Agreed. The parents are saying, "We couldn't have had anything to do with this! It was this EEEEEVIL online group! They MAAAADE her kill herself!"
Which is complete bull. Nobody ever makes anybody do anything. People are motivated by vastly deeper stuff than we'll usually ever understand. ALL we can do, in the aftermath of a tragedy like this, is look to find our own personal responsibility in the matter, as a means to completing it for ourselves. That's pretty simple, but it's hard to do when emotions are on the line. The natural, emotional response is just what these parents are doing: look for whose fault it is.
