The world is not simple or black and white as some people see it. Yes, she is responsible in part and there should be consequences. If not, lots of sociopaths could be sparked to get people to kill them selves by preying on the mentally ill with bully tactics. This sounds like it should be considered a cyber crime. Think of it this way....if a person goes out for a fun night of drinking and decides to get behind the wheel of a car while drinking and kills someone, are they responsible? Most would say yes, even though they had no real intention of harming a person at all. This lady knowingly intended to harm a person. It was her intent and she succeeded.....he probably wouldn't have done it without all her coaxing and so yes, she should be made to pay a price for her actions. If I were the judge I'd give her probation and required weekly therapy and community service. I don't think jailing her is a good idea but making sure she understands her words have consequences will make her think twice before abusing another person. Abusing vulnerable people is a crime and that is clearly what she did.
