This story just Pisses me off so Bad. I see RED when I think of it. I’m talking about the story of the teenage girl that commited suicide because of what a neighbor purposely did. Since I can’t explain as well as ther media, I’m going to paste the story by the Fox affiliate in St.Louis where the girl lived.
At the End of the Story I posted the link to The Smoking Gun where you can read the Police Reports.
The Woman that was Responsible for the CHILDS death is:
Lori Janine Drew
269 Waterford Crystal Dr.
St. Charles, Missouri 63385
636.272.2670
Please Let Her Know How you Feel BE Megans Voice
Did an Internet prank lead a St. Charles County teen to take her own life? Her parents say their daughter was driven to her death by online attacks led not by other teens, but by adults. No law was broken, there was no real crime, but it is all a real tragedy.
“She was our baby. We absolutely miss every single second of her,” says Tina Meier as tears fall down her face.
Tina talks about Megan’s laughter like she can still hear it. “She just had an unbelievable, hysterical laugh, where she would just not breathe and then she would giggle, then it would turn into this high pitched squeal,” Tina says.
And there was her smile, wide and happy, the smile of a girl about to be 14, about to get her braces off. Not a girl about to end her life.
“She thought life was wonderful,” Tina says.
Tina admits her daughter had battled depression and ADD, and was on medication to help with both. But a new school, new friends, and a new account on MySpace, strictly monitored by mom and dad, were making life better.
“I thought we were as vigilant as we could be as parents with all the things in place, and even with that, no matter what I did, I still couldn’t protect her.”
“The computer rules were that it was going to be a private MySpace page. We were going to have the password only, she wasn’t going to have the password, all the computers in our house had passwords, so none of the children could get on,” Tina says. “I had to be able to approve all the content on that page, and I had to approve who was going to be added to the page.”
“She got this email from this boy named Josh Evans,” Tina explains.
Josh was cute and asking to be added to Megan’s list of “friends” on the page. Tina reluctantly let him have access to her daughter’s account. They were friends first, then they called each other boyfriend and girlfriend. But they never met. Then Josh got mean.
“Megan gets an email on her MySpace from Josh saying that he didn’t know if he wanted to be friends because he heard she wasn’t nice to her friends,” Tina recalls.
That was one night. Tina comforted Megan, telling her not to worry about it. The next day more messages appeared from Josh and other people.
Tina had to take her younger daughter to a doctor’s appointment, and even though there were strict rules about Megan not being online without supervision, she left without making sure Megan logged out. Tina called back a few minutes later to find her daughter in tears over the things being said about her. She told Megan to log off, but Megan didn’t. When Tina came home, Megan said she felt like she was under attack from everyone, even from Tina, who was furious her daughter did not do as she was told.
Megan ran upstairs to her room. Tina and her husband Ron began talking about the problems with the online account. Less than 20 minutes passed.
“And I just got this horrible feeling in my stomach,” Tina says. “I just took off running upstairs and opened her door and I found her.”
Megan hung herself in her closet.
Weeks later, a friend told the Meiers that Josh Evans never even existed.
“That’s the biggest tragedy of the whole thing,” says Ron. “An adult did it.”
The Meiers say a neighborhood family created Josh to see if Megan would say bad things to him about their own daughter. There is a police report, where the neighbors admit it.
“I believe that it’s no different than somebody handing her a loaded gun,” Ron says.
“How could you do that to somebody?” asks Tina. “A child!”
The police report was filed by that neighbor and it accuses the Meiers of property damage. The Meiers say when they found out about the internet hoax, they did lose their tempers, damaging the family’s property. They say they are responsible. But they want to know who is responsible for Megan.
“We went to the St. Charles County sheriff’s department, the prosecutor, the FBI got involved,” Ron says. “But in the end they had to say there’s nothing they could do.”
“We were hoping and praying that something would come, some justice would come. We had to keep quiet about it because everybody said keep quiet, keep quiet and let justice prevail. Well, this is where it’s gotten us.”
Justice never came. Megan never turned 14, never got her braces off.
Since they can’t change their past, they want to change the law.
“Because there is not a law that it can fit into people are saying, ‘Sorry, go change the law yourself. Put it in Megan’s name, then maybe it won’t happen to another family.’ So I guess if that’s what we have to do that’s what we’re gonna have to do. I will take every last breath I have to fight for Megan’s name,” Tina says. “The law needs to be changed so it never happens to a family again.”
Ron struggled speaking about what happened. “I think every parent, man, husband, father, tells themselves, ‘No one’s going to hurt my family.’ It happened.”
End of Article My Personal Wish. I hope Lori Drew never gets a moments peace. I hope down to her last breathe she is miserable. May she get what she gave.

I saw this on tv too and I am furious as well. How could anyone do, or allow, that to happen. :(
This is horrible. The mother and daughter who created a fake myspace should be punished. It’s horrible that something like this got so out of hand in the first place. What an immature adult.
This is so stupid. I hope this Lori person realizes that she destroyed a young girls life. I myself being a teenager I know it’s very depressing when a boy crushes your self-esteem. This story broke my heart.
This Lori person needs to get a life and grow up. This is horrible.
SHE SHOOULD BE SHOT TO DEATH
MAYBE THAT WAS TOO HARSH…. TINA AND RON MEIER SHOULD WATCH THE BITCH LORI DREW HANG HER SELF IN PUBLIC THATS WHAT SHOULD BE DONE… AND THE O’FALLEN POLICE DEPT ARE NO BETTER THEY SHOULD HAVE ARRESTED HER AND HER HUSBAND AND GAVE THEM A LIFE SENTENCE… IF MEGAN WAS MY LITTLE PRECIOUS GIRL THE DREWS WOULD BE DEAD AND I WOULD BE IN PRISON
THANK YOU
OH YEAH MRS DREW IF YOU READ THESE MY NUMBER IS 386 405 7077 FEEL FREE TO CALL
MIKE MAURER
Does anyone know if they’ve put the Drew’s in the FBI protection agency? I heard they were going to because of all the harrassment. I hope they don’t. I hope that family has to suffer every minute of the rest of their lives, ridiculed and have to live in isolation because they dont deserve to be apart of society. I hope their friends desert them, their family disowns them, and they live in the same self-hate they helped Megan create. I hope they become so depressed and miserable that they do the same to themselves that they drove Megan to. Lori, you are toxic waste, you are one of those pathetic old catty women whose prime was in high school so you are perpetually stuck in your teens and live vicariously through your daughter. You make me sick.
Posting someones personal information inviting other people to harass them is baseless and extremely irresponsible regardless of what that particular person may or may not have done as it has not been proven in a court of law……. i can believe those of you that have left comments…. none of us know who or what set up a fake myspace account… as it stands right now it is all hearsay so how about you all take a breather and remember that you dont know the truth 100% in a case like this
Ian,
Shutup, what the hell do you know about the internet? Its an eye for an eye online. Bits have no feeling. The moment Lori Drew acted as a facade and tricked this innocent girl into killing herself she brought this on herself. Personally I think that the internet is a privledge and once someone screws it up the community will have its say. Get the information out there, its just as free as it was for this woman to make a fake myspace page and provoke this girl. Call her, hack her, its her problem now. The internet will always know where Lori is and that’s her own fault. In my opinion this is even worse than if Lori had murdered someone… to drive someone to killing themselves is unimaginable.
If I had taken this case, Mrs. Drew would have gotten at least a manslaughter charge. Whoever the fuck took this case doesn’t know shit about law.
I would personaly kill that evil bitch if i had the chance.
She doesn’t deserve live on this planet.
It was a waste of tax payers money to even bring charges and prosecute this case. There is no justice to be had in this case. There was not a crime. There must be more to the situation prior to the myspace accounts and what happen through messages. These people were neighbors. They knew each other. And you can bet there is more to the story than what has been told. I want to know ‘who’ Megan was. What kind of person she was. It has been told that she had a school transfer due to bullying. Yet Megan is the person that had the mental problems. There is more to that. Ask anyone that has ever had to live with and deal with a child with ADD what it is like and you will hear more truth than has been told by Megan’s family. I saw an interview with Tina on the news and that woman is looking for blood and revenge. People are losing any sympathy they did have for her.
okay, so megan had mental problems but DUH! that lori drew took the opportunity to torment the girl. i just hope her daughter do not experience the same thing. who is in her right mind to do such thing, maybe it is lori drew who is having mental problems!
