Hello Ladybug,
In response to your blog entry that sites the “recent arrest” of Joshua Stetar, I’d like to bring to your attention that the same young man has once again been arrested for stalking the SAME girl and her family. Here is a link that might help you. http://www.khq.com/Global/story.asp?S=7557736&nav=menu438_1

I guess you’ll have to type the address into your address bar. On that page is also a link to Stetar’s MySpace Web page.

I’m so angry that our Federal Government hasn’t made this a priority!!!

Thank you for your time, and I do hope you have a great day!

Beth

I can only imagine badscreennames being a benifit to many and may prevent more tragic events expierienced by the Meiers until the laws can catch up to the internet!. I want to say this is suburban madness at its absolute lowest when your neighbor is a psychotic mother. How can a human being reach such a low. The police report stated in the months leading up Meier’s daughter’s suicide, she (psychotic mother living across the street) instigated and monitored a ‘my space’ account which was created for the sole purpose of communicating with Meier’s daughter. (She) stated she, her daughter and (the temporary employee) all typed, read and monitored the communication between the fake male profile and Megan.

It turns out the psychotic mother owns a business, and the temp employee was an employee of hers. A woman created a fraudulent account to communicate with the 13 year old daughter of her neighbors in order to cause her maximum pain and distress. the woman in question had intimate knowledge of Megan’s character, her insecurities, her desire to be loved, her problems with depression and her history of being bullied at school. The fraud only came to an end when the woman instigator saw Megan being taken away by ambulance once she hung herself after the last message flickered across her screen. This is what an adult said to a child, under the guise of a cute boy;

“The world would be a better place without you.” The FBI and local police say there isn’t enough evidence to prove a crime was committed. What goes around comes around and those involved in this lowest form of human behavior will not avoid judgement day!
