She deserves jail time. Accidental or not, she had a hand in the death of another human being, and did willingly attempt to cause her mental harm.

If you torture someone, without intending to kill them, and they die, you are subject to a murder indictment. This case involves suicide, but the torture and it's intended effect (to drive the other party crazy and cause mental harm) is undenied by the plaintiff.

Jail, minimum 5 years.

You people really, really need to take a deep breath and THINK about what you're saying before throwing out these ridiculous, flawed analogies.

Yes if you torture someone, and they die from it, even if you didn't mean to kill them it's still partially on you. You know why? BECAUSE YOU TORTURED THEM. Torture is illegal, and a reasonable person could foresee it could cause great harm to the person they're doing it to. That's the whole point of torture, you're inflicting real harm upon them.

This chick wasn't tortured. She was a chubby, pathetic, monumentally screwed up girl that got pushed over the edge by SOMEONE SAYING MEAN THINGS ABOUT HER. That's not a foreseeable consequence. Have any of you people even heard of the Prudent Man Theory? The vast vast vast majority of fat, pathetic, unpopular teenage girls are not ticking suicide bombs waiting to go off at the slightest little tap.

The mom should get a fine. You idiots who are recommending 5-20 years are saying that being mean to someone is akin to manslaughter. It doesn't work that way, even an ounce of common sense can see that.
