Do you think Lori Drew is a reader of PYSIH.com?
She might be.
It seems that someone left a comment in the article bearing her name. A comment in which Lori Drew attempts to explain the rationale behind her actions.
The comment appears to be the same post that was left on the meganhaditcoming blog.
The poster has an interesting perspective, to say the least.
According to the IP address of the individual making the comment, this comment could be from Lori Drew…or it might be a clever fake. I’m sure that Lori feels somewhat relieved at the announcement that she won’t face charges of any kind for her actions.
Read it and decide for yourself.
I’m Lori Drew
It’s time I dropped the charade. Yes, I made this blog. Yes, I’m Lori Drew.
My daughter had nothing to do with this. Everyone needs to leave her alone. None of you can possibly know her involvement, and none of you can possibly know what she’s gone through. She’s just a kid. She doesn’t deserve these brutal verbal attacks. Please stop.
Now that Mr. Banas has made public the announcement that there will be no charges filed against me or my family, I feel it is time to speak out about this tragic affair. I cannot count on any media organization to fairly represent my story, as they have grossly misrepresented and sensationalized the story so far. So, I must present my case here, on the blog that has been my only outlet.
You don’t understand what the last two years have been like, living in this town, dealing with these people. When we came here, the Meiers seemed like a great family with whom we could form a friendship. Tina sold us our house and our little girls became fast friends. It was typical. Sleepovers and vacations and events in the community. The girls were inseparable.
We knew Megan and we liked having her around, at first. But as the months went on, we saw a change in our daughter. She was increasingly disturbed and defensive. We thought the effects of puberty were taking hold. But, we soon realized the negative influence was Megan. Megan had her bright and perky side, but she also had her dark side. We knew that she suffered from depression, so we tried to be supportive and patient. We talked to Ron and Tina about our concerns, but they would have none of it. Their precious Megan couldn’t be the problem and they said we should feel bad for even suggesting it of a poor, mentally ill child.
It only got worse from there. Megan found out that we had gone to her parents and she worked to drive a wedge between our daughter and us. We fought back the only way we knew how: we supported our daughter and explained to her what we thought. She agreed with us, and that’s when the fallout started.
When Sarah stopped going along with Megan’s antics, Megan took it especially hard and lashed out. She called my daughter every nasty name in the book, swore to never be friends again and stormed out. Then a few days later they were friends again, Megan would try to manipulate Sarah, Sarah wouldn’t buy it, and Megan would become furious again. Then came the MySpace attack. Not the one you’re reading about in the news, but the one that started this whole thing.
After the final break-up in their frienship, Megan coordinated a MySpace attack on my daughter. Since she didn’t have access to MySpace herself, she had to work through friends. I wasn’t too surprised because I knew that Megan was grounded from MySpace the previous year after she made a fake profile with a friend to go prank and bully a classmate they didn’t like.
Fortunately, that prank didn’t go far, and neither did her latest attempted prank on my daughter. But the damage was done to my child, and I knew what kind of child Megan was, depression or not.
Now I had nothing but sympathy for Megan’s condition. But my sympathy has limits. When you come after my daughter and try to hurt her like that, my patience wears out. This troubled child was no longer able to poison my baby in person, so she decided to reach out on the Internet to do it instead. Like any parent, when you see the ill-behaved child next door causing trouble for your family, you want to wring the neck of the parents who let it happen. But, as Megan’s parents made it clear earlier, they were not about to come down on their precious Megan. I had no recourse with them. And, forbidding the children from seeing each other was not effective because Megan could simply harass my daughter online.
Then, my daughter heard that Megan was lobbying her parents to get her MySpace back. I was instantly terrified. That little monster was a tremendous poison for my daughter as-is. I didn’t want to think about what kind of damage she would do if she had total access to the internet. I talked the situation over with people I knew and trusted, who told me to be very afraid. Teenage bullying was rampant on MySpace, and there were very few, if any, legal options for people being harassed. Everyone’s advice was: if you’re harassed, your only option is to delete your profile and run. It won’t stop people from saying bad things about you, but at least you won’t have to see it.
I wanted to hide my daughter away from all of this, and delete her MySpace, but she begged and pleaded with me to let her stay. I know it’s MySpace and it’s a social hub for teens today and I didn’t want my daughter to be the only one without, so I relented.
Instead, I worked with a couple of people I knew to create a profile so I could keep tabs on Megan. They helped me add pictures and graphics and music so it would look like a boy that Megan would want to talk to. We didn’t totally know what we were doing with the Josh Evans persona, or where it would lead, so I kept it quiet. We did our best to shmooze Megan into opening up. I complimented her pictures and said how great she was. I very gently asked her about her school life and her friends hoping that if she was planning any attack on my daughter that we would be one step ahead of her and could take this evidence to her parents, show them what their daughter is up to so they would finally take action.
A couple of weeks went by and Megan was buying it. We were surprised at how she could be so nice to “Josh†and still have an undercurrent of negativity when she talked about school friends. We wanted to make sure she wasn’t going to try anything to get back at Sarah, so we kept the account going. When Megan started talking about being in love and wanting to do boyfriend/girlfriend stuff with “Josh” I got concerned. How do we keep going for information AND figure out a way to let her down gently once we were convinced nothing was going to happen? What if we let her down, and she regressed and came after my daughter anyway? I was becoming very confused and concerned then. Megan was unpredictable and I absolutely did NOT want her harassing my child. I didn’t know what to do, so I kept going. I played down her innuendo. Anytime she became explicit, “Josh” backed off and kept the compliments above board.
Then I found out that Megan’s parents were actively monitoring the account! Everything that had been going on, they were witness to. This troubled me deeply: were they not concerned when their 13 year old daughter wanted to have heavy duty make out sessions with a 16 year old boy? Hello!
I had “Josh” friend other people that Megan knew all the while so that if anyone else knew of anything that was going to happen, we’d have that much more chance of staying ahead of the game. One of the girls we friended even figured out that the profile was fake. We let her in on it, and asked what she wanted. Turns out, she wasn’t friendly with Megan, either, so she wanted to help. I gave her access to the account.
It wasn’t long after that that we saw what was being said on other accounts: Megan was still mad at Sarah and was very quiety spreading cruel rumors. She kept it off her own MySpace because she knew that kind of stuff would get her grounded off it again. I was furious! Not only was Megan obviously not going to stop until she had her revenge, but now there was no way to get any evidence about it.
That’s when I decided I would have to teach Megan a lesson and give her a taste of her own medicine.
I decided that I would shut down the Josh account, and not be nice about it. Megan’s feelings be damned, and to hell with her consequence! I was going to protect my daughter no matter what. So I sent the break up e-mail to Megan saying that Josh didn’t want to be friends because Megan was very cruel to her friends. Naturally, Megan freaked, and I tried to keep the messages short and sweet. As a last resort bargaining chip, I figured that if she really loved Josh then maybe he could pressure her into stopping her lies. But it didn’t work, and the situation devolved lightning fast.
Megan was screaming at Josh for answers on who he had been talking to: she wanted to know who ratted her out so she could take out revenge on them, too. I shared Megan’s messages with everyone involved and encouraged everyone to stand up against her and not take her crap anymore.
Instead, once the word got out about Megan, so did all her romantic replies, as well as a few secrets and the MySpace crowd ganged up on her.But I didn’t realize that this group would react that way. I expected a certain amount of bullying, and I was OK with it. I wanted Megan to get a taste of what she had been dishing out this whole time. But I didn’t want it to go as far as it did. It’s true that the slut and fat references came out of what I shared. And by the time I was done with work on that day, the bullying against Megan had progressed pretty far. I had heard about the “better off without you” message and that’s when I told everyone to cool it. Megan had been punished enough, and I was satisfied that she would think twice before bullying or manipulating anyone again.
That night I saw the ambulance lights at the Meier house, and then I saw them take Megan out on a stretcher. I was stunned and horrified. I wasn’t sure what had happened, and when they had said Megan tried to kill herself, I didn’t believe it. Yes, Megan suffered from depression, but she was always laughing and smiling when we were on vacations, or at sleep overs. After the shock wore off, I panicked: what if Megan ended her life after what happened on MySpace? It seemed ridiculous. When kids were bullied, they went to their rooms and cried - even the depressed ones. They didn’t hang themselves.
I was distraught over the event, so I instructed the key people involved to stay quiet to protect themselves against any counter-bullying, and I deleted the Josh profile. I kept the truth from the Meier family because there was simply no reason to come forward. Their little girl died the next day at the hospital. Their lives were destroyed. What good would it do to inform them that their daughter’s MySpace boyfriend was a fake? They wouldn’t believe that their daughter was a MySpace bully and a real life manipulator when she was alive, so why add to their grief now? I stayed quiet. I went to the funeral to pay my respects to this troubled child who took herself to a tragic end. We mourned the loss of a girl who once was a good friend. We all tried to get on with our lives.
Little by little rumors of the cause of Megan’s suicide spread. Of course the Josh break-up was mentioned, as was the MySpace bullying. People talked about the need to stop MySpace bullying. There were a couple of news reports, but it never went anywhere.
Until six weeks later when one of the girls involved decided to link me to the issue. When Megan’s parents found out that the Josh account was me, they focused all of their rage and pain and guilt at me. Instantly, what had been a mysterious suicide with no definite answers became a personal vendetta.
Just like Megan, her parents showed their dark side and scared the holy hell out of me when they dumped our smashed foosball table on our driveway. Instantly I knew we were dealing with unbalanced people. Aggravated by their child’s death and their own culture of anxiety, I very much feared for my family. I made sure to report the incident to the police so the Meiers would know that we would stand up for ourselves and that the police were watching, should they choose to do something rash.
A little bit after that, I decided to try to diffuse the situation and confront the parents. I would lay out everything I knew, all the intent, and everything I thought. If they didn’t want to accept the truth about their daughter, then there was nothing else I could do. But I would at least try. Unfortunately, Tina & Ron would have none of it. They wouldn’t talk to us, they wouldn’t deal with us. Ron pretty much came unglued when we made one last attempt. They had nothing but raw hatred for us, and they wouldn’t listen. That’s when I realized it was hopeless.
The police investigation was especially frightening. We cooperated as best we could. I provided my statement, but I was not satisfied with the officer who took it. He got most of the details wrong, and he left out intricacies that I’ve explained here. When I tried to get the report corrected, an officer at the desk said she was familiar with our case, and flat out refused to allow us to amend our statement. That was the beginning of the backlash. That it came from a police officer truly shook us.
The investigators asked both us and the Meiers to remain quiet about the issue while they conducted their work. They warned us of small town mob violence and undue media attention. We agreed and went on with our lives. We heard almost nothing for nearly nine months. Our lives seemed to be getting back to normal, despite the family down the street that still grieved visibly and had devolved into fights and separation. I truly felt bad for them. They lost their baby, and now they were tearing themselves apart because the pain wasn’t getting any better. I made sure to kiss and hug my Sarah every night and tell her how much I loved her. We actually grew closer from it.
Then the investigation was over. No charges would be filed. We were relieved. It felt like a weight had finally been lifted from us. But not so for Tina & Ron. They had focused their rage on us and blamed us for everything. I could understand their pain and their guilt, but I had had enough of their accusations. One day I did snap and told Tina to “give it a rest.” Looking back, it was insensitive to say. But, you have to understand that for months we had been dealing with a family that didn’t want to listen to our side of the story and only called for us to “be gone.” Like I said, my sympathy has limits.
After the investigation, Tina made it clear she wasn’t going to let this go. We weren’t sure what to expect, but we had grown to be dismissive of her and her incoherent ranting. Then came the newspaper article, which instantly painted us as hoaxers who were out to make Megan kill herself.
You see, this is why I now have an extreme distrust for any media: they paint the story in whatever way gets the most readers. Everyone from Pokin to Andersoon Cooper has painted this story as if we set out to destroy Megan, as if her suicide was a foregone conclusion of our actions. But it’s not. We didn’t know Megan was going to do what she did. If we knew it was going to end like that, I wouldn’t have started this whole thing. I had no intention for Megan to be so drastic. I wanted her to learn a lesson so she could be a better person. I didn’t want her to die.
Then Sarah Wells outed me. Then the hate and harassment and threats poured in. Even against my daughter. First there were dozens of calls, then hundreds, then there was national news, and everyone went crazy.
That’s why I started this blog and posted as “Kirsten.” I was so angry at the world for being so unfair, especially when it came to my daughter whom I had sworn to protect from all of this. I took a low blow at Megan’s memory because I desperately wanted the world to at least get a glimpse of the truth.
But that’s all over now. The final word from authorities has come down that there will be no charges, so I don’t have to remain silent. There’s no point in hiding anymore. The internet has made it clear that mob revenge must prevail, even if there’s no justice in it. So be it.
Here I am, internet. Come get me.
Update:
The meganhaditcoming site was (in all likelihood) not done by Lori Drew, as the author of the two articles on that site (both of which have since been deleted) has come forward and announced that he is someone who was sick of the way the Drews have been treated.

Can i say ignorance is not an excuse? you perceived her as being happy most of the time, yet you know about her depressions? so basically you figured, that as far as you can tell, she’s really not all that depressed and can take the internet abuse? can i see your medical degree please? the fact that you “diagnosed” her as not being that depressed at all doesn’t make it less of a crime you see. the legal system may have waived your responsibility, the internet community has not and time served on internet is a life sentence.

your actions resulted in the death of a teenager!!! i think what you did with ‘josh’s’ myspace is stalking!!! why didnt yor report your concerns to myspace instead of stooping to her level?

Who cares why you did it….you still did it…causing a young girl to kill herself!!!!

Its funny. When I was her age, all of my friends did the same thing, including me. One day we would be friends, the next day, not, people talking about people, insults, etc. The whole ridiculous thing. Lori shouldn’t act like her daughter was being attacked, and this is why this “started”. She was probably running her mouth to all her litle friends too. It doesn’t matter what YOUR DAUGHTER SAID ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BLAH BLAH BLAH. They are kids…no…TEENAGE GIRLS!!! If it was that bad, tell your kid not to speak to megan. If she continued, tell her to grow a pair when someone makes fun of her. Shes a teenager. It only gets worse from there. Are you going to be there in 30 years when she has an office job and her ignorant 68 year old co worker is passing rumors about her around the office to try to get her fired because she doesnt like her? Idiot.

How long until they go bankrupt and lose the nice house?
If they had jobs and worked for someone else, they’d be okay. But the problem with running your own business is that your name is your brand, and the name of Lori Drew is now and forever rightfully tarnished.
Maybe they should change their names and start over. But of course they’d have to go to court to do that, and it would become a matter of public record.
Funny this, this internet, Lori. You didn’t have it when you were growing up, but it’s never going to go away. The account of what you did to the Meier family will still be evergreen when you are long underground.

You know, perhaps we should start segregating the bitches you get in high schools and culling them, because this woman is what happens when they’re allowed to grow unchecked: their brains simply don’t develop and all they’re capable of doing to contribute to society is breed and be cruel to other women, thus backing up thousands of years of patriarchy by reinforcing the stereotype that women are stupider than and morally inferior to men.
This might not have been such a problem in the days when maternal mortality was running at 40% or so and, because of their propensity to marry young due to their total lack of life-skills, your average bitch wouldn’t last much beyond the age of 30, but now modern medicine allows them to live and that sickening sense of entitlement (the one that could choke a fucking sperm whale)that they develop doesn’t go away. Just look up there for proof, people.

CPS needs to come take the Drew’s daughter from Lori and Curt before they can damage her further. The examples they’ve taught her, the use of her as an excuse for their own despicable behavior, it’s all beyond simple bad parenting. It’s absolutely disgusting.
Take that child away and get her into a decent home with responsible, nurturing, well-adjusted parents before another generation of screwed up, sociopathic hate is unleashed on any more kids.
[Reply]
Wow, I do hope that Megan’s family sue’s the shit out of the Drew family! They are well within their rights and as the story unfolds, I’m sure Tina and Ron will have plenty to use as evidence to this tragic event.
You know, you have to worry and wonder about people like Lori. I am a single Mother of four children. My oldest is a girl who is now 18 and in college. I remember the “fights” she’d have with friends. I also remember that I never got involved with any of them! I can’t imagine why I would. Unless there was something criminal going on. Now, in this case a grown-ass woman portrayed herself to be a teen-age boy and allowed the conversations to turn sexual. Isn’t that a crime?
I really don’t know what else to say. I can say that all of my sympathy lies with Megan’s family and her true friends. Also to Lori’s daughter who was dragged into a national story because her Mother is a dumbass.
I know it’s wrong, but I believe there is a very special place in Hell for Lori Drew.
[Reply]
It is a sad sad situation no doubt, and what they did was wrong again no doubt. Criminal and or jail time no way. Obviously I am in the minority here but Lori I don’t think we will see you in hell.
Megan sounded slightly unstable and although Lori D may have helped push her there I believe her parents are more responsible for her actions than Lori D. If your daughter is that unstable you do not allow her to do things that apparently enrage her. Honeslty, I think it was not a matter of if Megan would have killed herself but when.
[Reply]
Typical of a woman whose sense of compassion and responsibility never matured past 5th grade to deflect all the ills of a relationship onto a 13 year old girl.
Hmmm Lori. Who was SUPPOSED to be the responsible one?
Ah. I remember. It was the PARENT.
It is too late for you to grow up. It’ll never happen, since it hasn’t by now. I only hope you’ll send your own children to be reared by REAL grown ups so they don’t fail to mature and end up to be as warped and sick as you are.

So yshe didn’t know how to deal with Megan bullying her daughter on Myspace? She obviously didn’t think about it too long, but there is the “block me” button, which beats the hell out of this evil bitch harassing a teenage girl.
I really can’t believe she is making herself out to be the victim here!!
Oh, and she must have felt SO terrible about Megan’s death…that’s why in the police report, she put that she didn’t feel as bad because she knew Megan had attempted suicide before. Come on!!
What it boils down to is that a grown woman harassed a teenage girl, and that’s why people are so pissed about it! And no, they can’t prosecute her for it, but she WILL be punished, as she is one of the most hated women in the country.
Lori Drew, have a shitty rest of your life.

I can almost sympathize. Almost. We all want to protect our children, but only the foolish actually try to. Life lessons are better learned young. Adults interfering unnecessarily in children’s affairs aren’t helping them in the least.
When all was said and done, you should have had the balls to apologize. You are defending your actions even though they were horrible. You couldn’t have known what would happen, but you did know that it wouldn’t come out rainbows and sunshine.
[Reply]
If this truly is Lori Drew, I think it is especially telling that she at no point takes responsibility for this situation. It was Megan’s fault for being a manipulative bully. It was the fault of the teenager who helped maintain the profile. It was the Meier’s fault for not stepping in and disciplining Megan. It was all the kids who joined the cabal and ganged up on Megan while Lori was at work. I mean Jeez, it appears that it was everyone’s fault but hers. And can I just say that I LOVE the “she started it” excuse coming from a grown woman. Ironically Mrs. Drew became the very person she was allegedly trying to stop Megan from being. Instead of taking the high road and teaching her daughter a valuable moral lesson, Mrs. Drew chose to engage in the very behavior from which she claims to be protecting her daughter. Clearly she feels her actions were justified which may be the most disturbing part of all.
[Reply]
Well, if that was written by Lori, it just shows she’s the psychopath I thought she was. No remorse, no sense of responsibility, justifying her own actions to the end. She stalked and seduced a little girl and pushed that girl to suicide by inflicting emotional abuse.
What a complete piece of crap Lori Drew is. And yes, her name will be kept alive on the internet forever more. There’s a Wikipedia page on the case. There are countless blogs and bulletin boards and news archives with the story. The story has been published in People Magazine and many others. It may quiet down somewhat, but it’s never, ever going away.
Someday, Lori’s daughter will realise what a complete psychopath her mother is and then I wonder what will happen….
Karma is a bitch, Lori Drew.
[Reply]
I hope Curt Drew divorces his bitch and takes away the girl. Lori needs to be tied up in the town square. Or maybe drawn and quartered. She is not good with choice, so let the internet decide. Maybe everyone should send her a Christmas card and stuff her mail box with good wishes.
[Reply]
Lori,
You went somewhere that no sane adult would ever dream of going. I had friends who were bullies when I was a kid, but my mom stayed the fuck out of it. Sarah should have delt with it herself; she would have come out of it a stronger, more complete person. Your actions are inexcusable! You can’t fight your child’s battles. What is Sarah going to do when she’s an adult and has REAL problems? And now you’ve given her a whole new set of problems, problems she should have to deal with. I feel sorry for Sarah for having the worst fucking mother of all time.

Mrs. Drew,
Two wrongs never make a right, and you are the adult. :(

Lori Drew is the type of person that has always yelled victim. She didnt’ start it, she was defending herself. Doens’t matter your actions hurt a child. It amazes me that she thinks her daughter was so innocent. I am in my 30’s and reading her blog it was very scarey because I have an internet enemy that sounds just like her. It’s amazing what women with no life think they can get away with!
[Reply]
I’m not going to blame one or the other. Yes, Lori did wrong by getting into her child’s personal teenage issues but, she was just trying to stick up for her daughter which I think any mother would do. As for meghan she just had plain issues (not to be so rude). I have severe depression problems to and I have tried to kill myself but never over a fake internet romance. Meghan’s parents should have listened to Lori and at least asked if thier daughter was okay and if she needed to talk or somehting. Plus didn’t her parents even teach her boy’s are not everything. Also Lori should have taught her daughter to stick up for herself when these high school feudes happen. But as usual its to late to do the real parenting now. *tisk**tisk*

I agree Lori acts as if her daughter was so innocent in this whole case. But some kids just know how to be sneaky while others every little thing they do they get caught.
And I believe this is the case with these two girls. They both taunted each other. But Lori didn’t see the bad her daughter did and her daughter acted sweet and innocent. But I bet she was just as guilty if not more guilty. With a mom like that how can she be that innocent?
I know as a teen me and my friends had our fights we never had the internet back then but we would ignore the other one and try to get our friends we hung with to ignore the one we were mad at.
Then a couple days later we were friends again.
Our parents stayed out of it, they let us work it out. And guess what we did and to this day we are still friends.
What Lori did is immature and cruel.
The law may not have pressed charges against her or her family but what the rest of the public is doing makes their life just as bad. They are pretty much a prisoner in their own home.
Their business closed down, her husband lost his job at the realtor company, her daughter had to quit school. The neighbors don’t want anything to do with them. If I were them I would move.
But doing anything to harm them physically is wrong, or harm any animal they may have. That is wrong.
I doubt Lori has learned a lesson here as she has never said she was sorry, she can’t even admit to what she has done. She is in denial.
One day it will hit her, one day karma will get her. And I am not saying as a threat but one day she will feel the pain that Megan’s mom is feeling.
And then she will see, maybe.
I am not sure she has a heart, maybe she is like the Tin Man no heart, and no brain, and no courage, because she hid behind her computer screen.
She is evil!
Plain and simple!

While I find it sad and stupid that an adult would get involved in something as petty as Myspace Bullsh*t, I think it’s funny that no one is wondering why the parents of an obviously emotionally unstable child were allowing her to talk to some random boy online in the first place. Everyone gets bullied and picked on-online or not- we don’t hang ourselves because someone said something mean to us. That shows that Meghan had serious problems in the first place and she was not a baby either like everyone seems to think-she was of an age where if normal, she should be capable of rational thinking. Getting emotional as a teenage girl is normal-crying, screaming are all common. Getting sad because someone says you are mean is one thing-killing yourself is on the extreme end and a parent should know and be willing to acknowledge and help their child if they are depressed or mentally unstable like Meghan. Myspace is a place where people are supposed to be free to express themselves and talk to other people-meanness or not-if you don’t like it don’t accept comments and delete them as your friend. Maybe Meghan’s parents should have really been monitoring her Myspace Account and taken care of all that in the first place or realized that she was too sensitive to negative comments from other kids because of her low self-esteem and not opened up an account for her at all.
And if what Lori Drew says is true and even police officers are taking sides and not treating her and her family fairly, then that is sad and wrong because it is their job to remain unbiased no matter how pissed they are. Otherwise, take yourself off the case. We expect our public officials to conduct themselves in a professional manner and not take sides.
Lastly, don’t take this as supporting Lori Drew’s actions-I think that she was stupid and pathetic to take part in any of this at all-her daughter is the one who will suffer the most fallout because she will be hated at school and probably isolated. But that does not mean that the Drew’s are to blame for Meghan’s suicide-who’s to say that this emotionally unstable girl would have starting dating and gotten rejected and killed herself then? Her parents should ask themselve what they did wrong while Lori Drew should be kicking herself in her dumb ass for years to come.

Oh and another thing: what kind of responsible parent knowingly allows their thirteen year old daughter to strike up an online relationship with a 16 year old boy??
That’s what you call monitoring your child’s computer activity? You would be screaming obscenities at the Meiers’ if “Josh” had turned out to be a pedophile-and with the lack of self-esteem Meghan had she probably would have jumped at the chance to meet him too and gotten killed then. Stop enabling their crappy parenting skills- they failed as parents and so did Lori Drew. And don’t forget, those that are so eager to hunt down and hurt the Drew family, that counts as BULLYING TOO. So you are condoning the same actions that you are complaining about. What’s that old saying….two wrongs don’t make a right…..

What a load of BS that was. I cant believe that I actually read through all that crap and didnt vomit.
Although a few things come to mind after reading all that drivel:
1) If you seriously that terrified of a 13 year old girl, go to the police or something of that nature.
2) How is anyone to know that this whole situation started because of Megan and not Lori Drews daughter Sarah?
3) Lori Drew has obviously not passed the mentality of a 13 year old girl herself to act in such a catty manner.
4) Lori Drew is the reason some people should not be allowed to have kids.
My message to Lori Drew: You give women and mothers a bad name. Your mother must be proud that she raised such a vile c*nt like you. Being an outcast where you live is not enough punishment for you and the snotty little brat that you raised. A brick through your window, paint balls being shot at your house, nasty messages left on your answering machine & the media portarying you as a monster is nothing compared to what you deserve. Trust me honey, if it had been my daughter you had pulled that crap on…..there would be no place where you could hide, no rock big enough for you to crawl under cause I would haunt you and your disgusting family for the rest of your natural lives.

I am sitting here in shock. I can’t believe that a “woman” who did something as cruel as this “woman” did would write an open letter and blame the child/parents! Does the dumbass know they will use this. I guess not because she thought she wasn’t going to get charged when she wrote this!! She will be shown to have no remorse and she was at the FUNERAL for Meagan! Did Ted Bundy have a sister?
[Reply]
The Meirs swore to protect their child too! They just had no idea it would be a parent/neighbor down the street! Drew had enough of a relationship with the Meirs to store a X-mas gift at their house, then she wanted to be mean to their kid and now she wants everyone to leave her child alone? KARMA!! AND she still is so ignorant to make a comment about childrens’ depression and that they lock themselves in their room and do not kill themselves?!?!? Something tells me that Drew and her family have gotten a crash course in depression and just what it feels like to be shunned, gossiped about and not wanting to leave the house to face the day!
[Reply]
IF this is really was written by Lori Drew, I find her words rather hypocritical. She blathers on about how the Meirs would see no evil in their daughter, and how lame it was that in their eyes their “precious daughter”, as she constantly called Megan, could do no wrong. Yet is this not exactly how she paints her OWN daughter? HER daughter was the innocent one, it was MEGAN who did all the nasty stuff. HER daughter is perfect and wonderful and amazing, Megan is twisted and evil and monstrous. Its so ironic how she does the very thing she attacks the Meirs for. This woman needs a SERIOUS reality check. How she could remain so self-righteous is beyond my level of comprehension.

I truly hope this letter was written by Lori Drew. I hope that the Judge reads the cold callous, inappropriateness of it, and sentences her to 5 years for each of the 4 counts - to run consecutively.
20 years is probably about the right sentence for this loser. I believe that she did not intend for Megan to kill herself, but I absolutely believe that she was enjoying her nasty prank. As eloquently as this letter is written, it is easy to read between the lines and see that. She has had plenty of time to “refine” her story, but it’s still there. No matter how moralistic she attempted to present herself, it’s pretty clear that she is a teenage-wanna-be.
It makes me sick when I see irresponsible parents. This woman not only thought of, set up and carried out this hateful idea - she involved her own daughter in it. What? Was it a “bonding moment” between mom and daughter?
Anyway, I hope that she ends up in prison. No doubt that she will end up in hell, at least for a reasonably long visit. I just hope her daughter grows up more mature than Lori did. Of course, it would be hard to NOT be more mature than Lori Drew.
