You're right, a CYBERbullying case that has made it big in the general news would have NOTHING to do with a site named 'Dailytech'.

This is news because it could possibly have resulted in a very serious piece of legislation being crafted one day; one that might not be realistically enforceable, but would be chilling nonetheless.

As far as the child is concerned, I feel nothing but sympathy for her parents, and I deeply regret she felt it necessary to kill herself, however we need to place the blame for this not on Lori Drew or her hambeast daughter, but directly on Megan Meier's parents. Every day, people are starving to death, being killed in genocidal conflicts, natural disasters, accidents, and just about any other horrific way you can imagine. To me it begs the question: where were her parents during all this? Too busy whining and bitching at each other over their marriage to pay attention to the daughter, it would seem. Too busy not explaining to her that, no matter how bad you might think you have it... you don't. You live in the world's most advanced nation, a society that compared to the rest of the world is a paragon of freedom. If you live in the United States, you really have no excuse to ever consider suicide. Nothing is so bad that you need to kill yourself over it.

Unfortunately, the poor girl was only thirteen. She didn't have a family to teach her this, to explain these things, to comfort and explain to her about what was happening to her over the computer. Her parents failed her miserably by not paying enough attention to her and her emotional and mental state.

Would mainstream press ever write anything like what I've just said? No. Do they need to? Every single time something like this happens. The majority of society's woes can be directly laid at the feet of the parents. And the parents don't like hearing that.
