I agree that the laws being used to prosecute Lori Drew are at best a stretch, but I think that demonstrates the desperation at being caught flatfooted without a means of punishing this woman. Maybe I am being melodramatic, but a “public shunning” is completely insufficient for what occured. The hard facts are that if it were not for the actions of this adult woman, Megan would most likely be alive today. I do not like the way she is being targeted, but I wrestle with the feeling that she must pay for her actions. Intentional infliction of emotional distress is a civil matter, but has it ever been tied to a death? I don’t think there is any good way out of this, but my gut wants that woman to pay. Unfair maybe, but honest.
