What if it's not a drunk driver.. If I just crash into the back of someone and they develop further complications, do I get done for manslaughter?

If the person would still be alive if you hadn't crashed into them, then IMHO yes, you are guilty of veichular manslaughter, as the person died as a result of complications which developed from injuries received when you ran into the back of them.

also have facebook left itself open to be sued by her parents for allowing a nude underage photo of their daughter on it's site

There was a story about a guy from the North last year who was trying to sue Facebook because pictures of his naked 12 year old daughter were uploaded. A thread was posted here about it and practically everyone sided with Facebook on the matter. They blamed shoddy and lazy parenting instead.

I wonder if they'd have the same views on this story. Surely with proper parenting the girl would have never been in a situation where she posted naked pictures of herself online.

Actually, that thread was posted by the same OP as this one... - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056380846

God just seen the story and watched the video i welled up very sad, I'm a bit confused and now i'm no expert but with parents knowing would it not have been better to stay and confront the problems instead of running away from them?? Rip and shame on the prick that blackmailed her.

Sad fact of the matter is we have a generation of keyboard warriors that think its perfectly fine to abuse people through social media! Without a thought for that persons state of mind at that time. Before social media if we had a row we someone we had to stew all day and think about it, decide what we were going to say.

now those things are posted in anger without thought with the sole intention of hurt. It's just too easy to abuse people.being around young people who just don't care how much they hurt each other is heartbreaking. A generation with no fear of consequences for their actions. Generation that doesn't understand that once something is posted in the Internet it's there FOREVER! Sad really

One thing i don't get is,why the **** didn't anybody track the bastard down.If it was my daughter and this chap was after adding her on facebook i'd be straight onto the police,after all she is underage.Or if i had a way of gathering more information i'd be after smashing his door down and killing the bastard.

Per the comments on the Huffington Post they have tracked him down (the hacktivist group Anonymous) and have posted all his details on the net. However, I'd be dubious given the source of this information the problem being, to use their name, it is anonymous and in the same vain of keyboard warriors. But if genuine, hopefully they have passed all this information and proof to the Cops.

Looks like Anonymous has: http://pastebin.com/6W8Ssw3k

Or simply Google" Amanda Todd Anonymous" CBC News says that they posted everything on the pedo - he's a 30 year old in New West - yikes

Social Networking and its downfalls should be part of every Civics class (is there are still such things) in secondary schools and possibly the art of how to ignore or develop a thick skin to anonymous posts. It baffles me in this case how no one stood up for this girl. She made a stupid mistake that kids do and yet was ridiculed by her own family and so called friends.

Sometimes I struggle to come to terms with how people and the world are. I'm truly sickened by what happened to this girl. I've a young daughter myself and the thoughts of this type of thing happening sends shivers down my back.

As already mentioned on this topic, kids / humans can be sick beings at the best of time. The way society is going these days, for me its disgusting. I can only imagine how that poor girl felt. She made a mistake, she wanted to be liked, sure who doesn't? For the fact this other kid kept harassing her, setting up Facebook pages and tormenting her, well I would love to have 5 minutes alone with this kind of sadistic prick, it would be fun.

It's a scarey world out there for the young folk growing up. It's a waste of a life, however, she is at peace now. I hope who ever contributed to the harassment and bullying gets what is coming to them.

Sick world we live in which I can hardly relate to at all any more, I just don't understand the human condition and the way the world is. Very sad indeed.

I watched her Youtube video - one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

Yes, she made mistakes, one of which happened when she was 12. 12! Everyone does stupid things at that age (hers may have been stupider than most, but she was young and naive). Imagine being followed for years after that. What that guy did was stalking. Not just bullying or trolling - stalking. He tracked her down, tracked down her friends and family.

And her second mistake - no matter who she "hooked up with", she didn't deserve to be beaten up and to have taunts made about her suicide attempt. Who DOES that?! Who hears about someone trying to kill themselves and thinks "Great, I'll send them pictures of pills/bleach/knives/etc."?!

Poor girl. She was clearly vulnerable, but I imagine not many young girls could have coped with what she had to deal with. The internet is a dangerous thing for naive teenagers, and even more dangerous when unhinged people like that stalker get their hands on it. They should teach online safety in schools and to parents - it's SO important and cases like these only highlight that.

There are some seriously sick people in this world.

RIP.

I would also like to add (not for shock value) but from the ages 8 to 12, we where still playing Doc and Nurses (It was between a very small group of us equal in age, between 1 or 2 age difference eg girls 10 boys 12, you show me yours I will show mine, no one touched, it just seemed very natural to to do) That was back in the 1980's (my point and it fails, we did experiment as kids)

Sure if any of the guys mentioned it they would have being beatten up by the girls. And equally bad for the girls who mentioned it would have being blanked by the guys

that was 1980's, those kids could program a computer, everyone of them to sing for them, we knew more than the programming Dads, who design programs did.

And then what we have now, we our so terrified that our kids will miss out on "LIFE" in cyberspace that we let them miss out on real life right here and now.

I would hate to be a teenager growing up in this international voyeurism, I had enough problems growing up with 20 people kicking the crap out of me

I feel for Amanda Todd, and you know what I believe most people do, I took a look at the evidence online, as far as I'm concerned their is one guy to blame (but he is protected by the internet), on every other grounds the internet is to blame for the death of a child of 16, who made a mistake at the age of 12, she messed up at 12, and that ruined her life for four years, until she died at 16 ( say that aloud in side your head ) the internet killed her, it's hugeness, it's availability to be anonymous, it's availability to pretend to be someone else.

It so easy to do, most of the people on this thread are doing it ( in small amounts) (pretending and most of us are Adults)

I don't know how to change it Amanda, I am so sorry, they didn't even break your heart they shattered it in to such small piece, that your life will actually count, it will reach us and make us stronger and better. Be Safe angel X

Why?

Because you blame a child for being a child and claim it's something to be ashamed of.

Worst still, you also disingenuously blame the child for producing & distributing "child pornography", which considering the circumstances, is despicable.

...but you know all this, your post was designed to invoke a reaction. :rolleyes:
