She did it,

I'll admit not following closely but didn't some of the witnesses claim that she wasn't really the primary force behind this... that it was the younger kids' idea?

a 13 year old is dead.

I read a rumor that mom told the cops that the 13 year old tried to go to her with her problems and instead of helping, mom admonished her for using the internet when she had been told not to. Haven't double checked that, but it sounds exactly like the sort of "we're more upset about the fact that you exposed yourself to something complicated that upset you than we are about the fact that you are upset" crap that drives young people to, er, send a clear message about the significance of their emotions. If true, the ironic thing about this narrative is that mom STILL hasn't gotten the fucking picture, otherwise she wouldn't be in a court room. How much does the physical attractiveness of the parties effect the internet mob's opinion of who is at fault here? How much have the 4chan griefers influenced people just because they are bored?

I hope the judge sends her to prison.

Do you really think people should go to federal prison for violating fine print in a website TOS? Shall I make Vile the next test case?
