I agree with your thought that users must determine how much they put on their profiles. I also think parents need to step up and take a little responsibility, myspace doesn’t need to be in your home, and your child’s internet
usage needs to be monitored closely. How did this 14 year old girl get to the restaurant? Why didn’t her mother question who she was going with and how she knew this “friend”? Had the mother gotten involved in her child’s life, she wouldn’t be suing a website for the endangerment of her child now. These events can be so easily avoided. While I was growing up There was only one computer, in the family room, and my parents made sure I wasn’t talking to bad people or doing bad things online. Not to shelter me from the world but to keep me safe and ensure I wasn’t harassed by these men online.
