        Pretty sad, and lots of crazies involved here. Clearly this kid had problems before any of this ever started--including her own parents, who are now getting divorced.

        I like the way they throw in that you have to be 14 to start a MySpace account, and then imply that it's MySpace's fault that she did this. Once again, where are the parents while the kid is on the computer--and in light of her mental state, why wasn't that computer in a common family area, as opposed to where she could lock herself away and obsess over it? Lots of triggers set the kid off, but obviously the root of all of it is her own family.

            It was mean, plain and simple. The adult involved in the hoax should be prosecuted, her children may have just been following her lead but the adult should have known bettter than to mess with a troubled girl's feelings.
