Authorities investigate Internet postings posing as Drew

ST. LOUIS | A 13-year-old girl’s suicide prompted her hometown to adopt a law against Internet harassment. Now, elected officials in Dardenne Prairie concede the first family to be aided by the new law could be the same one vilified in the girl’s death.

News accounts of the death of Megan Meier prompted officials in the suburban St. Louis community to pass a measure Nov. 21 making it a misdemeanor to engage in Internet harassment.

The girl thought she was corresponding over MySpace with a cute boy online. In fact, “Josh Evans” never existed. When messages from the fictional boy turned cruel, including one stating the world would be better off without her, Megan hanged herself. A neighborhood mother, Lori Drew, her 18-year-old employee and 13-year-old daughter played a role in creating the hoax.

Now, the Drews may be on the receiving end of Web-based harassment, an ironic twist that has not gone unnoticed in Dardenne Prairie. Some city officials say the new local law might apply to alleged harassment against the Drews.

2. Go to that link and read her statement

It contradicts the police report.

This woman is a monster.

3. I doubt she's a "monster"

just terminally narcissistic and STOOOPID. Who the hell gets involved in pubescent girls' spats? Monday they HATE each other. Friday they're best friends again. Her duplicity towards Megan's parents reveals what an unevolved being she is. I feel such pain for ALL involved. Lori Drew didn't "cause" Megan's suicide, her INEXCUSABLE actions were just grist for Megan's own mill... :cry:

4. I don't believe she killed her

but I think she is a monster for the same reason you think she is stoopid. She is surely old enough to realize that actions have consequences. And the way she has spun her story since Megan died is just disgusting.

5. You're both right; Lori Drew is a narcissistic monster
