Conspiracy to commit manslaughter. imo that should be what everyone involved in creating "Josh" should be charged.
They may not have killed her directly, but playing with a teenage girl's emotions is about as forced as one can get indirectly.

This is a case also where MySpace is to blame, they're a popular and powerful internet site, they could EASILY have traced that woman's IP address and learned that nobody even coming close to that description lives there and banned her, but they didn't.

Considering how many people signup for myspace everyday, and the complete inability for Myspace to legally found out the ages of people residing at the address the IP is bound to, I don't see how they could have possibly been to blame.
It's a medium of communication.
I agree that parents need to get more involved, but you can't control every little thing your child does if they ever are to grow and evolve their own social interactions.
We can point the fingers at the parents, myspace, etc...
Only one real person can be blamed. The next door neighbor's mom that led the poor girl on an emotional spiral.
The ones who helped her create "Josh" are culpable as accomplices.
