Lori Drew, a case of virtual homicide

I haven’t heard anything about this case for a while. I didn’t even know there was a case until reading this story but I am certainly glad to see some bad stuff happening to Lori Drew. Los Angeles US Attorney Thomas O’Brien:
“Any adult who uses the Internet or a social networking website to bully another person, particularly a vulnerable teenage girl, should realize this has serious consequences.”
But using the word “bully” to paint this sick psycho bitch, Lori Drew is unfortunate. Psychological abuse I suppose is what bullying is all about but what Lori Drew did is on a whole different level and labeling Drew as a bully confuses the distinction. In the schoolyard case of the bully, which I believe is a natural phenomena that has to to identified and corrected at some point before junior high before it becomes a problem, the combatants are all children who are at least on the same playground. Furthermore, when an adult bullies a child it’s called abuse and when abuse leads to death it’s called homicide.
Lori Drew is no better than a pervert who would lurk around the school zone looking to abduct, torture and murder a young schoolgirl. I mean, that is fundamentally exactly what she did. Lori Drew abducted Megan Meier’s attention online by impersonating Josh Evans, a fake identity, then tortured her mind with false promises of acceptance and affection using said fake identity, and then Lori Drew, with intent and malice aforethought, murdered Megan’s soul.
Guilty as charged!
