Mom in MySpace Case Expects Civil Litigation

The Smoking Gun has posted a number of new documents in the tragic case of Megan Meier, who committed suicide in 2006 after being rejected by a friend she met via MySpace — a friend who, it turns out, was actually the mother of a former friend pretending to be a young boy.  On the last page, the mother (one Lori Drews) reports that she’s anticipating civil litigation to be instigated by the girl’s parents, which raises various issues of duty and legal cause, among other things (for any negligence claims).
