Re: Adults dupe teen into MySpace-assisted suicide
[ QUOTE ]
Suppose you're those parents, and you hear from your kid that somebody has been bullying her and making her miserable. How do you respond? It seems to me like the same inclinations that lead to a desire for revenge/vigilante justice here are also the same ones that pushed the guilty parents down the road to their terrible action.

There's a difference though. If my child comes home and complains that she's being bullied, the last thing I'm gonna do is prank the bully. I'm gonna sit my kid down and explain why people bully and I'm gonna contact the bully's family and try to see what's up on that end.
When a family gets together and torments a child like this, I'm going to do whatever I legally can to get these people out of my community. These are not people that I want around my kids (or anyone else's kids in the community for that matter).
