14-year-old girl commits suicide over Myspace drama

[dt3]

Both sets of parents should share the blame.

That I'll agree with. Here Charmer, I made a sign just for this occasion. :homo:

I'm not 13. And you're stereotyping.

I didn't mean you, sorry... Just in general.

Thank you very much. You just made my day,





I must be quite now.

The article says that her parents knew that she had an account so they must have been OK with it. Had an adult not pulled some tasteless prank, she'd more than likely still be here.

The parent only began the prank, the children kept it going. Apparently telling about it isn't helping, so here's a part of the rules of Myspace:

MySpace.com Terms of Use Agreement

MySpace.com reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject, refuse to post or remove any posting (including private messages) by you, or to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to all or any part of the MySpace Services at any time, for any or no reason, with or without prior notice, and without liability. MySpace expressly reserves the right to remove your profile and/or restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to any part of MySpace Services if MySpace determines, in its sole discretion, that you pose a threat to MySpace and/or its Users.

1. Eligibility. Use of and Membership in the MySpace Services is void where prohibited. By using the MySpace Services, you represent and warrant that (a) all registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (c) you are 14 years of age or older; and (d) your use of the MySpace Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation. Your profile may be deleted and your Membership may be terminated without warning, if we believe that you are under 14 years of age.

Read the bold print. The article states that she was UNDER the age of 14 at the time she signed up. That page is not too hard to find when you register for Myspace. The parents were ignorant and irresponsible, and should have looked over the rules and regulations that went with joining the site. I do not have any pity for this girl, because she broke a rule that resulted in her death.

Look at it this way: If a person breaks the law and robs a store, it's his fault if the cops shoot and kill him. With this story, it's the girl's fault that she died, because she broke the rules and joined a website against regulation.

You can't see who repped you?

Amber said "It's nice to see a young person with a good head on your shoulders"

I said "Don't listen to her, we all like you here" or something like that

 

[livvy7678]

It stated in the article that the mother also posted comments

 

[livvy7678]

NO I can't see who's repped me. where does it say?

 

[dt3]

NO I can't see who's repped me. where does it say?

It should be just to the left of the comment in your User CP...

Should they have let her have an account? Probably not but they read all the messages (according to the article) and knew that she was talking with this "boy". I think a more correct comparison would be a person walking down the side of a road (with sidewalks provided) and getting hit by driver who fell asleep at the wheel. Both made bad choices but one was far worse.
