A Missouri woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with the suicide of a 13-year-old girl after an exchange on the MySpace network with a 16-year-old boy who did not exist. Lori Drew has been charged with conspiracy for inflicting emotional distress on Megan Meier, who hanged herself in October 2006.

Drew was charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to get information she used against the girl. Drew has denied creating the MySpace account for "Josh Evans" and denied sending any messages to Megan.

"The Internet is a world unto itself. People must know how far they can go before they must stop. They exploited a young girl's weaknesses," FBI Special Agent Salvador Hernandez told reporters. "Whether the defendant could have foreseen the results, she's responsible for her actions." Be Aware of your Children's Internet Activities!

I agree Pastor parents should be aware of their children internet activities. I remember when i heard this story months back the lady that caused this girl to commit suicide her neighbors wanted her to move from the neighborhood because of her heartless stunt. At first they were saying they were not sure they could bring her up on charges. But I thank God they did she should be held accountable for her actions. Her ruthless and heartless game caused this lonely little girl to take her life.

How could an adult do something like this to a child? She will have to pay for actions not only in this life but in the next!
I agree Pastor parents definately need to be more involved in their childrens lifes not only on the computer but everything else that may be going on.

I am the Senior Pastor of the Eureka TrueVine Baptist Church. In my ten year tenure, the church has grown from 10 to approximately 300. My personal mantra is to,”Meet the needs of the people, right where they are”. The Church Motto is “Real Ministry, with a Real Message, for Real People”. Family, social service and youth ministries are the foundational ministries of the church. I completed my undergraduate work in Psychology from Christian Brothers University and Jacksonville Theological Seminary and my graduate work from Jacksonville Theological Seminary in Theology and the Harvard University, School of Divinity. I was the first Director of Academic and Vocational Training for The Memphis Job Corps Center, and held the position of Facility Manager and instructor with Memphis City Schools Adult Basic Education Program at Tri-State Training Center and with the Title-One Program at Tall Trees Juvenile Detention Center. I served as the Chaplain of the Shelby County Detention Center and also at the Jail East “Women’s Jail”. Along with my pastoral duties, I am currently an administrator with the Shelby County Department of Corrections with the Fatherhood/Healthy Relationships Program. My wife of 19 years, Regina and I have 2 children, Frederick 13 and Alexis 11. Together we head the Memphis Area Youth Association, which is a youth athletic and educational support program with an abstinence base.
