She's a good example of immaturity and a horrible example of what a Mother should have done.

Man, I don't know. She needed to be held accountable but this seems to be a slippery slop to me.

i had a guy i went to school with post a bulletin telling everyone that it was his mom posting and he had died over the weekend in a car accident. His motive, to see how many nice comments he could get

Why do parents insisted on getting in the middle of their kids life like that? I mean an adult should be mature enough to not feel the need to throw themselves into the middle of middle school drama. These girls were 13? Girls that age fight and end friendships over anything, then a few weeks later they make up again and start the whole cycle over. This whole story is so ridiculous and tragic.

I am glad to see that. That a grown woman (and mother) would do something so absolutely vile and evil is beyond me. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Our kids need to be reminded that they can walk away from web communities - from web harassment - and web abuse. If we as a culture can't seem to curtail bullying in schools - what chance do we have to create legislature that curtails bullying in cyberspace?
That mother was deranged.

I'm glad. That was a horrible thing that mother did, and she deserves every ounce of punishment she receives, if not more.

What a terrible woman. I hope this teaches her children a few good lessons.

you know how you posted about the internet dating thing...this is one of the consequences! the poor girl thought she'd fallen in love with a boy and it was some crazy mom down the street.
i'm glad i'm not in that awkward teenage stage in this day and time. i'd be so much more messed up than i already am.

How sad someone would go out of their way to hurt others, on purpose!

@Drakonskyr - Now Daniel, we all know how important it is to keep America safe for families. If they don't act, then next election we know the opponent will claim this D.A. lets sick parents goad children into suicide.
I think the best route may be to defecate for youtube on the LA courthouse steps and shout "Indict this you pandering spinleess twatbags!"
That sounds kind of exciting!

@rebe1186 - well they only indicted her for conspiracy and threatening. although had they indicted her for more i would agree with you strongly.

yeah, I saw this on 20/20. It's so horrible, and for a mother to be doing that to see what the girl was saying about her daughter?? the whole thing is a cruel, sick joke. It's ridiculous.
I wonder if the Grills girl is getting punished as well.

I'm so thankful that this mom is being held accountable for her actions... one example of the justice system doing the right thing, in my opinion.

wait, the msnbc news page also has links to other articles related to this. i don't know if i didn't read it carefully, but doesn't it say that more than one girl had access to that profile, and were writing mean things? so maybe the mom shouldn't be the only one punished. thought it's still definitely wrong what she did. and it says that she knew that the girl she was hoaxing was on medication for depression and everything.
and it says in one of the articles that the mother accused wished she knew about the mean messages that were being sent (thought the parents of the daughter that committed suicide say that she did know) and that "If she could turn back the clock, that's the part she
would do differently."
^ ok, seriously, DUH she would do that part differently if she could turn back the clock (that is, if her claim that she didn't know about the messages is true). but that's the problem: you can't turn back time. It was such a stupi
