ST. LOUIS - An Illinois woman is suing the St. Louis Cardinals for allowing a text message that falsely suggested her daughter has a sexually transmitted disease to be posted on the ballpark's message board during a game ... According to the lawsuit, the teenager was with her classmates at Busch for a game against the Kansas City Royals on May 19, 2006, when a girl schoolmate called the ballpark's message board and, using the daughter's name, texted, "(A.B.) has an STD! Eww!" ... The teenager, humiliated and shamed by subsequent taunting from her schoolmates, stayed out of school the rest of the school year, took her exams privately, saw boys she once considered friends no longer associate with her, and became overly self-conscious, according to the lawsuit.

Sometimes things happen that make me want to get into people's heads and find out what they were thinking. Whoever the Cardinals employee was who thought posting that was a good idea is pretty high on that list.
