Blame is really tricky in this situation. Obviously some of the blame lies with the tricksters, but it's difficult for me to lay the blame on the parents. What kind of parent actually monitors their child's use of myspace? What kind of parent takes therir daughter to a councelor when they're concerned? That's insanely good parenting. Most parents don't make time to keep an eye on their myspace kids, to the detriment of the children.
This really just strikes me as a case of "that's really sad" or "those were really unfortunate circumstances".
