I'm of the opinion that anything is permissible in music, movies, books, games, and so on, but my mom holds the opposite opinion.

It would have been incredibly easy for me to keep that MySpace stuff away from my parents, but MySpace didn't exist when I was in junior high and high school and, even if it had, I wouldn't have been a member.



Yeah, I heard about that. It seems he's still in denial.

I wasn't sheltered or kept from certain media at all, but things like drugs and alcohol I tended to hide pretty well (Stupid kids!)

I never brought them home, but I'd come home after drinking and my mom would have not have any clue.

Parents are not aware of everything. And what the girl was doing wasn't as hard of a thing to hide as what a lot of other kids were doing.

It's about as easy as hiding your porn collection when you're 15.

implore all of you that are expressing an opinion on this to go back and read the original story and thread here:
Girl kills herself after getting dumped online

This 'mother' took pleasure with her daughter in torturing a child that had mental instability that she knew about. I am overjoyed that she got 20 years! Read about how the dead child's parents did the best they could. ALL of you young'uns that are kidless currently need to walk a mile in a parent's shoes. Kids are their own people and not robots that you can control. All you can hope to do is guide them along a path of learning that will leave them with the ability to be self-sufficient and happy. That is the ultimate goal. Sometimes you aren't dealt a perfect little honor student in life, and all you can do is try your best. In this case, even that wasn't enough. If they had known that a neighbor was perpetrating this hoax on their daughter, there would have been some hope of saving her. This stupid ignorant bitch that tortured a child with mental instability is absolutely culpable, and got off easy IMO.

If that's a reference to me, I'd like to know exactly what 'my route' entails.

The punch to the face law is probably the best solution that I've seen so far, but I'd also add provisions for slapping with large fish, slabs of meat, and possibly hammers.
