Cyber-Bully

[jmfargo]

There was someone here that I read, and I can't remember who it was, who was righteously outraged by grown ups masquerading as a 13 year old boy to trick, taunt, and tease a local teen girl. It ended when, after making her think that this fictional boy was in love with her, they, through this disguise, told her they were breaking up, and that "the world would be a better place without [her]." She committed suicide.

At the time, the courts had no idea what to do, and there was even talk of doing nothing

This post is to let you know that something has been done, on a federal level.

5-10 doesn't really compensate for a loss of life, does it?

Many would argue that life in prison doesn't compensate for the loss of a life.

That was, in part, my point.
