Appropriately enough, I'm from Missouri on this bill

Here's the latest on the case of the adults harassing a 13-year old who then commits suicide. A bill has been introduced in the Senate that would make such harrasment a felony. As I said back in November:

If a law could be passed that would prevent anything like this from ever happening again, my heart tells me that would be a good law.

But even the 13-year old girl's mother doesn't think this law would do that...only that it would provide punishment. She has to go somewhere with her anger and her grief, and I won't say anything against her.

But me...I'm from Missouri.
