JUSTICE INTERRUPTED OR JUSTICE DENIED!
Lori Drew, there may be no justice provided on earth; however, there is a special spot in hell reserved for you for your actions against a 13 year old defenseless little girl.
Megan Meier
Will there really be no justice for deceased 13 year old Megan Meier and her family? A federal judge on Thursday tentatively threw out the MySpace computer fraud conviction against Lori Drew. How is it possible that the Missouri mom, Lori Drew, walks away from the cyberbullying and suicide of Megan Meier with no conviction, but with blood on her hands?
Lori Drew, the keyboard coward who was complicit in typing “Megan Meier is a slut” and “Megan Meier is fat ” and “The world would be a better place without you.”
Lori Drew’s intent was to emotionally harass a minor. How did Lori Drew’s actions not constitute, stalking, harassing and endangering the welfare of a minor?

Lori Drew was complicit, along with her own teenage daughter and a business assistant, Ashley Grills, in creating a fake MySpace profile using the identity of 16 year old Josh Evans (VIDEO) to flirt with Meier, befriend her, and then rudely abandon her. The end result was that Megan Meier took her life by hanging herself.

Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006, allegedly after receiving a dozen or more cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her.
How is it possible that Lori Drew cannot be charged? How can someone cyberbully another to then point that they commit suicide and not be held responsible? How can Lori Drew have inappropriate conversations with a minor? This is simply criminal. After all, Drew et all pretended to be a 16 year old boy and were having an inappropriate conversations with a 13 year old minor girl. How is this different than is it were a male sex predator pretending to be a 16 year old boy and emailing a 13 year old? In both cases their intent would have been to endanger the welfare of a minor.
She set up a MySpace profile for the imaginary boy, complete with a picture of a random handsome youth, and then contacted Megan. “Josh Evans” chatted with Megan for about six weeks. He called her “sexi” and offered to take her out on a date.
Megan’s parents said their daughter, who struggled with her weight, was thrilled by the attention from a “hot” boy.
But then “Josh” turned on Megan. Among the last things Megan saw online on Oct. 16, 2006, were postings saying “Megan Meier is a slut” and “Megan Meier is fat.”
Her parents said the last message from “Josh” said, “Everybody hates you. … The world would be a better place without you.”
Lori Drew’s reaction to the events was that she should never have gone to trial in the first place for her role in a MySpace hoax directed at a 13 year old Megan Meier.
Drew showed no reaction to the decision in the courtroom. In a statement read on NBC’s “Today” show Friday, said she agreed with it and felt she never should have been prosecuted.
“In my view, it was proper that this case was dismissed, primarily because I simply did not do what the U.S. attorney in Los Angeles accused me of doing,” Drew said.
One would tend to think that there are different severities of violating a term of service. It would be one thing to knowingly create a fake identity. It is quite a different thing to do so to perpetrate a crime on another individual.
