[FLASH]http://www.liveleak.com/player.swf?token=bda_1195519176[/FLASH]SIZE="5"]Thirteen-year-old Megan Meier took her own life a day after taunting messages appeared on her MySpace page. Now state lawmakers want to make cyber bullying a crime.

Most of the time I try to keep my comments on my own posting to myself, but this one is just sad. I have kids with Myspace accounts, and I know their passwords, and track what they do online. But for an adult to bully a kid should be criminal. Kids will bully kids, and that is sad fact of life. If you’re a teenager watching this video NO ONE is worth you taking your life over. Find someone to talk about things that are bothering you. [/SIZE]

:confused: WTF, can't kids play outside................:hmm:
 
Masterbaker, I don't agree. MySpace is not for children. Period. Why a 13y/o has an account is beyond me. Just look at it. It's for young (and not so young) adults. Caveat Emptor.
 
So sad. Myspace isn't for kids, but it's certainly not for grown ass adults to be insulting and antagonizing children either.
