myspace hoax

Megan, a girl who had battled attention deficit disorder, depression and a weight problem took her life away when hateful bulletins were being posted about her online by a boy. The myspace hoax to me does seem as intent of malice. The main reason is because this girl didn’t like Megan so that right there signals a red flag because someone got hurt even though they say it was a “joke” it wasn’t funny at all. Someone’s life ended because of this stupid “joke”. Cases like this really make me wonder what wrong with our world today. Honestly what kind of grown up does that? Part of being a parent is being mature and teaching your children right from wrong instead of spreading nasty rumors and lies she should have persuaded her daughter to speak to the girl an resolve their differences rather than seeking revenge. Just like in the movie one twisted lie can have many outcomes and most of them aren’t so good. Just because it’s not a law it doesn’t mean it still isn’t morally wrong. I think its sick how nothing was done because “no law was broken”. Even though I believe there is enough evidence to prove otherwise. To the victim’s family, stand strong; because this can’t be it justice will be served. Or is there no justice in this world? Are we doom to a life were the innocent are condemned and the guilty are let free. This needs stop here for once and for all. For Megan and all the victims of cyber bullies and not just those, school bullies as well. As parents we also have to make sure we are doing as much as we can to prevent these sort of things from happening to our loved ones.
