1. It is the parents' responsibility to allow (or not) and monitor their children's use of an internet-accessible computer. This includes teaching them BEFORE they start using it that you don't do things like give away your cellphone number and other personal information to random people. Especially not to 19 year olds when you're 14.

2. If the parents can't "watch their children 24/7", then guess fucking what, the kid doesn't get 24/7 access to the fucking computer (or just the internet). We can't blame every single site on the internet for the fault of the front line of defense- the parents.

3. I hope Myspace does NOT settle, but fights it and proves that stupid parents do not get to blame other people for THEIR stupidity and for THEIR lack of protection of their daughter. Ridiculous.
