Since some court somewhere had the basic common sense to ban this horrid woman from the internet – the VERY LEAST that could be done considering her actions – then I think that decision should stand!
Lori Drew can darn well waitress for a living or get a job cleaning offices. She should NOT have access to the internet! And that’s that!

Ms Bennett do you know who/where we could write to share our opinions and outrage and hope that we are heard so Lori doesn’t get what she wants AGAIN?

I hope Lori Drew gets fired!!!!

Justice was denied the Meier family but – hopefully – Lori Drew will never escape what she has done. It’s perplexing to me WHO would want to hire this woman however I have no doubt that her new employer will be “outed” eventually and pressured to fire her. The internet – which she used as a weapon against Megan – will most certainly be her undoing. Her reprehensible actions will stay documented online forever.

If she is going back online, maybe everyone should ban together and giver her a taste of her own soup. Bully her to death.

If Lori Drew had been an on line pervert looking to lure kids into her power, would this have even been an issue of her ever getting on line again. But here she is, so ridiculously immature and living vicariously through her child that she actually drives another child to suicide- and she doesn’t even care- but we are going to let HER have access to the internet again.WARNING—-ALL PARENTS THAT HAVE CHILDREN THAT MIGHT HAVE CIONTACT WITH DREW OR HER CRAZY FAMILY SHUT YOUR KIDS COMPUTERS OFF !!! This person is a total nut case. Evil and stupid, what a combination.

It’s pretty pathetic that Lori Drew will be allowed to use the Internet again (not like she didn’t use it while she wasn’t suppose to!) I wonder how her new neighbors feel in ?. I also wonder why a company like ? would continue to keep someone like ? employed after all of this time and even transfer his to the ? location? I guess that shows what type of company they run.

Also, has anyone wondered what company would ever hire Lori Drew? Can you imagine taking your children to the doctors office or any office for that matter and having that bitch help you . . . I don’t know if I would run or beat the shit out of her first?

I don’t know what this world has came to that no one feels as though they have to be held accountable for their actions, but it’s the world be live in today . . . HOW SAD!

“Folks, I DO have a problem with this. For starters, this woman took the life of a young girl who suffered from clinical depression by using the internet. She manipulated, plotted and set up a fake account as a 16 year old boy named Josh. As most abusers do, she showed her cruel streak and Josh turned against Megan which led to Megan committing bullycide.”

I hate to let facts intrude on your rant, but the fact is, she never sent any of the messages. Her daughter, an employee, and several of her daughter’s friends sent the messages.

It was the employee’s suggestion to set up the account, based on the fact that Megan and Lori’s daughter had set up a fake account the year previously. And because the employee told both of them that Megan was sending around lies about Lori’s daughter, and they wanted to trap her in the lies.

It was the employee that sent the most hurtful messages, but this was following a pretty ugly word fight that began with Megan and that ended up attracting people from all over. As these things do.

Lori Drew was guilty of being thoughtless, and petty, but not of driving Megan to suicide. Megan should never have had a MySpace account, and her parents should never have let a strange boy contact her and become her friend. And the kids? Well, the kids were cruel. But you know, kids are cruel online, that’s why parents have to be sure their kids can handle the environment. That’s also why many parents won’t let them “friend” anyone they don’t know.

A lot of people helped generate the circumstances that led to Megan killing herself, including her own parents, the kids, Lori Drew’s employee, Ashley Grills, Lori Drew, society as a whole, and her doctor for prescribing her anti-depression pills (when they aggravate teen suicide). In the end though, no one “murdered” Megan. She took her own life like many kids unfortunately do.

So next time, sprinkle a few facts over your rant.

Um Shelley, first off, I did edit Freedom 23’s comments. I can agree with you there, that info should be kept confidential. But our agreement ends at that point.

I do not need to explain myself to you and I am hardly a hypocrite. We all have a right to our opinions. No need to call any witch hunt. Have a good weekend…..

Shelley- Are YOU Lori? Or a relative by any chance? I see nothing about Lori Drew’s actions (or her co-horts) to defend.
But oh yeah, let’s blame an already suffering ill teenager for everything. I hope you keep hiding, Lori, because you know what they say about “the hounds from hell….”

Anyone who defends Lori Drew is in the same league with people who think Eric Harris/Dylan Klebold was justified in attacking Columbine High School because they were bullied (they were not by the way) or Osama bin Laden attacked New York, Arlington, and Shanksville because America was imperialist (another lie from Al-Qaeda). They are the kind of people who sympathize with mass murderers and serial killers. They are just as bad as the criminal themselves.

Drew thought the same way too like what Harris/Klebold and Bin Laden thought, they had it coming. They should go seek help and get a MRI on their head. As far as I am concerned Drew just as bad as Charles Manson and Bin Laden.

Schap711, you’re doing the same thing by being judgemental and just want to hear what you want to believe in. You’re know better than Lori Drew. Your mentality is similar to Al-Qaeda, Manson Family, Nazis, and Communist do. GET A CLUE!

So Drew wants to get back on the internet? Why? What part of her job is so internet dependent? If she knows that she can’t get on the internet, why is she applying for jobs that require it? Most jobs do not require internet usage unless it is something that heavily involves computers. The only reason I could see her having to use computers at work is so she can use e-mail & most work places do not have e-mail that is usable outside of the office. (For instance, my mother’s office e-mail can only be accessed inside of her office.) I’m smelling a bit of a rat here. I think that the judges should take a very good look at Drew’s “job” & ensure that it is necessary for her to have internet usage.

Personally though? I don’t think she should be allowed to use it. Do we allow thieves to work in banks? Alcoholics to work in ABC stores? People who have been banned from certain things don’t automatically get their privileges back because “it’s hard to get work”. Try not breaking the law first. Laws are here for a reason & if Drew didn’t want to have her life made more difficult then she shouldn’t have made the decision to terrorize Meier, regardless of who first suggested it. She made her bed. Now she has to sleep in it.

If Drew can’t do the work without the internet then she should find another job. She is a criminal & should be held up to the same restrictions that any other criminal has if they were to commit a crime.

The woman was acquitted of all criminal charges. There’s no legal basis for the ban to continue. Her conduct was reprehensible, but to compare it to that of Bin Laden and the Columbine killers is ludicrous.

I know this thread is 5 1/2 years old, but I felt compelled to say something after Shelley Powers’ comments above, where she claimed Lori Drew didn’t have as much to do with the situation as the original post said.

Shelley is wrong. Lori created the MySpace and admitted as such multiple times; besides, just because an 18-year-old employee suggested it to Lori doesn’t absolve Lori of responsibility for her own actions.

The employee, Ashley Grills, apparently went into therapy after the incident, because of the guilt she felt regarding what had happened. Lori, meanwhile, told the press that it was no big deal, just a “joke.” As has been mentioned, she went to the funeral and kept engaging with the Meier family as though she had not been involved in the incident.

And let’s not forget that a grown woman decided it was a good idea to spy on a teenage girl just to find out if that girl was spreading rumors or not. This woman also allowed her 14-year-old daughter to get involved in this deception.

Lori also admitted to sending messages, and only later changed her story after she learned the FBI was investigating.

Drew was found guilty of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act initially, though the verdict was overturned because the judge felt that criminalizing the violation of an ISP’s TOS was overly broad and that existing laws did not explicitly cover that.

I understand Shelley wants to defend Lori (her friend, perhaps?) but by any reasonable standard, what Lori did was beyond just “thoughtless.” And it is in no way accurate to label this post as a lie-filled rant, as Shelley implied.

I just saw the megan meier story on ID I really think that what lori dean did was despicabke she should be punished and NEVER allowed yo use internet AGAIN

Lori Drew will always have the mind of a 13 yr old girl. This is why, with her daughters assistance, she pulled this off.
Putting the Christmas gift of her own child in their garage was solely meant to inflict pain. Pity is all that is deserving of this hollow shell of a “human being” -a term loosely used in this instance). Void of any moral compass, Lori Drew will roam any space of the planet willing to take her, no doubt with her delusion- she is loved & respectable.
We must keep in mind, the high point of Lori Drew’s day was spent in complete anticipation Megan coming home from school to log on. That’s it. The hollow shell had nothing more.
If only Megan knew then what she knows now, the power she held over Lori Drew. We know, she will always possess that power over Lori Drew=she will never escape this.
Any article (blog) claiming to have been written by Lori Drew very well may not have been written by Lori Drew, but we KNOW she or her offspring will read it, we know she has so little control of her megalomania, the power it would take for her to not pretend she is someone else, is beyond her capabilities.
She is & always will be, portraying herself as someone she is not. The iconic, middle aged, desperate, unfulfilled, wanting, morally bankrupt, Catfish.
Sincerely, we can see this woman stealing online images to entice young men or women into her den of iniquity under more false names, as it’s not only men with pedophiliac tendencies. Imagine if it were a man caught in the place of Lori Drew.
Is Lori Drew no less of a threat just because she has born a child? Certainly not.
The Lori Drew’s of our planet are the scourge of humanity, she is thus.
Lori Drew will always hide behind another name, she will forever deflect, she will never own it. She isn’t capable as she is devoid of capability.
Time will pass… but every once in a while someone like me, who lives in Europe, will see this story & pass it on, making Lori Drew’s life on this planet, a little smaller.
She is a footnote, nothing more.
Insignificant.
Portly & diminutive.
A sad & pitiful representation of mankind.
Pity her, she has nothing to give.
Lori Drew, is devoid, destitute, of emotion. No matter what words she utters= there is barren wasteland.
