She might be scummy but I don't think she was responsible for that girl killing herself. It will be interesting to see the sentencing handed down. I don't think she should go to prison over this. The parents of the dead girl are reaching IMO.

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I do hold her responsible for that child's death and hope she does the maximum amount of time.

I couldn't disagree more. I file this woman's actions under "cruel and unusual".

I would like to see the parents of the dead child be able to reach....for a baseball bat. And some time alone with their child's torturer.

Lori Drew is more than scummy - she is evil. She deliberately set out to harm a 13 year old girl. More than scummy.

Do you really think she actually set out with the mind of causing this kid to commit suicide?

Or...do you think it's a prank that went too far? She didn't know this kid was previously suicidal.

I believe that she did know, Charlotte. The girl's mother, believing that Lori Drew was a friend, had confided in her about her daughter's depression and emotional issues.

I'm with MEDC. I hope Lori Drew serves the maximum.

I wasn't on the jury, but the information and evidence conveyed showed not only a callousness toward and knowledge of the deceased girl's mental health, but also an intention to harm and a knowledge of wrongness, evidenced by the sudden orders to exit involvement in MySpace.

This woman deserves prison and all the trimmings! Hopefully a return of the full-force of conscience, which she surely doesn't have right now. She could use a healthy-portion of remorse and guilt to live with for the rest of her life - that kind of pain can't be doled out by a court or by a prison.

The ? that made recovery possible: "Which lovebuster do I do the most that hurts the worst"?

The statement that signaled my personal recovery and the turning point in our marriage recovery: "I don't need to be married that badly!"

If you're interested in saving your relationship, you'll work on it when it's convenient. If you're committed, you'll accept no excuses.

If I was the dead girl's father, Ms. Internet Bully would turn up missing.

No doubt this woman is cruel but I still can't see her being held LEGALLY responsible. She is morally responsbile for the trauma she inflicted on that girl but there would be a lot of people in jail by that standard. Why weren't her parents more observant of their DD activites if they knew she was emotionally/mentally disturbed? I think the parents are looking for someone to blame and can't blame them for seeing Lori Drew as the bad guy because she IS a POS. However, they probably don't want to look at themselves or their DD.

If the girls' parents wanted to reach out to Ms. Drew with a baseball bat, I can understand that.

ETA: Why was Lori Drew the only one on trial though? confused

She is obscene. Has she no shame for her part in this?

Does anyone know WHY she targeted this young girl?

No reason is acceptable, I'm just curious about the facts.

A grown woman creating a fake myspace page for the sole purpose of harassing a child is one sick, dysfunctional person, with the maturity of a 2-yr. old.

I also don't understand why the parents didn't step in when the bullying started. How did it get this far?

Everyone even Matt Lauer all seem to be reaching to support their agrument. Unless you have the court transcript or were present in the courtroom, snipets from interviews can be misleading so who knows.
