA. Stupid, annoying a childish, but wait..what's that... Oh he was 14.
And yet within the first dozen or so comments the braying mob of ***** that inhabit this godforsaken place had published his address, a photo of his house and users were posting messages such as (and I quote) "I have sent him a death threat" and actually being dugg up for it.
Every single one of those pathetic little ***** that took part in that disgusting exercise deserves to be treated in EXACTLY the same way as "the family down the street". You are the lowest of the sickening low and should be banned from ever posting here again. - nepawoods, on 11/14/2007, -0/+31from article:
"She was informed that without her direct comment the newspaper would rely heavily on the police report she filed with the St. Charles County Sheriff's Department regarding the destroyed foosball table."
The foosball table incident was Nov 25th, 2006. Police reports can be requested here: http://sheriff.sccmo.org/sheriff/index.php?option= ... - vroom101, on 11/14/2007, -1/+31Remember this story?

via http://digg.com/world_news/An_IM_Infatuation_Turne ... - SpykerSpeed, on 11/15/2007, -17/+47Well, if you kill yourself you put everyone who was close to you in a hell-like situation. So it's an extremely selfish and stupid thing to do.
- shinythingy, on 11/14/2007, -3/+32i find its people who have never even contemplated suicide have this opinion. When you are in the state of mind to do this type of thing nothing else really comes into your mind. Trust me
- Damian91, on 11/14/2007, -3/+32My kid isn't getting a myspace/social networking until they're ready, they won't add people they DO not know, it will be set to private. My sister is ***** 13 years old and she knows all this stuff. But I understand the girl, she was really depressed and finally found someone that liked her. Horrible mistake, her mom should've known not to just trust a stranger like that, my god, and last thing when all the people were talking about her in bulletins I wouldn't be yelling at her, that just makes matters of her depression worst. I would've kept her close by me throughout the day and express to her how many people are just stupid and not to take it seriously. The "people suck" life lesson is a very tough time for teens.
- nepawoods, on 11/14/2007, -4/+32Sick parents like that are a disease. So sad they can't be eliminated.
- pintomp3, on 11/15/2007, -1/+29god bless temporary insanity.
- Ajajadude, on 11/14/2007, -1/+28You'd think the local authorities would look into whether or not they're fit to be parents. It's kind of scary to think what they could be teaching their daughter
- nepawoods, on 11/15/2007, -1/+28go to: http://www.saintcharlescounty.org/desktopdefault.a ...
click on 'advanced search'

Corrected that for you. - ldude69, on 11/14/2007, -16/+42Sad story, but can you guys actually understand what the article's trying to say? The guy who wrote that is TERRIBLE.
- knde, on 11/14/2007, -1/+26This was #1 on Reddit earlier today ,and resulted in over 350 comments last time I checked. It'll surely blow up when it hits the front page of Digg as well.
I still can't believe that "parents" would do this to a child! One that they know and have most likely seen grow up alongside their own daughter. It's chilling. - WolverineBlue, on 11/14/2007, -0/+25Or anything remotely dangerous; diggers aren't too fond of real life danger.
- nepawoods, on 11/14/2007, -3/+28Not that I would ever recommend doing anything with the information, but it is amazing what public information you can find just sitting at your desk.
go to: http://www.saintcharlescounty.org/desktopdefault.a ...

Now, if you go by this: http://primaryreason.blogspot.com/2007/11/outrage_ ... , it's narrowed down to one of those three.
And http://whitepages.addresses.com/white_pages.php has the phone number listed. - musicpyrite, on 11/14/2007, -6/+29You're allowed to say the word "*****" here, we're all big boys and girls.
- banmaster, on 11/14/2007, -4/+27Same here. Especially the 1st half, I had to read it twice to understand it.
