Isn't there an old SCOTUS majority opinion in a ruling about Freedom of Speech: that Freedom does not extend to shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater. I don't think Freedom of Speech extends to telling a 13 year old to kill herself after luring her into believing that you were someone who cared about her. But since there are no supportable criminal laws governing this situation, the recourse of the girl's parents seems to be civil law, perhaps "wrongful death" or "endangerment," because Lori Drew certainly knew she was harming Megan Meir, she just had no idea how much harm she was doing.
