Another teen in trouble for MySpace and criticisms of school administrators:
Justin Layshock is a senior at Hickory High School in the Hermitage School District, in Pennsylvania.
On December 10, 2005, using his grandmother's computer, Layshock created a parodic MySpace profile purporting to be that of his principal. The profile "often poked fun at Trosch's apparent heft by using the word "big" before phrases." Another question on the profile asked, "What did you do on your last birthday?". Layshock had the site read: "too drunk to remember."
Layshock included a photograph of Mr. Trosch, from the school's Web site.
On December 13, 2005, Layshock tried to take the site down, but it had already been removed, evidently by MySpace management.
