MySpace, Mom's Space
Posted Thursday, December 04, 2008 8:58 AM | By
Emily Bazelon
I've been chewing over the conviction of Lori Drew in the MySpace suicide case, with super-blogger law professor Ann Althouse
here
, and
here
in
Slate
.
Torie
pointed out last week that Drew should have stayed out of the teenage realm of MySpace. I agree, but I'm also left feeling like cyberbullying is a problem that parents, not the government, have to chip away at. I realize, though, that there's a harsh edge to that. It's not as if telling parents to look after their teenagers is a panacea (or hasn't been said many times before). I wonder if any of you wiser moms have thoughts?
