parents sue myspace.com, their daughter was raped and what do you think

I think that it is not the fault of myspace but the fault of the parents for not monitoring what their children are doing and their internet activity. No one should ever put themselves in a situation where they could be hurt by someone they meet on the internet. Children should be educated by their parents about the stalkers and possible nut jobs on the internet. To them the internet is the best tool to find victims and places like myspace are great to chat with people that are all over the world but you should never expose all your personal information to a stranger. Really if I had a child they would not be allowed to do myspace at all. It's too dangerous because they may not know better to not disclose there exact whereabouts.

Parents should better know what their kids are doing. The problem is that most parents are buzy or lazy. After school activity is an answer for it. Dance, art, karate and much more. Somtimes parents are so happy when kids are quiet and they are not checking on them. Plus, many parents are not talking to girls about safety.

I don't know all the particulars. But, what about the parent's or the daughter's responsibility? This is how society is these days, pass the responsibility and blame everybody else. Myspace cannot control who chooses to use their site; unless they have an age limit.

I honestly think that my space isn't responible for this unfortunate event. The girls parents were because they allowed her on my space obviously un attened. This is no place for a child to be unattended,anytime your child is on the internet you should be within a distance so that you can see what is going on as well. POS parent over shoulder !!!

if true there is only so much a internet company can do, the rest has to come from the parents themselves most ISP's provide their own sort of internet security. I would not blame myspace because if it was me I would be looking at myself not the company.

I think this is absolutely ridiculous. These parents are just getting as much as they can out of this incident. It is not myspace's fault that this girl met a creep on there and met up with him, and was raped. It's like if this happened in an AOL chat room, would you sue AOL? I think the parental controls are not a good idea. I mean I'm sure many people won't even use it.

oh my god are you serious... how had happened?
