Yes the parents who wrote the messages are scum and mean but there is nothing illegal in that.

I am surprised that the parents, who knew their daughter was emotionally unstable would let her online unsupervised. They would never let her hang out at a bar unsupervised but they let her troll the net without a second thought? Any emotionally stable (relative term) teen would have fired back or ignored threatening language. The other party could not know that being mean would lead to a death.
