Yeah they can. Not everyone has the mental fortitude to withstand emotional abuse. Someone
can be driven to suicide and just because they died at their own hand doesn't mean there weren't contributing factors.
And remember this was a 12 year old CHILD who not only didn't have the maturity or impulse control to know to turn off and ignore the cyber bullying but also lacked the emotional capacity to handle what was being thrown at her. Especially when it's being dished out by someone you believed to be your friend.
If this was peer bullying I wouldn't hold the other person as accountable because they would have been close to the same maturity level. Since this was done by an adult who knows better, who has children of that same age, there should be accountability. Even if she didn't drive the poor girl to suicide there should be repercussions for her cruel actions.
