No Felony For Lori Drew |

I would LOVE to be able to say "Well, Al Capone got sent to prison for a nice long time for tax evasion, but the average tax evader just pays a fine. But that's cool because everybody knew what we were really sending Al Capone to prison for, we just couldn't prove it."
The problem is that I can't even type out that logic without physically recoiling. Because there are just too many crazy prosecutors in this world.
A government of laws and not of men, kids. That's the way it has to be.

If I were a judge, part of the sentence I'd impose is to make both women do community service hours on a suicide hotline.

I am fine with this. As sick as this woman is, I think this punishment sounds reasonable. I don't want internet harassment to become a felony charge and grouped in with murder and rape, no matter 5the result of the harassment. The woman will spend 3 years in jail and probably a decacde paying off this money, in addition to being forever known as a twisted individual in whatever community she later moves into. That is pretty terrible already.

The sad thing is most of these 'adults' don't really have many friends their own age. Since I live in a small town this is REALLY easy to spot. They live their entire social lives through their children and their children's friends. These people are more influenced by their children than their children are influenced by them.
A situation like this could never, ever turn out well on any level.

I could offer a Lori Drew special and start sending those suckers out.

That said, this is pretty crappy news.

The name "Waterford Crystal Lane" alone gives me the icks. You know the next street over is "Gucci Purse Place."

But I wouldn't want to live the rest of her life.

Not that cash could ever ease that kind of pain for a parent.
