I'm not seeing them as bad parents. Teenagers are emotional, angst ridden individuals. They act out in all kinds of ways. This particular child had even more issues then the normal teen, and perhaps her parents thought she was overcoming a lot of them. I think 70% of the blame lies with the parent who was posting the crap on myspace and the other 30% goes to the child and the child's parents.
Maybe some of us have forgotten how confusing it is to be a teen?
