There are several simple tests for ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Most Psychiatrists can administer them. I suggest you try one.

Let us not now in our anger indulge ourselves in an orgy of outrage and hate but instead let us pray that the two families might forgive each other’s trespasses so that there might again be peace and concord between them. Let us loose ourselves of our self righteousness so that we might know that we all are sinners who only by the grace of the LORD do we walk upon this earth and that we all deserve nothing and that we ourselves all have at one time or another caused injustices to befall others. Let us not follow the examples of those who, in their eagerness to pursue justice, cause injustices to fall upon others as Mrs Wells has done but instead let us follow the path that Christ has laid out before us; that of forgiveness and love. I beseech all of you let go of your anger and to find a more constructive and -dare I say- more Christian response to this tragedy that has fallen upon both families and upon their neighbours.

Well put ..

I wish we could turn back the clock, have Megan’s life back and all still keep the life lesson… But we can’t.

I feel certain in my heart that Megan is looking down at us, saddened and wishing that we would let this go…

I wish we could too. But we must prevent these actions from reoccurring and the best way I know is to show people examples of other people’s cruelty and the results… History is the best teacher of actions and the resulting reactions, cause and effect.

I wish all of you A Happy Holiday Season and my Special Thoughts and Prayers go out to all involved

Whether Lori Drew actually wrote the series of messages that led Megan down the path to her suicide is in question. However, she had control of the password and account information and as an adult, should have shut down that account rather than sanctioning and continuing it over a span of six weeks.

How on earth would she ever have been able to get out of it without causing Megan heartache?

I believe that she did not intend for anything to happen that would have caused Megan’s suicide. On the other hand, she was the adult and should have known better than to even consider, much less implement, a deception that was dead-ended and cruel. Why invent a boyfriend? Why not just a girl who was a friend of a myspace friend? The boyfriend ruse was clearly intended to get Megan’s attention and gain her trust rapidly.

Like Phil, I am not, nor have I ever, advocated any harm coming to the Drew family. In fact, I’m concerned for Lori Drew’s daughter and her forced isolation from friends and others as a result of the threats being made against her. This post and the others I’ve written have called for legal recourse against Lori Drew’s actions, which she cleverly avoided by spreading around the login information and being fortunate enough to walk right in between the lines.

If there is no legal recourse, I certainly do not advocate vigilante justice. That’s even more wrong than the original act.

However, society has the right to exclude her as a result of her actions, and that’s what is happening now.

As to those who say that Megan’s parents were irresponsible about letting her on MySpace when they knew she was fragile, I will reiterate: Until the day that everything blew up, that interaction was a positive thing in Megan’s life, not negative. And when it did blow up, it did it fast and furious, which is typical of flame wars in online communities. It happened randomly, with no rhyme or reason, and I’m sure it devastated Megan. I wish she would not have acted on her suicidal impulse, but she did, and yes, no one tied the knot on the noose for her. However, to discover after the fact that the instigator was a supposedly responsible parent is just about beyond comprehension.

This blog-site was intended to discuss these particular events, NOT ALL HAPPENINGS IN GENERAL. At least that is how I understand it (please forgive me if I am wrong)

This WAS NOT a real boyfriend… though Megan was led to believe It WAS prompted by actions of deception directed by Lori Drew. This was a trap…

If you and DARWIN (whoever they really are) want to discuss Laws of the jungle or even better yet, strategy of JUNGLE WARFARE where traps are laid in order to surprise a stronger adversary,.. then I would be glad to engage…

Frank… you need to step back and see the whole picture for what it was.. a physiological trap to do harm to an ADHD thirteen year old child whom Lori Drew knew was dealing with the effects of ADHD.

You and DARWIN are welcome to deliver all the smoke screening you want… the owner of this blog site has allowed an open format… But know that I will respond to anyone who tries to redirect others views from the truth..

I have NO connection to the Meier’s family, I have never met them.. spoke to them nor had any communication of any kind with them. I am just the grandfather of two ADHD grandchildren of Megan’s age and have been touched by the story..

I do NOT want any physical harm to come to anyone in the Drew family… I DO want to see Lori Drew spend time behind bars… Those are the rules of our society..
An adult knowingly help create an ongoing lie that led to a child’s demise..

These are ONLY MY OPINIONS from my view and I do NOT claim to know all truths… But my opinions ARE educated hands-on opinions… But I do know there IS a GOD and GOD knews all truths and Lori Drew and her supportive friends and family will meet their maker sooner or later… Thank God for her.. God is more forgiving than men.
