Its sad that there is no specific law for what Lori Drew has done. Bottom line is, she was the cause for this 13 year old girl's suicide. It would be hard to argue this case for the fact that my knowledge of the law is limited, but the obvious is there. The girl was, first of all, had issues with self-esteem and was not mentally stable. The account of "Josh Evans" was false, created by an "adult", and was used to play with the mind of a 13 year old girl. I do not see how this is any different from an internet predator. Like an internet predator, she claimed to be someone she's not, influenced a minor and caused harm to her, mentally and physically. Although it wasn't direct, she was still the cause of it. It's ridiculous that a crime as clear as this does not have a section in the law. I can't believe that this lead to Lori Drew being convicted of only a misdemeanor when a life was taken due to her actions. It seems that all we have to do nowadays to get away with a crime is to find a loop hope in the system, which doesn't see so hard. If we commit murder or any type of crime, as long as we abide by the words of the law, we can get away with anything. This is just another example that shows that there needs to be alot of improvements made in the government.
