Lori Drew’s Daughter

Posted on December 7, 2007 in Compassion Scoundrels

REVISED.

Note: There is now question whether Lori Drew wrote the Megan Had It Coming blog. Word is that her attorney is mounting action. Check out the Jonathan Turling blog link below and this. The question now is Will the Meiers file a wrongful death suit?

Police patrols in Mother Predator’s neighborhood have increased: evidentally law enforcement does not want to find itself in the position of prosecuting someone with whom it is in sympathy. (Ambrose Bierce once said that there are five degrees of homicide: first degree, second degree, manslaughter, justifiable, and praiseworthy.) I do not condone killing Lori Drew — let her live with the shame for the rest of her life. Let others remind her at every turn of what she has done. Let her know that she is a pariah. And unlike Drew herself — who plotted with teenagers to create a fiction — let the human faces who reject her be visible as they turn away. Leave her no doubt that real people condemn her. It’s a very Amish approach.)

One thing that commentators don’t speak much about is what to do about her daughter who is undoubtably coming under fire for her mother’s deed. The girl first came under attack by a young girl who was mentally distressed. Even knowing this can doesn’t make it hurt any less. Now her mother is the villain of the year the girl has become an outcast for things she did not do.

Unfortunately, there is no way to save her. Calling in social services isn’t legal at this point unless Lori Drew has been secretly molesting her. For the rest of her life, this poor girl may be programmed to think herself as evil because of her mother. I see a lot of therapy in her future.

If there is a way to counsel/comfort her without letting her mother off the hook, I am all for it.

Some noteworthy articles about Lori Drew that have appeared in the last few days:

• Karoli shows no mercy towards who she calls “the witch-victim“. She talks about how an outsider destroyed her own family.
• Zephonia blames the affair on the contemporary parenting “absolute belief that you’re child is the best child ever” [sic].
• jasonunger numbers the ways in which Lori Drew is being made to pay for the seduction-suicide of Megan Meier.
• And here’s another Lori Drew.
• Attorney Jonathan Turley states: “While there is ample reason for anger, these individuals appear to be using the very same abusive means to mete out their own brand of justice. It shows how the absence of legal recourse can trigger vigilantism.”
