She didn't kill anyone. For the 100th time, THE GIRL COMMITTED SUICIDE! You do understand what that word means, right?
The woman was told by several people that the girl was suicidal. She intentionally conspired over a period of time and several messages to drive her to suicide.

Intentionally manipulating someone who is not of sound mind is the same as if you gave them poison. Your argument is like saying "I didn't kill them, the poison did"

Let's say this was a wife with a husband in Iraq. She is known to be depressed and suicidal. You call her up an tell her you're from the US Army and are sorry to inform her of her husband's death. This is just a harmless prank and anything she does is her own fault??

Why draw the line here? If a disturbed adolescent is expected to fight off mental abuse by a vicious adult then why is anyone entitled to protection from physical abuse? We can all take care of ourselves, right? and if you're not strong enough to fight off somebody, well, whose fault is that?
