A federal jury in Los Angeles issued the country’s first cyberbullying verdict Wednesday, convicting 49 year-old Lori Drew, of three misdemeanor charges of computer fraud for creating a false account on MySpace to trick 13 year-old Megan Meier who later committed suicide. Drew could face up to three years in prison and $300,000 in fines, though she has no previous criminal record. Her lawyer has asked for a new trial.

This whole situation is so sad and so sick. It terrifies me to have kids when cyber bullying is so common. Back in the day, bullying happened face to face, on bathroom walls, or in the school yard. Now, a child’s reputation can be affected by the cowardly click of a keyboard. And the saddest part of all, is that we have to fear that kids will not only be bullied by other kids but by parents? Parents!? My goodness, Lori Davis makes me sick.
