Teen pressures boyfriend into suicide.

The fact that she tried to get some acclaim after his death as an advocate to save lives and prevent suicide is absolutely disgusting. Legally, I think this is an interesting issue because it could also serve as precedent for charging bullies with manslaughter or the like if their victims commit suicide.
She ought to just say that Tom Brady told her to destroy the cell phone.
On a more serious note (as there really is NOTHING funny about this at all), I'm torn. Her very texts sound almost like a goading but then you get into the fact that 17-year olds are, well, stupid anyway. But she goaded a person she knew had tried this before into death. And now she soothes her guilt by trying to stop it.
I really won't be surprised if this doesn't end with her taking her own life the same way, and as angry as the texts I read make me, I don't want that, either.

I agree.
I think there is a difference between bullies causing someone to commit suicide and what she has done.
Her constant prodding is disturbing. Setting herself up to be a spokesperson is disgusting.
Agreed. With what this girl did, she might as well had shot him herself.
I don't like bullying at all, but this was far worse IMO. This was sadistic on another level.
This is pure evil and the fact that she tried to be a voice for suicide prevention afterwards is a clear sign of some mental issue--narcissism, psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies. It's almost like a hybrid Muncheusan Syndrome. I can't get over how her parents are completely blind to the fact that their daughter is a monster.
I'm saddened by the fact I'm not in the least surprised, shocked or dismayed by this story. I guess I see and hear about how atrociously humans treat one another repeatedly throughout my work day, so when something like this is in the headlines it's just another day.
Humans are NOT inherently good. We are, at our core, capable of being despicable monsters.
Thankfully, there are (for now) enough of us trying every day to be good, moral and just in our actions to balance out the badness. But some days I can almost feel the scale tilt globally in the wrong direction.

We are the 'Naked Ape'. What separates us from a band of marauding chimpanzees is our civilization/society/culture/family. You can see the result when you look at impoverished areas which lack that and the resulting murder/crime rates.I'm saddened by the fact I'm not in the least surprised, shocked or dismayed by this story.

There is a lot of troubling stuff in this case, and one that hasn't been talked about is the fact that her attorney is trying to use the first amendment as justification for what I would consider murder. This is a murder disguised as a suicide as evidence that she was trying to cover up her part in this case. Guardian Angel? More like the Angel of Death and she be treated as an adult.
