[LM_NET] Another Cyberbullying Suicide

[Art Wolinsky <awolinsky@OII.ORG>]

It happened about a year ago, but is just coming to light now.  A 13 
year old girl who was bullied at school struck up an online MySpace 
relationship with a 13 year old boy that went sour and turned to 
bullying. She committed suicide.  It turns out that the 13 year old 
boy who taunted her was actually the mother of another 13 year old 
girl in the neighborhood.  Anderson Cooper did a segment on it that I 
think should be seen far and wide.  I've linked to the segment and 
wrote more about it in my blog http://www.3dwriting.com/wiredsafety/blog

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.
I will surely learn a great deal today.
