Yes, she was on medication AND THE NEIGHBOR KNEW. Yet another reason the behavior was inexcusable. She knew exactly what she was messing with, and didn't care.
The parents separated after Megan's death, so as far as I know that wasn't a factor. But even without that in play, she was extremely vulnerable--more so than a typical 13-year-old.[ Reply to This | Parent ]

I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with this "she didn't stand a chance" comment. Sure her parents were going through a tough time and yes she was on medication.
But saying "she didn't stand a chance" sounds like you're writing her off. LOTS of kids are in the same situation, and they all deserve better than what this young woman got. It isn't a white picket-fence, Ozzie and Harriet world out there and, as a society, we need to value real kids in the real world. Not dismiss them just because they're not all shiny & happy...[ Reply to This | Parent ]
