Cyberbully Mom Gets Jail Time

Two teenage girls are best friends. Then, they are enemies. Mom creates a MySpace account and assumes a fake identity as Josh Evans. She flirts and sends sexually suggestive messages to daughter's former friend. Then "Josh" tells the girl "the world would be better off without you."

Girl commits suicide.

I am happy to see that at last, this woman is getting her just desserts.

Ugh! I hate this story so much, it leaves me with the most ugly taste of the 'milk of human kindness' in my mouth.
The fact that she is a grown woman acting like a teenage girl makes me just want to vomit on and punch the shit out of her.

I don't know as it was so much that she was acting like a teenager, but rather like one of those helicopter parents. As I recall from the first article I read on the subject, her daughter and the girl had been friends, but had a fight and "broke up." Instead of kicking back and letting the girls duke it out, she got involved because it was her "little girl." Instead of letting her kid figure out how to solve this productively, she taught her someone will always intervene.

And really, I feel for both families. One lost a daughter, the other just lost their mother (and in the husbands case, wife). Oh sure they can go see her in jail, but it's not the same.
