Once there was this news about a mom who posted on Myspace an account of a teenage boy and led a young teenage girl to believe that the phony teenage boy hated her and so she committed suicide. It may sound shocking but real and you may think something like that could have alerted everyone not to post phony accounts online but here comes another case, that of a 40 year old woman named Elizabeth Thrasher.
Now, the case for Elizabeth Thrasher is filed as she violated the cyberbullying laws of Missouri. She had posted on Craigslist about a young 17 year old girl and included some of her pictures, cellular phone number and email address claiming that she wants to look for a male partner to have some girl-boy fun with. Of course, the girl had received numerous responses which came as a shock to her and she then alerted the cops regarding the post.
Cops were able to track down the poster and it was Elizabeth Thrasher. Elizabeth went to jail but was released after paying $10,000 worth of bond but her case is still pending for a trial and while still waiting for her case, she is banned from using a computer or the internet.
As it turns out, Elizabeth Thrasher is related to the young girl because the teenage girl is actually the daughter of Elizabeth’s ex-husband’s new beau. So it is actually quite obvious what Thrasher’s motive for her actions is. She will be facing a sentence to 4 years in state prison or a year in a county jail or to pay $5,000 fine if ever she is to be found guilty. The cyberbullying law was designed to protect girls and boys under the age of 18 from online attacks of people over the age of 21.
