kyburgBanas said based on additional interviews, the fake MySpace page was not created by the mother of one of Megan's friends. He said the page was created by the 18-year-old employee, though the mother and her 13-year-old daughter knew about the page. He said he was unable to speak directly with the 18-year-old, whom he said has been hospitalized for psychiatric treatment.

Guys, no justice. No real change. No probation. No parenting classes. No nothing.
Just vigilantism as a last resort - and more stupidity heading for a legislature near you.
It's hard to put words to, but the ones that float to the surface first only say that it is DAMN easy for one person to take one action to make a whole LOT of people miserable.
Always do your best.
Clean up your own messes.
And be aware of your influence on others. (Applying the Golden Rule after this is easy. It just makes perfect sense, once you realize you're not the only oyster in the stew, neh?)
In the end, it was her life to manage...keep or discard, as she saw fit.
But also - anyone who wishes to take their own life is probably not dealing with what is. Just a terrible version of it.
