I don't know (5.00 / 5) (#7)

Maybe this is a stretch in the eyes of the law, but as far as I'm concerned, there's a special place in He** waiting for this woman.  A grown woman plotting and using a computer (on more than one occasion)to emotionally hurt a little girl who had a fight with her daughter?  This is just despicable and she needs needs to be punished somehow.

SOME kind of law should cover this (5.00 / 3) (#17)

'Despicable' doesn't even cover such a sick SERIES of acts by an adult to smash the emotional center of a child.

 I have felt this way since I read about it.  The Internet's easy way with 'anonymous' attacks needs something to deter adults at least from engaging in this kind of thing against children.

not every bad thing is a crime (5.00 / 1) (#40)

If the woman did what she is accused of--and she denies it--then she certainly acted immorally and with cruelty.  But, not every immoral, cruel, even detestable thing people do--even something that might earn them a special place in hell--is or should be a crime.  

This indictment is ridiculous.  By the standard of this indictment, anyone who posts harassing things on this blog could be federally prosecuted.  That's nonsense.
