A Los Angeles federal grand jury indicted a Missouri woman on Thursday over an alleged role in a MySpace online hoax played on a 13-year-old girl who committed suicide.

This story is extremely sad on many levels. I have to hand out three individual fails to the people involved with this story.

My first fail goes out to the woman who created the false MySpace page and tormented the little girl. Honestly, how old are you? You should have known way better to prey on the unbalanced emotions of a 13-year-old girl. Thats childish and petty you're an idiot. You, obviously batty old lady, fail.

My second fail goes out to the parents of this young girl. I'm putting the child's death on their shoulders. Its their fault for raising such a weak child who figured the only way to deal with her life was to end it. A lot of people have problems and a lot of people get teased; but they still wake up every morning and get through th day. he parents should have noticed signs of their daughters depression and done something before it got to the point it did. The parents, unfortunately, failed.

My last fail goes out to the asinine charges being put on the Mother accussed. Honestly, "conspiracy" and "accessing protected computers without authorization to get information" ? Any information that someone displays on the internet for all to see is public information in my opinion. Since the 'net has been accessible to the public it has been preached time and time again to watch what you say and who you say it to. These charges are, obviously, just being used to bring publicity to the case.

If this seems at all harsh in anyway then I'm sorry; but there are more ruthless things going on around the world as we speak. One girls death, in the large aspect of things, isn't going to change much but hopefully her story will persuade parents to start taking a keen interest on what their kids are doing for those 4+ hours online.
