LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — A Missouri mother was indicted Thursday in the case of a teen who killed herself after being taunted on the social networking site MySpace.com.
A federal indictment accuses Lori Drew, 49, of O’Fallon, Missouri, of using a MySpace account to pose as a 16-year-old boy and feign romantic interest in the girl.
