Myspace Hoax

“Prosecutors said Drew and two others created a fictitious 16-year-old boy on MySpace and sent flirtatious messages from him to teenage neighbor Megan Meier. The "boy" dumped Megan in 2006, telling her: "The world would be a better place without you."” She later hung herself. The courts said, “the jury had only determined that Drew had violated her terms of service with MySpace, not that cyberbullying had occurred. The terms prohibit the use of phony names and harassment of other MySpace members.with a belt in her bedroom closet.”
This lady, Drew, played along with this 13-year-old girl for four weeks, she knew what she was doing all along. The courts said that all they could do was charge her with a couple misdemeanors because all she really did was break federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, “which in the past has been used in hacking and trademark theft cases.” It’s funny that Drew attorney said that he doesn’t understand how the courts could even bring any charges against her. Drew her self says that she felt she didn’t do anything wrong. This lady should not have the right to even raise children. A person that bullies a child to the point of death and does not think that she really didn’t do anything wrong, there is something definitely wrong with her; how can people not see that?
Something that I really don’t understand is the fact that Drew is a 43-year-old woman, being an adult, was bullying a child, not even mentally developed yet, to the point of death and all that the courts can do is charge her with a few misdemeanors? What is going on here? What is wrong here?
