Title: Woman charged over fatal MySpace hoax
Post by: Guchi_Jnr on May 16, 2008, 04:08:53 AM
A United States woman has been charged for her role in an internet hoax that ended with a 13-year-old girl committing suicide after being shunned by a boy who did not exist.
Drew allegedly helped create a MySpace account to contact her teenage neighbour in Missouri, who thought she was chatting to a 16-year-old boy called 'Josh'.
After three weeks of online flirting, 'Josh' sent the girl a message saying that the world would be better off without her.
Prosecutors say within hours the 13-year-old had hanged herself in her bedroom. (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/16/2246412.htm)

I always thought this lady should be charged with something.
