  3. My intro to MySpace My friend would tell me, “You should get a MySpace the new hottest chatting website.” As I got introduced I would log in into MySpace everyday and I would be there for hours.

Little did she know about the consequences of her new friend would bring her. They started exchanging messages and becoming friendlier. A little after a month he stopped talking to her. Megan Meier The police soon learned that it was the mother of one of Megan’s friend that lived in the neighborhood. “She received a message from her cyber friend on October 15 of last year, essentially saying he didn’t want to be her friend anymore, that he had heard she wasn’t nice to her friends and that she was cruel.” According to the article it said, “She created Josh’s profile because she wanted to gain Megan’s confidence to know what Megan was saying about her own child online.” The neighbor was never charged because there was no law stating that she could not create a “fake profile.” On October 16, 2006 the mom of Megan Meier found her hanging in her bedroom.
