The Heart Break of Karma

[Junket]

I remember one story where a 13 year old girl stopped hanging out with a friend of hers down the street and she started talking to this boy online. They had a blast online for about 6 weeks. She had fallen for him. Then one day he started saying she was mean, that no one liked her, that the world would be better off without her, that he never wanted to talk to her again... she hung herself in her closet. And the kicker? The boy was a fake. It was a fake myspace profile created by the parents of the girl she stopped hanging out with as revenge.

Here's an interview on that case.

That girl in above post ^^^ had some SERIOUS emotional issues. After viewing videos like that one, I will try everything in my power to increase my child's self-esteem without the use of her feeling dependent on others for her happiness.

I see this in relationships too...people saying that their significant other maintains their happiness. That is not a good sign and may lead to serious emotional breakdown if a breakup occurs. A partner is not to maintain ones happiness, you should already generally be a happy and stable person whether you are in or out of a relationship.

I've seen a few of them. It's sick. The parents are assholes.

The kicker is the parents of the neighbor girl were using Megan's parents to hold a foosball table that they were going to give someone for Christmas. When this happened, the foosball table was still at Megan's parent's house so they put it in the other people's driveway and took and axe and sledgehammer to it.

The neighbor girl's parents sued them. ****ing pricks.

I just learned that prosecutors are trying to charge that bully mom in federal court.

I just learned that prosecutors are trying to charge that bully mom in federal court.

What are they charging her with? No crime was committed.

Something about trying to use the same laws that are based on hackers. They are not sure if they will be successful but that is all they have right now for this type of internet "crime". I am not familiar with how that works.

[Cain]

Laws they use with hackers? That case won't even make it to a jury.

[lesa]

The parents of that girl is just grieving so much and want someone to pay somehow. There is not much they can really do and I am sure it is frustrating for them. I do not think they will be successful.

[Cain]

It doesn't matter what the girl's parents want. A prosecutor won't even be able to get this case in front of a jury. Any competent attorney will get this thrown out.

[lesa]

Indeed, the case doen't have a tiny chance...but the publicity will result in new laws being form for these types of situations, maybe.

This incident has been known for a year. It's gotten all the media attention it's going to get.

Jared, that sucks. It sucks just like being betrayed in person.
