Myspace hoax comments

"Now, I believe that the woman should be punished because of what she did. I don't blame her one-hundred percent for this girl's death, but she did have part in it, and I believe that she should be punished." Barnhurst, Valerie Louise

I also think that she should be punished. I think that because of her false identity someone died. I think that this should be classified as harrasment and child abuse because she was a minor. I dont think that the lady should be free.

"I felt that she was responsible for pushing this young girl over the edge. Whether she knew it or not this girl suffered from severe depression. With further research could this woman also be charged with even more including negligence? “Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care necessary to protect others from risk.” (Essentials of Business Law, Liuzzo, 50, 51). She didn’t consider the girls state of mind at the time of this incident." Hill, Brittany Reann

You never know when a person is suffering of things like this and I think that she should be charged with negligence. She should have never faked being someone else and then create a harmful environment for her. It doesnt matter if the girl was suffering from anything she was creating a harmful environment for her online. I think that by making such comments she should have been charged.

"I do feel that the creator of "Josh's" profile was wrong and rather sick to do what she had done. Had the creator been another teenage girl, the incident still would have been sickening but not quite has harsh as it seems due to the fact that the profile was created by another teenage girl's MOTHER." Brietzke, Hannah Elizabeth

I think that she is right. It is very sickening that it was a girls mother. If there were problems between the two girls, the mother should have not intervened. I think that she should have just protected her daughter by looking over what she did online and who she spoke with. What she did was just harrasment. There were better ways of protecting her daughter that creating a fake profile to see what a younger girl was saying about her daughter online. There were more dangers for her daughter online than what ever the girl was saying online.

"The rationalizations behind why she chose to create the account and harass the girl are irrelevant. Maybe she did not intend for the girl to kill herself but she did however intend to do the girl harm. She posted publicly viewable bulletins on MySpace calling her names and saying all kinds of things that were not true. “Slander includes spoken words, gestures, actions and even omissions. Most cases of slander involve thoughtless statements that reflect on another person’s good name and reputation.” (Essentials of Business Law, Luizzo, pg 47)" Ter Avest, Anthony Eugene

She did slender the girl online. she did not only create false information, but she also posted many slanders about the girl. I think that there are many laws that she broke and should not be left unpunished. we all would like our kids to be protected while they are online and this should be the start of harsher rules aplied to cyber bullies. I think that if the woman is left unpunished, others will not be afraid to commit similar crimes .
