Oh joy! Lori Drew is back in the news. Hearing her name tends to make my blood boil. However, it gives me something to blog about and express my feelings about her. This time, there is a delay in her case as the defense filed to dismiss the case. Excuse me? Did they say dismiss? Dismiss and Lori Drew should not even be mentioned in the same sentence if you ask me. She was convicted back in November of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress. The jury could not decide on the charge of criminal conspiracy. Really, should this woman skate by? Word on the street is that the Judge is questioning whether or not prosecutors should have brought charges against her. This is too much to digest right now.
Folks, despite what was on the books at the time when Megan died and Drew invented Josh Evans on My Space, this woman needs to be sentenced and spend time in jail. If Drew was so worried about what Megan was saying about her own child, why didn’t she approach Megan’s parents and try and find a way to resolve this? From what I understood, the two families were friends and their daughters were also friends. I am sure Drew knew Megan was clinically depressed and on medication. Clinically depressed people are fragile and this is the worst way anyone can handle them. There are much better ways to deal with this than going to My Space and setting up a bogus account as a teenage boy. I hold this woman 100% accountable for what happened to Megan. Megan was a 13 year old girl as was Drew’s daughter. Lori Drew was the adult and should be held accountable and definately should have known better.
This is one of the biggest problems we have in our society today. We tend to allow bad behavior to be swept under the rug. These bullies get off with nothing more than a slap on the wrist while their victims suffer lifelong trauma. They do not “learn lessons from their actions†but continue to harm others. I read and see it all the time. Where is the justice for Megan in this? If Drew walks in this, I do not believe any justice will be served. The Meier family will never have Megan again and will suffer life long affects of this. The thought of even dismissing this case sickens me. Who is to say Drew will not pull this again on another child who she believes is harming her daughter? Bullies do not learn lessons like normal people. They lack a conscience and believe rules and consequences do not apply to them. By not holding this woman accountable will only reinforce this. A normal, balanced and adjusted adult does not go after a child on the internet like this. However, a bully would.
I suggest to anyone out there to write a letter to this Judge and let him know how you feel. This case should not be dismissed and Drew needs to own this. At the end of the day, do we really need to be feeding another bully?

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIf she does walk, which I hope she does not, she will be outed wherever she goes. She and her family will have no place they can get away from the court of public opinion. I also read that businesses owned by her and her husband have either failed or in jeopardy of failing. Some small satisfaction, anyway.
I agree with you and also think that she should be punished by Child Welfare for helping her child to bully another child. What kind of mother is she? I would be talking to my son or daughter about doing just the opposite. What kind of role model is this woman? Not a very good one. The worse punishment for her would be to lose her children. The state should be investigating endandering the welfare of a child.
It always amazes me how many parents in this world never grasp the fact that they are more than parents they are teachers… what a horrible lesson to teach her own child.
What is the e-mail or mailing address for the Judge to send a letter. Drew knew that Megan was depressed, and by stalking and harassing Megam, Drew is responsible for Megan’s death. No matter what the sentence is Drew showed her true colors and now everyone knows she is a cold & cruel old woman who is responsible for causing the death of a child. Drew has never shown any remorse that I have heard of. Megan is an Angel now and we all know where Drew will go someday.

Sorry about the repeats. I’m old enough to be Drews mother so I guess I have an excuse for being senile.
This is truly galling all I can say. I am not the kind of person who gets shocked easily and this one certainly does. I am not surprised that Lori Drew is the most hated person and likely will be for years and decades to come. Lori Drew has to be most vile and worthless excuse right next to Osama bin Laden, Jim Jones, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Seung-Hui Cho. She resembles Fred Phelps in appearance and behavior. Both are psychopaths and deviants of the worst kind.
USS Yorktown, I’m not sure who Fred Phelps is. But if they ever make the Lifetime movie off this story, the person I’d cast to play Lori Drew is Matt Lucas of the BBC series Little Britain. If he just combined Marjorie the unpleasant weight-loss maven and Vickie the teenage pathological liar, he’d be within shouting distance of Lori, and Matt’s a talented guy, he could tweak it from there.
Take a look at Matt’s work. I really think he could nail it.
Natalie, Fred Phelps is the anti-homosexual whackjob who protests funerals of dead soldiers and victims of crime and disasters. He is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, USA and notorious for vile slogans like “God Hates Fags” and “Thank God For 9/11”.
There are several documentaries about him, mostly from England. One of them with Louis Theroux, called “America’s Most Hated Family”, which they are rightfully called. I put Lori Drew and Fred Phelps with other scumbags like Bernard Madoff and Osama bin Laden.
I will check out Matt Lucas’s work. He looks like he would make a good Lori Drew, even though he is a male. I would not be surprised if there is a movie about this case. It has been depicted in NBC’s Law and Order: SVU.
What happened to Megan is more than Any child should ever endure, and this woman played it to the fullest, resulting in a suicide. In addition- she Should’ve been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor since her daughter was involved in it and she has so far tried to deflect all blame elsewhere. That woman should have been investigated and Charged by the authorities for the illegal things she engaged in doing with her own daughter (online). Not Just the act of ‘accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress.’
If she walks, it will be an absolute travesty of Justice!
The real mystery, of course, is why the State of Missouri couldn’t find a single child endangerment law that applies to psychologically molesting a child. Because that’s what this fat old creep did.
Even if they can get a conviction under this statute, it’ll be more of a moral victory. They can’t give Lori the sentence she deserves under this law.
The good news: Lori’s broke! Her defense attorney says she won’t be able to pay a $5,000 fine if one is imposed. Scumbag defense attorneys are good at leaving you free and bankrupt. So at least that Waterford Crystal Drive house is bye-bye as a result of Lori’s hilarious prank on Megan.
We don’t take bullying seriously yet in our country. It’s almost seen as a normal rite of passage every child has to go through. I remember reading years ago that James Dobson says that we as parents must stand up for our kids if this is happening to them. We are their only advocates. I’m glad my parents went to school when it happened to me. I’m sure Megan’s parents would’ve put a quick stop to this if they had known. What an unnecessary death of such a precious girl!
This woman needs to be punished some how now that the court had decided she wont spend time in jail…*sigh*
I have no problem with people who post this women’s home address + home phone number, etc. on the web.
She should be made an example out of. She should have gotten 10 years, but since she didnt I have no qualms with people giving her a piece of their mind.
Obviously I’m not advocating violence of any kind against her or her family, nor vandalism of their property etc. But harrassment is another thing. If I happened to live by her I would have no problem waiting at the end of her driveway or picketing her or her husbands workplace and giving her a little taste of the hate she is so willing to spread.
The courts have failed that poor little girl by not punishing this disgusting monster.
I completely agree with you beemond, if I were Megan’s mother, I would make it my mission to stand in front of Lori Drew’s house EVERY SINGLE day with a blown up picture of Megan so she can see and think about what’s she’s done. I’d make sure the Drew girl saw it too because she wasn’t totally innocent in this whole ordeal…yes, she’s a child herself and with a mother like that, her view of morality is probably very twisted, but she’s still old enough to know right from wrong.
When I read these comments a couple of weeks ago, there was one calling her a fat pig. Where is that one? I liked it; she deserves every derogatory name anyone can think of to call her. I hope this haunts her until the day she goes (down below perhaps).

Okay…how about this. If the Gorman’s can make OJ’s life a living hell, why can’t the Meier’s do the same thing. Take Drew to civil court for wrongful death…and break their piggy bank. They already had to sell their advertising business. Get every penny she has. Make her live everyday with the reminder of what she did and instead of owning up…she weaseled out of it.
Lori Drew must die!!!
Lori Drew should be punished on the basis of cyber stalking, harassment, or having conversations of a sexual nature with a minor child, or something of that nature. What she did was wrong, as well as disgusting, but Megan is the one who decided to take her own life over such nonsense as online bullying. People who commit suicide usually do so because of many reasons, not just because of an online argument with people that you usually don’t even talk to or even know in real life. Also, since she had a pattern of misusing social networking sites in the past, I think her parents should have thought about it a little more before giving her access to a Myspace,or even the computer for that matter. That being said, people have been thrown in jail for committing similar types of offenses while acting as online pedophiles, and I can’t believe that angle hasn’t been examined by the authorities.
Lori Drew didn’t suffer legal consequences for her actions, but that doesn’t mean she got away with it. Her business was boycotted into bankruptsy, she and her rotten her family were forced to leave town, she no longer has any friends, and she has to live under an assumed name in another state. Her name is ruined and she’ll never have it back. Living one’s life looking over their shoulder all the time is not pleasant.
