came across this story on yahoo .. very interesting .. also very fucked up ..
Megan Meier thought she had made a new friend in cyberspace when a cute teenage boy named Josh contacted her on MySpace and began exchanging messages with her.
Megan, a 13-year-old who suffered from depression and attention deficit disorder, corresponded with Josh for more than a month before he abruptly ended their friendship, telling her he had heard she was cruel.
The next day Megan committed suicide. Her family learned later that Josh never actually existed; he was created by members of a neighborhood family that included a former friend of Megan's.

Mo,
That's the most horrible story I have read lately about online "friends".
It's just beyond sick that a mother would help her own daughter create a fictional character to try to lure in an emotionally unstable young girl and then hurt her-it's vicious.
What was she thinking? It almost goes hand in hand with the Texas mother who had a rival cheerleader of her own daughter's killed. As adults it is up to us to teach our own children morals and ethics, that mother did neither-I would venture to say she should be charged with child abuse of her OWN kid also. What a sick sick woman-what a horrible thing to happen all the way around. So many thoughts on this, those are just a few.
yeah i agree with u guys .. this is beyond mean .. this is plain evil ..
Whoah! :|
