The normal rules mean squat on the Web by Christie Blatchford.
She's talking about this murder, background here.
Gruesome sad stuff indeed, but bizarre that Ms. Blatchford seems to think that internet enabled chat and Facebook are to blame?
ie:
M.T. and D.B. communicated compulsively - on MSN and Facebook, on cellphone and by text message.
Among the evidence introduced at the girl's trial were cell records showing the pair called or 'texted' one another more than 5,000 times in the four months before Stefanie's death, and Toronto Police recovered an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 MSN and Facebook posts between them from four computers the pair used.
Staggering as those numbers are, they don't begin to capture the frantic nature of the couple's communication - constantly accusing one another of cheating, he professing his love in the most florid language, she functioning as a self-appointed probation officer grilling him on his whereabouts - or the astonishing level of minutiae to which it descended
Yeah, 'cause like married adults who live in the same house don't speak to each other over 5000 times in 4 months. These are teenagers (murdering ones sure), but like any other kids they *don't have the same freedom of movement as you or I*. Take two kids who are unhealthily hung-up on each other, throw in some communication devices and an 11:00pm curfew, who isn't going to get a bit salacious over the wires. And since when was grammar indicative of psychotic tendencies?
