More Crazy

OK, remember my shock at how adults act online? Well, lame message board slap fights don’t quite measure up to this.

This is a horrible story made worse by the fact that an adult had a hand in the Internet cruelty.

The woman who created the fake profile has not been charged with a crime. She allegedly told the St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department 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 mother from down the street told police that she, her daughter and another person all typed and monitored the communication between the fictitious boy and Megan.

I’m mean but I wish someone had been able to explain to that girl how little the opinions of Internet strangers matter. But I guess at 13, everyone’s opinions about you matter.
