Since my last post I have overheard or participated in numerous conversations about the unfortunate circumstances regarding the death of young Megan Meier. Meier who committed suicide in her suburban Missouri bedroom has her parents still looking for answers one year later.As we approach the year 2008 it may not come as a surprise to many that what Meier's mother and father have discovered is that the social networking website MySpace may be partially to blame.
As this story continues to make headlines worldwide, US News reports that Meier's hometown of Dardenne Prairie is taking big local steps to put a stop to cyberbullying and online harassment.
A Missouri town has passed a law to prevent cyberbulling in response to last year's suicide of 13-year-old school girl Megan Meier after receiving intentionally hurtful messages on MySpace.
The new law passed for Megan is prompting more state and federal laws to stop cyberbullying and online harassment.
