Someone claiming to be Lori Drew posts on her actions, reasoning.
Clearly a hoax, but the poster knows a lot about the story.

Dan: The very last comment lists a name and address that it claims is the real person who put up that blog. Do we really want to get in the middle of that?
I can sum that long blog post up in one sort sentence:
Once this girl was gossiping about me, so I started gossiping about her to get even.
Romans 1:28 “Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
1:29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
1:30 Slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;
1:31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
1:32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these things but also approve of those who practice them.â€Â
Um, scratch that. It looks like someone is flaming that name. Perhaps bailing from this whole thing is the answer.
short sentence. PTL typos aren’t a sin.
So is the point that Lori Drew has supporters that would like to justify her actions?
Real or not.. Doesnt matter.. The fact that people can try to spin Drew’s involvement to make it sounds like she’s less than the proximate cause of Megan’s death disgusts me..
So Megan could be a manipulative jerk.. She was a teenage girl..
So she and the daughter fought and tossed insults back and forth.. Newsflash: Teens treat each other like crap all the time.. and they’re very cruel and thoughtless in how they go about it..
The point isn’t that the teens on MySpace bully each other and gossip.. The point is that the mother, an adult, who should have been teaching, encouraging and acting as a model of responsible behaviour (i.e. being a decent parent) instead brought her adult deviousness into play and directed a psychological attack on a mentally disturbed teenage girl.. and aimed it right at the spot that she knew the insecure girl would be most vulnerable at… her relationship with young males..
Her daughter may not have realized the danger and cruelty in what she did.. The other kids on MySpace couldnt have known Megan’s full history and condition.. but Lori knew and just didnt care.
If there IS an upside in this case it’s that Megan didnt pick up a gun and take it out on her school like some others have… At least Lori doesnt have those deaths to answer for..
Maybe a hoax, but it seems more plausibhle than what the drive-bys are saying.
There has got to be way more to this story than the tidy little bundle that we are seeing in the media. The way it is being presented is just too simple for any real world sitution.
I don’t have a clue what really happened, but I am convinced that the media is, as usual, full of self righteous bullshit. You can’t fly in, strafe a town, and come away with any understanding of what is really happening in that town.
I would, honestly, expect no less from the Drew’s version of the story. People rarely do evil, with the knowledge that it is evil. There are always “reasons” for their actions.
Regardless, whether Megan a problem (she probably was) – you don’t gossip to “cure” a gossip. You step away from the situation.
I think the hoaxter was parodying the intellect of the Drew woman.
This whole thing is disgusting.
That we, as a society, have lost our collective sense of shame, is sad. I know that many still have the healthy senses of shame, but the loss of it by the overall collective is a sign of decay, and not a good one.
I feel all dirty, but I was curious. This is supposedly from Drew – all we know is that it is from the author of the blog:
she’s an idiot, or it’s a parody. I don’t know which.
Exactly… Idiocy or parody.. Kinda like stumbling on a story out of The Onion that sounds about as real as the crap you find on CNN or FOX..
I’m calling hoax too. There’s no way anyone could be this lacking in self awareness:
If that really is Lori Drew, I almost feel sorry for her lawyer.
Well, having known people who do evil things – totally unaware of their actions- I would say it is plausible for someone to be so lacking in self-awareness. Matter of fact – it takes such a personality to have created this entire scenario.
I was just about to follow up that, if as seems to be the case it isn’t Lori Drew posting that stuff, the author is probably about to find out what that teacher’s union guy in … was it Wisconsin? … found out about internet anonymity.
If that’s the case, then I feel sorry for Mr. Drew, whose life must be a living hell.
Mr. Drew may be just like Mrs. Drew. Birds of a feather and all.
Just because she didn’t break a law, doesn’t mean she didn’t break a rule. You know, one of them golden ones? “Treat others as you would like to be treated” ring any bells?
It may not be against the law to drive a child to suicide, but it sure is against the rules of polite society.
Parody or not, satire or not, what was done is disgusting.
I for one was offended that the things the blog’s author says Lori Drew did, are portrayed as something any reasonable parent would have done. As a reasonable person, I resent that.
“Oh and don’t bother trying to figure out who I am. Unlike Megan, I DO have a boyfriend and he knows computers and he totally covered my tracks.”
That’s last line on this blog. Don’t know if it’s true. It would be interesting to find out who is this sick. There was an 18 year old employee of Lori Drew who was involved in this mess too. This reads a lot more like something written by an 18 year old than a 13 year old.
This is significant. I wonder, based on some of the responses, if this Lori is a spoof or not. But bottom line: The internet can trash an actual person instantaneously. How do we translate this truth to our children?
I for one, at that age, wouldn’t know how to deal with the immediacy of the ugly these days. In my day at least it percolated through whispers that could be debated locally. A playground fight usually took care of the whole thing.
Even in my day I don’t think I would have gotten through those years not being a guy. “Knuckles, face, some assembly required” makes for a much simpler world.
And thank God for that because us guys need the world to be simpler.
“A playground fight usually took care of the whole thing.”
““Knuckles, face, some assembly required†makes for a much simpler world.”
Exactly. And nobody bothered to kick anybody out of school over it.
McGhee, you were a boy, and I was a girl. We each had our own individual battles to contend with. I recall that dragging my parents into it was dishonorable, unless there was a serious breach.
