BBC: US 'cyber-bully' mother indicted

From BBC: US 'cyber-bully' mother indicted:

A Missouri woman who allegedly used a fake MySpace profile to bully a girl who later committed suicide has been indicted by a federal Grand Jury.

Lori Drew, 49, allegedly posed as a boy on the website to befriend Megan Meier, 13, who hanged herself after he broke off the virtual relationship.

It is alleged that she killed herself after receiving several cruel messages, including one purporting to be from the fictitious 16-year-old boy - named Josh Evans saying the world would be better off without her.

That's just really cruel. With everything that's been happening in the world, it's just cruel.

Haven't been posting because work has been quite crazy, but keep an eye out for more recycling news hopefully to be done this weekend, when I'm going to hole up in solitary and confine myself, away from the world's cruelties and the unimaginable hurt that it can create.
