But they
were monitoring it. They knew about her account, they knew that she was talking to "Josh", they had talked about it. It was only near the very end that things changed so drastically and far too quickly for her to deal with it. What these people did was not dissimilar to a pedophile grooming a target. She was lured in and made to feel safe. Everything this "boy" said was what she wanted to hear. That made the betrayal all the more devastating. In an emotionally healthy teenager this would have been hard enough to bear but for Megan it just pushed her over the edge.
I don't have a problem with all of the blame being placed on the Drew family. They did this with malice.
