This lawsuit makes me so angry. The parents blame myspace? Hello?? Pay attention to what your children do online. Pay attention to where they are going and with whom. Teach your children not to do stupid things. I'm so very sorry that these girls had horrible things happen to them - I really, really am sorry. But their parents failed at the most basic of tasks - protect your children from danger and teach them how to protect themselves. Teach them to be smart and not put their name, picture, and address all over the internet.

Random thoughts, which I post while I am pretending I am STILL age 39.99999! Join me for my next 40 years...

I agree with you 100%, Carly! I think it's dumb that parents let their kids waste their time on inane sites like My Space anyway. Why weren't those girls out playing basketball or reading or doing something productive, for God's sake!
I sound like an old fart, don't I?
Damn!
