Mom: Web Hoax Led Girl to Kill Herself

Meier of Dardenne Prairie, Mo., committed suicide last year after being dumped by “Josh,” a boy created under the direction of Lori Drew, the mother of one of Megan’s former friends, who wanted to know what the girl was saying about her daughter online. “Their purpose was never to cause her emotional harassment that we can prove,” Banas said. “There’s a difference between what people think or what we may believe the reason was that they created this, it’s what we can prove and what a jury would believe.” Banas said statements from the neighbor and two teens who participated in the fictitious account couldn’t meet criminal standards for the state’s statutes on harassment, stalking or endangering the welfare of a child.
