Have you read about or heard about the lawsuit against MySpace.com. If you haven't, you can read about it here, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070119/ap_on_hi_te/myspace_lawsuit_38. Basicly, 4 families are suing the popular website because they have no control over their kids. These 4 families had daughters that were sexually assaulted by men they met on MySpace.
If you ask me, it's a frivolous lawsuit. Since these people refuse to take responsibility for their kids. It's not MySpace's responsibility to protect your kids. That's your job as parents. Of course there are things that MySpace could be doing better, but that's not going to stop your kids from lying about their age and doing what they want on the site. Since the site is free, there is not much that MySpace or anyone else can really do. If MySpace charged for their service, a lot of this would go away. When paying for the services of MySpace, you would have to have proof of age, by paying with a credit card.
Grow up people, and stop being idiots. Take responsibility for your kids, and raise them yourselves. Quit blaming everybody else for your kids problems. You are the ones raising them, and if you were doing a good job then a lot of this crap wouldn't be happening. Nobody ever said that raising children was going to be easy, or fun. It's a job, just like anything else you do in life, it's hard.
