Is MySpace responsible?
Ethical Use of Information, MySpace, Social Networking November 18, 2007
Recently a 13 year-old girl committed suicide by hanging herself after a so-called MySpace friend said he did not want to be her friend anymore after he heard she was mean to her friends. But it turns out the boy who was her “so-called” myspace friend was in actuality a made up character that another neighborhood Mom created.
WHi is responsible? the mother? MySpace? the mother of the 13 yo who knowlingly allowed her daughter to have a MySpace page even though she was aware kids are supposed to be 14? Hmmm, I’m definitely watching this one in the news.
