Interesting that the argument being put forth seems to be that these young ladies are not responsible at least in part for this young lady's decision to end her life because she could have "easily" avoided all those hateful comments on the internet had she chosen not to read them but her bull(ies) on the other hand will be forever tainted, adversely affected by negative comments about their actions from adults via the comments on pages that discuss this case when THOSE comments are not directed AT the bullies, but their friends will surely point them to. SO if the girls who engaged in bullying behavior towards Rebecca kill themselves those commentors will be responsible for their deaths.
???
It is amazing how far people will go in order to justify abuse of children.
I have never made any such argument that you insinuate I made.
When the young Phoebe Prince set up a "Paki *advertiser censored*" page filled with abuse, her victim indeed had no escape. She had no power to delete the abuse or to prevent others from reading it.
If someone had placed the picture of Rebecca on a forum along with pictures of mass killers and other monsters and started a "discussion" about how she is just like them both on the outside and the inside, then again Rebecca would have no escape from such extremely callous abuse.
When someone sends you a mean message on Facebook then yes you have the power to delete and block the user.
It is a simple fact that makes travesty of the frequent assertion that Rebecca killed herself BECAUSE had no escape from such messages. That is just factually false.
On the other hand, Rebecca truly had NO escape from the parents she said she feared and the abuse and beatings she complained about -- any pretense this is no worse than getting a mean message on Facebook is preposterous.
My point was to contrast the false arguments with the actual realities of Rebecca's life.
And again, there is NO evidence anything Katelyn ever did had ANYTHING to do with Rebecca's suicide.
In fact there is NO evidence her death had anything to do with bullying at all.
NONE.
ZERO.
And again there is NO evidence Katelyn sent any of those messages constantly repeated as supposedly having driven Rebecca to suicide.
Interesting though how the callous abuse here is concentrated on the youngest child and nothing even close to it on the parents who, according to the sheriff himself, were partly responsible for Rebecca's death -- you know the parents Rebecca said she fears and who say she never ever told them about being suicidal, despite evidence she was suicidal long before any alleged bullying took place.
But hey, child abusers will ALWAYS find excuses. They are driven by a need to inflict harm on a defenseless child and there is probably no cure for them.
