I have a couple of opinions on this which shouldn't hopefully start a debate:
The woman who did this deserves the harshest punishment, simply because she did something that she had to have known would be severely harmful to the girl. Even I know how angst-ridden and easily depressed 13-year-old girls are, and I have a penis (please, don't debate this).
The girl, as Shauk noted, was not very bright and suicide is in fact dumb. However, she was a 13-year-old, so stupidity just comes with the territory and is therefore a moot point.
The parents of the girl needed to be more strict. Once a child is--arguably--15-years-old, the can start having some Internet freedom, but should still have an eye kept on and (especially in the case of a girl or a fat, emo guy) the parents should do so until about 17, when they should be intelligent enough (partly thanks to the parents, I would hope) to discern what's tragic and what is complete bullshit. The hormones are raging, sure, but the world is a lot less cloudy.
Also, I think this whole thing is tragic, for the record, and my heart (or what's left of it) go out to the parents and the (I'm guessing here) friends of the girl. I hope the woman is punished to the fullest extent of the law, and possibly raped in prison by a broom handle or however butch prisoners do it.
