Lori Drew Pleads Not Guilty in Megan Meier MySpace Suicide Case

Megan Meier

Lori Drew, the infamous Mom next door and alleged villain in the Megan Meier MySpace Suicide story, plead not guilty in a Los Angeles Federal Court on June 17th to charges of conspiracy and accessing computers without authorization.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Drew plead not guilty in a "proceeding that last only a few minutes".

Drew was indicted on May 15 by a Los Angeles Federal Grand Jury. DBKP's Megan Meier MySpace Suicide: Lori Drew Indicted details Drew's alleged involvement in a case that stunned not only a bedroom community of St. Louis, Missouri, but the entire nation.

Megan Meier was about to turn 14 when she hanged herself in the closet of her room. Megan's parents, Tina and Ron Meier, allege that Megan's suicide was acerbated by the alleged antics of Drew, a long time neighbor and Mom of a former childhood friend of Megan.

Megan had opened a MySpace account shortly before her 14th birthday with the permission of her parents. Megan then met a boy named Josh on MySpace who said he was 16, new to her area, and interested in an online "friendship". The two spent several weeks communicating via MySpace until shortly before her birthday Josh began to post abusive comments about Megan's appearance and friends which culminated in an online fight. Megan committed suicide after a comment was posted by Josh which intimated the world "would be a better place" without Megan.

It was weeks later that the Meiers discovered that there wasn't any "Josh", that he was a fake online personality, and that the person behind "Josh" was a long time neighbor and friend, 46-yr-old Lori Drew.

Drew denies any involvement and blames a 17-yr-old employee, Ashley Grills. Grills, who tried to commit suicide after the circumstances surrounding Megan's death hit the news and the neighborhood, claims Drew was the instigator, that Drew wanted to "monitor" what Megan had to say about Drew's daughter. St. Charles County prosecutor's investigated and declined to press any charges. The Los Angeles Federal Prosecutor's office then stepped in and held Grand Jury hearings. Drew was indicted on conspiracy and unauthorized use of a computer.

The trial is scheduled for July 29.

Lori Drew Indicted in Megan Meier MySpace Suicide Case

The infamous mother in the Megan Meier Myspace Suicide case, Lori Drew, has been indicted by a Los Angeles federal grand jury on one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain private information.

Drew's indictments come as a surprise to many as the local authorities where the case transpired, in O'Fallon, Missouri, and the FBI, declined to press charges after investigating the Megan Meiers Myspace case.

Back in December, St. Charles County prosecutor Jack Banas announced his office would not file charges against Drew because she hadn't "broken any laws".

Drew had admitted in a police report that she had "set up" a fake MySpace page to "monitor" what her daughter's ex-friend, Megan Meier, was posting about her daughter on Megan's MySpace page. Drew later recanted, claiming she wasn't involved, that the police report was filled with errors.

Banas had said that the St. Charles County prosecutor's office couldn't "prove" that Drew or Grills had meant their messages to be a form of "harassment" even though Megan's mother claims the messages from the fake 16-year-old "Josh" had grown increasingly mean, culminating in a final message posted the day Megan hanged herself in her bedroom closet, that the "world would be a better place without you".

Megan had set up a MySpace page with the permission of her parents. She had told her parents about "Josh", a boy on MySpace who claimed he was new to her area. For weeks the "two" exchanged messages until shortly before Megan was to celebrate her 14th birthday.

It wasn't until after Megan's death that her parents were informed by a neighbor that "Josh" wasn't a 16-year-old boy but a concoction made up by their neighbor, a woman in her forties with a daughter who was a former friend of Megan's, Lori Drew.

Drew claims she wasn't involved even though she filed a police report stating she was instrumental in devising the web page as a way to "keep tabs" on what "Megan was saying about her daughter". Drew then claimed it was all her 17-year-old employee, Ashley Grill's idea, that Drew had nothing to do with it.

DBKP has been following the MySpace Suicide story and finds it highly unlikely that Grills, an employee of Drew, would take it on herself to create a fake persona on MySpace in order to chat up a 13-year-old neighbor girl she was not acquainted with. Megan had been Drew's daughter's off-and-on again friend for years.

Grills testified before a Los Angeles federal grand jury that it was Drew who suggested creating the fake page but that it was Grills who set it up. Grills also testified that Drew helped write some of the messages from "Josh".

Megan took her life in November of 2006, it wasn't until January 2008 that a Los Angeles federal grand jury began issuing subpoenas in what is now known as the Megan Meier MySpace Suicide Case.

Megan Had It Coming Blog: Google And Lori Drew

According to Lori Drew's attorney, Ms. Drew is having a harder time getting Google to close the blog Megan Had It Coming than it was for her to shut down her MySpace account featuring a fake 16-year-old boy named Josh or claim the statement she gave to the St. Charles police was incorrect.

Drew's attorney, Jim Briscoe, wrote to the St. Charles Journal on the subject.

"Contrary to the statement by Randy Bierce of 'Death by a 1000 Papercuts' I found that it is not as easy to have a blog shut down with the click of a button."[1]

Briscoe said that Lori Drew has contacted Google and complained about the blog, Megan Had It Coming.

December 4, 2007 4:48 PM Anonymous said... This blog is fake. It was created by an individual not associated with this case just for laughs. If you think that this site is offensive, blame the true creator not Lori Drew. Report it to Google and the Drew's attorney at: (636) 947-1122 [4]

The blog originated back on November 18th, almost a month ago. The name of the blog, Megan Had It Coming, immediately garnered attention across the blogosphere with its offensive name referring to Megan Meier, a thirteen-year-old girl who committed suicide last year.

December 8, 2007 6:11 AM Edna Bambrick said... I AM REPORTING ALL ANTI-LORI DREW POSTS TO THE FBI! YOU PEOPLE ARE IN BIG BIG TROUBLE! [4]

The first post, "Set the Record Straight," the author claimed to be a "schoolmate" of Megan. The second post was put up a week later. The subject about who was "really at fault" in the matter of suicides. The third post, "I'm Lori Drew," showed up the same day Jack Banas, the St. Charles County Prosecutor announced no charges would be forthcoming against Lori Drew in the Megan Meier case.

Lori Drew was revealed as a person who was more than peripherally involved in the Megan Meier MySpace Suicide story. Megan's parents found out six weeks after Megan's death that the 16-year-old boy "Josh" Megan had been chatting with on MySpace for six weeks was really a neighborhood woman, 46-year-old Lori Drew.

December 4, 2007 5:44 PM sickened and saddened said... To the creator of this blog: Congratulations on being an even sorrier excuse for a human being than Lori Drew herself. [4]

The third post was titled, "I'm Lori Drew." The author of the post went into "detail" of how they set up the MySpace account with the fake 16-year-old Josh Evans. How they wanted to protect their daughter from the "monster" next door, 13-year-old Megan Meier.

Now I had nothing but sympathy for Megan's condition. But my sympathy has limits. When you come after my daughter and try to hurt her like that, my patience wears out. This troubled child was no longer able to poison my baby in person, so she decided to reach out on the Internet to do it instead. Like any parent, when you see the ill-behaved child next door causing trouble for your family, you want to wring the neck of the parents who let it happen. But, as Megan's parents made it clear earlier, they were not about to come down on their precious Megan. I had no recourse with them. And, forbidding the children from seeing each other was not effective because Megan could simply harass my daughter online.[4]

The overwhelming majority of the thousands of comments posted on the Megan Had It Coming blog were those of outrage and disgust. Some believed that the author was Lori Drew, after all, Drew had admitted in a police report filed with the St. Charles Police Department that she had engineered the fake Josh along with an 18-year-old temporary employee. Other readers reasoned that the blog was a fake, a hoax, but a very clever hoax, the writer knew too many details of the case.

Anonymous said... I'm going to question whether this is actually Lori Drew... because I choose not to believe that anyone would be so stupid as to think that creating a blog like this will in any way vindicate them. If this is someone trying to make Lori Drew look even worse, don't bother; it's not possible. If this is actually Drew or one of her supporters trying to justify her actions, don't bother; there is no justification. Lori Drew should be grateful that God doesn't smite people anymore. [4]

The "I'm Lori Drew" thread popped up on December 3rd. By December 5th thousands of comments had been posted on the thread with many of the posters writing that they were going to contact the authorities and Lori Drew's attorney to get the blog shut down. It wasn't until December 5th that the authorities responded:

The sheriff and the prosecutor have confirmed they're now looking into a blog site which recounts in great detail the entire Megan Meier saga. St. Charles County prosecutor, Jack Banas, is calling on the department’s "cyber" crimes investigators to find out who's behind the site; the very title of which may offend you: "Megan Had It Coming". The title is followed by the statement, "I'm Lori Drew."

On December 9th the three posts on Megan Had It Coming were taken down by the author replaced with the "last" post, "The Final Story." It may not be the "last" post as the writer of this blog tends to not want to play "by the rules."

The Final Story
It really hurts to do this, considering everything everone has been through, but I have to do it. I know there's been a lot of confusion about this blog and me, so I want to lay it all to rest.

The "suspense" was over. It wasn't Lori Drew but an Internet "troll" who hung around the comment section looking for readers who would commend him for his "brilliance." He posted as an innocent "bystander" who "loved, loved, loved" the blog from day one. The troll or fake Lori Drew had forgotten something important. The name on his comment was linked to the Megan Had It Coming blog profile page.

There was no party, no one to cheer and clap him on. Readers were unkind to him and failed to give him his due instead they wrote that his using the Megan Meier tragedy as a hoax to garner attention was repulsive.

"Jeff" seemed particularly dismayed that we summed up the episode by writing:

The hoax-monger purports to "demonstrate the collective stupidity of thousands of Internet users who confuse replying to blogs for having actual intellectual discourse."

We're not so sure about all that.

It did demonstrate that the jokester had something on his hands other than the remains of a creepy masturbatory experience: time.

"Jeff" mentioned it several times, including once in the original sources of the MHIC entry in Encyclopedia Dramatica.

DBKP asked, "Where was Blogger? Where was Google?"

The answer is right where they always were: in their offices. One reader, Beowulf, went so far as to present us with a timeline prior to the troll outing himself. The timeline was fairly accurate--it was off by 24 hours. It gives an insight into Google's policies concerning offensive material and how they deal with it.

On December 5, two days after the "I'm Lori Drew" post, he commented that it would be down within 48 hours. After being reminded of that two days later, Beowulf advised us: "Briscoe only learned of the blog yesterday." He then outlined that the blog's offensive material would be down by the end of the weekend.

It proved to be accurate. The offending posts were removed by the author on Sunday evening.

Beowulf's final comment on the matter to us was illuminating.

you need to educate yourselves about take down procedures for offensive content at Google and other websites. When Google receives a complaint they contact the blog owner and ask them to remove the content. In many cases people post illegal or offensive things without understanding the terms of service.

In some cases the take down claim is false and the blog author is able to demonstrate their true identity. In this case it is very likely the blog owner got such a take down notice from Google and removed the content to avoid having the account closed. This is standard operating procedure thoughout the industry.

December 9, 2007 9:58 PM ThisIsRidiculous said... Rebecca, This blog is not written by Lori Drew. It's a hoax. What bothered me about this blog is that (a) It made light of a suicide. I remember some of the comments made by some of these people who 'did it for the lulz', including stating that Megan needed to be kicked out of the gene pool because she couldn't take some bullying. (b) This blog stirred up even more anger and vitriolism against the Drews. I remember people even attacking 13-yr-old Sarah Drew. Sure, it was all for the 'lulz' as far as this author and his minions were concerned, but this blog must have caused even more angst and anger against the Drews. Jeff, you should be ashamed of yourself. After all your claims that you don't agree with what Lori did, you don't see how offensive this blog is and how it could up the ante from the online vigilantes? I think people who lack basic human emotions and do not care about the consequences of their reactions (and God knows that the Drews have been targetted enough by their community to the point that their police department is overworked) should be amongst the first to be kicked off the gene pool. [4]

The blog is still up. According to the news reports the authorities are investigating who is behind the blog.

I'm pretty certain that the blogger writing this site is not Lori Drew and that this entire site is a hoax.

That said, I am increasingly bothered that law enforcement is taking a more vested interest in going after Ms. Drew's tormentors than they are in going after the late Megan's tormentors.

Personally, if this online ragging is the worst that Lori Drew gets, she's getting much less punishment than she deserves. [4]

Google, the home of the Megan Had It Coming Blog, was contacted about the blog and informed that someone was impersonating Lori Drew. Google responded that they were looking into the matter. Evidently allowing blogs that impersonate someone and print objectionable material such as the Megan Had It Coming Blog are allowed by Google as the blog is still going.

This is a hoax people: Blogger poses as women linked to MySpace suicide
Stop feeding this sick person's need for attention, which is all it is... they have latched onto a tragedy and used it to make their own pathetic life somehow more exciting.
For shame, for shame, leave all the families involved in this horrible incident alone, because whatever it is that they did or did not do that led to Megan's death, you are doing a far worse and much more pathetic thing in creating this blog. I hope someday you realize that.[4]

The "Troll" was able to put together a "fake" Lori Drew persona not unlike Lori Drew putting together the fake 16-year-old Josh persona on MySpace. There have been cries that the blogosphere has been responsible for the "victimization" of Lori Drew. While it's true this particular blog did whip readers up into a frenzy of further outrage and disgust in the manner of Ms. Drew's actions the majority of actions taken by "vigilantes" occurred well before the Megan Meier MySpace Suicide story hit the web.

In fact, except for expressions of disgust aimed at Lori Drew's clients, the only "vigilante" actions taken were by the only people who were aware of this story for over a year--Lori Drew's neighbors and those in the immediate area.

Unless you count one broken foosball table, a candlelight vigil and some tire tracks in the yard.

Those were taken by Megan's parents.

Ms. Drew's attorney and the St. Charles County prosecutor have both come to Ms. Drew's defense. But it was Ms. Drew's own actions--the filing of charges, Ms. Drew's urge to "document" any possible "harassment" from Megan's father--that led to the infamous police report where Ms. Drew, well before her attorney came onto the scene, supplied some very interesting details into what, exactly, her participation in the sad story was.

According to the authorities Ms. Drew has broken no laws, what she did was not illegal. The day Megan died Ms. Drew wiped the MySpace Josh account from existence. No such luck with the fake Megan It Coming Blog.

Just ask Jim Briscoe.

[note: The MHIC blog was interesting to DBKP only as far as the question remained, "Was the blog's author really Lori Drew?" Since that question was answered with a "no", it's relationship to the story of Megan Meier is now peripheral, at most. It joins other "anti-Megan" blogs which appeared at the time of the story gaining national prominence. The author was interesting only as long as he maintained the charade of being "Lori Drew". As there were some loose ends, this article tried to tie those up and answer a few questions. We hope to give MHIC and its author no more pub.]

Lori Drew: Anatomy Of An Apology

The Letter

[Click on image to enlarge.]

a·pol·o·gy /əˈpɒlədʒi/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[uh-pol-uh-jee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –noun, plural -gies.

1.	a written or spoken expression of one's regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another: He demanded an apology from me for calling him a crook. [1]

Do any of the following statements from Lori Drew's letter, which is part of the St. Charles County police investigation, fit the definition of an apology? Do they show remorse, imply regret, or display sorrow for the actions that Lori Drew claimed responsibility for in the St. Charles County Sheriff's Police Report?

The Letter

"We are very sorry for the extreme pain you are going through and can only imagine how difficult it must be. We have every compassion for you and your family.

The Police Incident Report

"Drew explained she wanted to "just tell them" what she did to contribute to the Meier's daughters suicide. Drew stated in the months leading up Meier's daughter's suicide, she instigated and monitored a "my space" account which was created for the sole purpose of communicating with Meier's daughter. Drew said she, with the help of temporary employee named "Ashley," constructed a profile of "good looking" male on "my space" in order to "find out what Megan (Meier's daughter) was saying on on-line about her daughter. Drew explained the communication between the fake male profile and Megan was aimed at gaining Megan's confidence and finding out what Megan felt about her daughter and other people. Drew stated the she, her daughter and Ashley all typed, read and monitored the communication between the fake male profile and Megan. Drew went on to say, the communication became "sexual for a thirteen year old." Drew stated she continued to fake male profile despite the development."

From the most recent statement from Lori Drew via her attorney, Jim Briscoe:

"During this investigation, the Drew family has not commented to the media. Now that the investigation is concluded, we wish to issue this statement.

"First and foremost, the Drew family mourns the death of Megan every day. They previously expressed their sympathies to the Meier family, but the Meiers have made it clear that they do not wish to speak to the Drews, and they have honored the Meier’s request.

"Contrary to statements reported in various news media around the nation in recent weeks, Lori Drew did not create or direct anyone to create the Josh Evans MySpace account.

"Although she was aware of the account, Lori Drew never sent any messages to Megan or to anyone else using this MySpace account.

"Once we are notified about a blog that impersonates a person, we act quickly to remove it. We have not received an impersonation claim to date from the individual allegedly being impersonated."

Megan Had it Coming Blog Still Going Strong

Death by 1000 Papercuts Front Page.

Myspace Suicide: 'Megan Had It Coming' Blog Still Going Strong

It's still chugging along, the vile little blog that could, "Megan Had It Coming."

It's been 48 hours since the news article reported that the St. Charles Prosecutor, Jack Banas, had begun an investigation into who was running the twisted little website. The comment section is still rolling along, over 2351, and still growing.

Curt Drew issued a denial that it wasn't him nor anyone in his family, which includes the infamous Lori Drew, the current Queen of Internet Hoaxers. The Drew's attorney, Jim Briscoe couldn't be reached for a comment. Megan Meier's mother welcomed the investigation.

Was it really Lori Drew, as the poster claimed in the last thread, "I'm Lori Drew?"

To believe it was Lori Drew was to believe that this person was capable of extremely cruelty. The poster wrote a long diatribe, part blame the victim, Megan, part blame Megan's parents, part blame the cops and schools for allowing Megan the "monster bully" to roam the neighborhood streets and back alleys of MySpace. And none of the blame for Lori Drew.

If this is/was a fake, an imposter, a Lori Drew impersonator, they took a stand and stuck to it. Never deviated from their story, stayed on point. Tried to paint a picture of Lori Drew as the victim. The one whom the cops, the schools nor Megan's parents would help in the matter of the horrible little Megan. So fake or real Lori Drew did what she had to do. She set up the MySpace to teach Megan a lesson, to give Megan a dose of her own medicine.

Megan Had it Coming said...

Neither can I, but you get my point. If Megan had simply not chosen to kill herself, this would be a non-story. Another case of a bully getting what's coming to him/her. That's why I named this blog the way I did. My part was to teach a bully a lesson. Megan's part was to kill herself for some unknown reason that I'm unfairly being blamed for. [1]

The person who wrote the diatribe was believable as someone who was angry over the "alleged" treatment of her daughter at the "monster" Megan's hands. This led readers to actually believe this story about Megan. Many wrote that even though "Megan was bully" Lori had no right to act like one too. Thus buying into the story that Megan was, indeed, a bully.
Any stories about Megan being a bully and monster have come from a very unreliable source.

Megan Had It Coming said...

I disagree. You weren't there, and you couldn't have known what my daughter went through. This was much much more than two kids having a falling out. My daughter cried over this many times, and was wounded deeply by Megan's theater of attack. And when I found out that Megan was up to her old tricks, she stopped being an innocent 13 year old in my eyes. Megan was a predator and I treated her as such. [1]

Unless you were in my shoes you can't know what it was like. So take your judgment elsewhere because it doesn't work here.

The person who claimed they were "Lori Drew" hung in there and shot back replies to comments. Telling the readers that they had no idea what Lori and her daughter went through. This part was convincing. Someone knew how to mimic a mother's concern for her child.

Megan Had it Coming said...

How old was your daughter? Was she part of the popular crowd? Did she even have to deal with school-wide shame?

You're not even in the same league as what my daughter almost went through. Burn in hell yourself, bitch. [1]

The readers reacted to the "Lori Drew" statement of "innocence" in the manner of the MySpace hoax and Megan's suicide. "Despicable, monster, bitch, and more, much more." Many wrote that they knew the site was most likely a hoax but also took the opportunity to write their "thoughts" about Lori, to Lori, on the blog. And whoever set up that site was one sick f#$#k.

The fake or real Lori, at this point no one knows for sure who this person is, whoever they are, they know enough details about this case to get by, played the part well. The "angry" mother who wanted to teach Megan a lesson about bullying. The claim that the police report was wrong, the fault of the police. This was the real Lori Drew's contention too. The police report, now in the public domain, told the tale of a woman, Lori Drew, distraught over the treatment by the Meiers after Megan's suicide and her "anger" that they would not "meet" with her to "learn the truth" about what happened. How Lori had set up a fake MySpace account, how it had gotten "sexual." It's no wonder Drew now claims the police report is wrong because it damns Lori. It's the opposite of what Lori Drew's attorney and the St. Charles prosecutor claimed to of happened, of Lori's "participation" being only peripheral.

The fake or real Lori bemoans that she acted as a "responsible" parent and when the commenters chided her she slapped them down, telling one to burn in hell. She grew impatient with the readers inability to "understand" why she had to do what she did to Megan. Megan's suicide had nothing, nothing to do with her. Blame Megan's mother, it said. Blame Megan's medication. Megan was a bully. Megan was going to humiliate my daughter. God, you people are morons.

Megan Had It Coming said... YOU PEOPLE STILL ARENT LISTENING!!!!! [1]

The outrage from the readers was understandable. The comments about this person, whoever they are, being a sociopath, spot on.

And so, 48 hours after the authorities said they were investigating this blog, it's still there, open for business. We wondered, since the person who wrote the blog claims they are Lori Drew, and the real Lori Drew claims she is not involved, then why hasn't the blog owners, Bloggers, closed it down? After all it fits their criteria, of impersonation. The blog has been brought to the attention of the owners, Bloggers, to the cops, to Lori Drew, to the county prosecutor, to the news organizations. And yet, it still rolls on, collecting comment after comment.

We want to know who is behind this blog, specifically, that it is not Lori Drew. We want to know how the blog has managed to keep going even though it fits 3 out of 4 of the criteria as an offensive blog according to Bloggers, the ones who gave this site out to "Megan Had It Coming."

Megan Had it Coming said...

You don't know that. Nobody knows why Megan took her life that night except Megan. Was it MySpace? Was it the boyfriend? Was it the medication? Was it something else?

You can't put the responsibility or the blame on me when you can't verify or possibly know what was going through Megan's head that night.

I'm getting really tired of defending this point over and over. Please, people, just get it. [1]

Megan Meier MySpace Suicide: Conversation Between Fake Lori Drew & Internet Commenters, Part I

Lori Drew or Internet Troll?
Are we seeing a conversation between Lori Drew, Internet hoaxer, and hundreds of Internet surfers?

Or is this another hoax?

In either case, the reading is riveting. On one side is the author of the 'Megan Had Coming' Blog, which appeared on the weekend the Megan Meier story broke across the country.

Originally, the author identified herself as "Kristen", supposedly an acquaintance of Megan Meier, before the 13-year-old committed suicide in 2006. The author then posted, what she claimed, was a "true picture of Megan".

---BREAKING: 12-4-07 2:00 pm EST Drew's Lawyer: Drew Knew, Didn't Stop It VIDEO REPORT

NOW the same blog, after largely being inactive, has another post. This one is titled "I'm Lori Drew". It purports to be from the hoax-instigating mother, Lori Drew.

Is it?

Is "Kristen" really Lori Drew?

In our earlier story, "Lori Drew, Author of 'Megan Had it Coming' blog? , we reported on the "I'm Lori Drew" post.

There are now over 800 comments to that post at Megan Had it Coming, as well as a running verbal battle between the post's author and Internet commenters.

Once again, is this Lori Drew?

We can't know if it really is or if it's the elaborate work of a "troll", claiming to be Ms. Drew.

The timing of the posts argue against a troll. If it had been someone seeking attention, rather than justification for their actions, the stories would have been posted before this--at the height of press attention and the reactionary outrage.

We present the first in a running commentary between the author claiming to be Lori Drew and her readers.

Wrong is wrong, whether or not it's technically legal. You victimized a person a quarter of your age and you feel not one iota of remorse. just relief that you won't be charged and resentment that the rest of the world won't just let it go.

You are one sick, twisted woman. Don't cry victim when you have a blog called "magen had it coming". Give me a break. You brought all of this on yourself by misleading someone who by your own admission had "issues" but you continued to do it anyway. You, your daughter, your tdmp worker all deserve whatever hard times come upon. My only regret is that your husband, if he knew nothing about it, will be guilty by association. In fact maybe he may think about divorcing you, since you yourself seem to have the same dark side that Megan had.

If you had been 15 when you did all this, I would have understood. I would have had the reaction I think you intended when you wrote this.

But you were not 15. You were giving a 13-year-old girl a "taste of her own medicine." Which means you, a grown woman who is supposed to help her own 13-year-old grow up, thought it was perfectly acceptable to act like a 13-year-old herself.

I think you believe that people care what Megan did, how innocent she was or was not. I don't. I think most people think there is nothing a 13-year-old girl could do that warrants a grown adult initiating a set of events intended to harass and bully her.

Your explanation is the equivalent of "a ten-year-old bully beat up my eleven-year-old on the playground, so my 35-year-old husband beat the crap out of that ten-year-old." Because you knew that Megan suffered from depression. You knew that emotionally, she was weaker than you and weaker than your daughter. Yet you chose to take advantage of that weakness, and justify that by saying "she started it."

I think you need help. Your explanation is far worse than I had anticipated. I had reserved judgment believing that perhaps you had nothing to do with the bullying. Perhaps you already felt guilt and remorse. What you wrote here is far, far worse than I could have imagined.

and by the way, people do not have to be unbalanced to destroy a foosball table that belongs to a GROWN ADULT who bullied their daughter. Unbalanced, they would have done far worse. I think they showed amazing restraint.

YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME! It's not like we set out to "beat up a 10 year old." Just to give her a taste of what she was doing to others. BUT IT GOT OUT OF CONTROL WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND????

The only thing worse than the media is the mob mentality shown on these 1,000+ comments. People don't listen, they don't think, they don't analyze, they don't understand.

GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD I DIDN'T KILL MEGAN I DID WHAT ANY REASONABLE PARENT IN MY POSITION WOULD HAVE DONE WHY WON'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THIS????

Ok, this is the real problem. kids at that age are cruel, we all went through it, we've all seen it, we've all experienced it. You are an adult with a developed mind and the ability to understand where your actions may lead. Most 13 year olds can't think past next week let alone understand the real pain they inflict, but you can. Also to pretend to be someone else and say she "had it coming"....my god what even justifies that? Does any child deserve to be ridiculed or slandered against? No, but it happens and thats life in the awkward teenage years. Its about communication with your kids about even though what other kids say and how hurtful things are, none of it really matters. Although most teenagers think this is a line of shit, which seems like it can be at times. But on the flip side no adult or parent should ever attack any child mentally, which is what you did. You may not have typed the key strokes, but you were the mastermind behind them. Aside from the fact she was clinically depressed, something you knew. You're extremely lucky no charges will be brought, but whats worse, prison or the stigma of having the blood of a child on your hands? Guess only you will know that for the rest of your life. All the verbal attacks and actions by the community you brought on upon yourself, you made your bed and now you must lie in it. Nothing you can say will EVER sway the fact that you started a my-space page to enter into communications with a child with the sole purpose to trick her. Its to bad someone had to die, what if it was your little girl hanging in her closest...what would you do then?

If you feel badly about what happened, about the fact that a young girl took her life, that two parents lost a daughter, why would you name your blog "Megan had it coming" that sounds to me like you wanted it to happen and that you don't feel regretful that it went the way it did. If you knew the girl was unstable why would you destroy her self esteem further? You seem happy and smug about the whole situation... not like someone who made a mistake and took it too far. You should be ashamed of yourself and your children should be taken away from you so they can have someone that will teach them to live a good life instead of one of revenge and spite.

So let's get this straight. You're a mature, reasonably intelligent, presumably educated adult. You knew Megan was a mentally unstable adolescent who often displayed extreme unreasonable reactions. And you deliberately concocted a scenario that would result in this girl's public humiliation. You may not be technically guilty of murder, and Internet harassment may not be illegal in Missouri. But you certainly are guilty of intentional depraved indifference. You may not have wanted Megan to kill herself, but you clearly wanted to cause her harm. Your actions were clearly a cause that had the effect of Megan's suicide, however much you may wish to deny it. I hope no violence comes against you. However, I believe your fate will be to lose your business and your husband's, and you will be a pariah for years. And I think you deserve that fate.

You have it coming said...

To state you had no direct role in Megan's suicide proves you are a sociopath. You actions of creating the Myspace account, allowing other the ability to post message from it, directly lead to Megan taking her own life.

You also seriously need parenting classes. No reasonable parent would try to dupe a 13 year old girl with the help of her daughter and a temp worker by pretending to be a 13 year old boy. Then bring others into the scam once it was exposed so they could also try to enact mob bullying. You are reaping what you have sewn.

Considering that after the suicide you tried to bury it all, deleting the Myspace account, telling people to keep quite, etc... would indicate a criminal conspiracy had certain circumstances been different.

Also, if this was all done because you had such a problem with internet bullying and rumors, then why DO internet bullying and rumors? If you thought her behavior was so wrong, then why would you do it and encourage others to also? Either lying and bullying are wrong or they are not. Everyone seems to know the answer to these questions but you.

"I DID WHAT ANY REASONABLE PARENT IN MY POSITION WOULD HAVE DONE"

No, you did not. Any reasonable parent would have told their child that relationships change and that if they were really hurt by those changes that they could come to their parent and talk about it. No reasonable parent would do the heinous things you have done, then attempt to demonize the victim and thier family, then brag about getting off scot-free.

How old are you? Great work, justifying how you, as an adult, bullied a teenage girl- and not even feeling sorry at all for her death. Your daughter must be so proud of you.

This latest post raises an interesting question if you are truly Lori Drew.

If your relationship with the Meier family had turned so acrimonious, why did you ask their favor in storing the Foosball table for Christmas?

That doesn't seem to add up in your "version" of the story.

The title of this blog says it all: "Megan had it coming."
Wow. You are possibly the most callous person I have ever heard about. I am amazed that you can justify your actions as a parent and adult. This is behavior that can be expected of a teenager, but for a parent, it's just sad. You set a fine example for your daughter!

No "reasonable" parents would set out to give a 13 year old girl a taste of her own medicine. Nor would a "reasonable" parent set up a blog entitled "meganhaditcoming". It's disturbing that you would ever have the lack of judgment to go through with this harassment in the first place. Perhaps it's even more disturbing that you have set about trying to justify your actions. You place the blame on Megan's mental state, but that just makes it even more horrifying that you would treat a mentally unstable child in such a cruel way. I have my doubts over the legitimacy of this blog, but if any of this is actually written by Lori Drew, I am deeply disturbed by your lack of remorse and hope that somehow justice is served.

Any reasonable parent would have told their child that relationships change and that if they were really hurt by those changes that they could come to their parent and talk about it.

It wasn't just a friendship going sour. Megan was systematically harassing and manipulating my daughter! Separating them was not enough. What would you have done? You can't go to the police, the other parents won't listen, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE??

I did the only thing I could do. Unfortunately, Megan chose to make this a tragedy for everyone involved by killing herself.

You knew Megan had problems or was troubled. Instead of using the fake profile to do this kind of damage why didn't you try to convince her to get help and become a better friend to those she had upset? I do not wish anything bad upon you but what goes around comes around!

YOU THINK I DIDNT TRY???? I'm not one to parent others' kids but I tried talking to Megan on several occasions when her behavior disturbed me. She blew me off. She accused me of trying to sabotage her friendship. Instead of listening, she became angry. Just like her parents.

If you truly believe that "systematically harassing and manipulating" is so wrong, then WHY DO YOU DO IT?

"You can't go to the police" You must be the most ignorant person capable of blogging. The police are your second step in any situation between two children after confronting the parents about any problem. But you instead resort to your own version of internet vigilantism. I said it before; you are reaping what you have sewn.

December 3, 2007 11:07 AM

Is this Lori Drew?

Surely no one could be this callow and petty.

But then, surely no one would set up an account on MySpace for the purpose of the online harassment of a 13-year-old neighbor girl she'd known was suffering from depression.

Surely, no one would file destruction of property charges against the suffering parents of the victim, upon learning of their reactionary destroying of a foosball table.

Surely.

Everyone will have their own opinion. One opinion here: it's probably Drew, if the reports of "no remorse", by neighbors who knew Drew longer and observed during the last year, are to be believed.

Maybe her advertising business is suffering from a loss of revenue and she now feels it's time to answer some of her critics.

This is Part I. More to follow.
