I don't personally use MySpace, but this is the official form to report abuses: http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=misc.contactInput&primarySubject=2&secondarySubject=13 according to their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/Modules/Help/Pages/HelpCenter.aspx?Category=3&Question=6" rel="nofollow">FAQs</a>. From what I hear though, MySpace is not especially quick to act, so you may want to report it again if you don't hear back in a few days. MySpace should take down the page as a violation of their terms. This is much easier to say than do, but in the meantime, please try to ignore it. Don't try to contact people running the hate site. Talk to your parents or a counselor if the issue continues to bother you. If your real-life safety feels threatened, contact your local authorities right away.

I'd like to know if there's something I can do. It's really starting to bother me, and I have no idea who is keeping it up. I don't know how to notify myspace about it, and I don't know where to turn. My mom tried to message Tom, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't work...if you have ANY advice, please let me know.
