Cyber Bully

I believe there is no way to actually make a "true" profile. Online people can be anyone they want. If my friends saw my picture attached to a page that claimed a was a bio-chem major from California, this would be false. However, I could not attach a picture and make the profile totally fictitious. I think by having real identity attached with repercussion's to a page is the only way to know it is real.

This case is awful, I remember when it happened. The mother is clearly at fault, but I am sure she never imagine it would lead to such great extents. There is no reason for a mother to be tampering with the lives of 13 year old girls. Although, Megan's mother should have talked to her about on-line relationships and should have been more aware of what her daughter was doing online.

Personally, I do not see any pleasure or positive aim for trolling. In the case of Mitchell it slandered him and caused further pain to his family and friends. I guess the aim for trollers would be to cause a laugh and prove that they can hack anything.
I disagree with both Jason, I don't believe in either, but I do not think anything is wrong in a court of law.
