EOc Week 2

Most of the time articles in the newspaper don’t accuse people of committing a crime, they just insinuate because if they flat out accuse someone of something the paper can be sued. In a recent case a woman and her daughter set up a MySpace account pretending to be a young man named josh, and they made the girl next door fall in love with this fake boy and they had the boy break up with her. Shortly after the break up message was sent the thirteen year old girl killed herself. This case is a great example of why kids should not be able to go online without supervision, because the person that they are chatting with could be anyone. It is also completely outrageous that the mother was in on the hoax and wanted to humiliate a 13 year old girl.
