It is wonderful that in this day and age the responsibility of having a child ends for the parents at birth. After that we blame our doctors for not properly treating the children, sue the school teachers for not monitoring their habits, bring suit against grocery stores if our children steal from them, blame their friends for bad decisions, ban musicians because our children use drugs and alcohol, and sue websites for not watching our children when we should be. I wonder if it may be easier to just give the children to the “system” after they are born since this is where parents place all blame and responsibility. Lets face it parents only want to be responsible for their children when it suits them, the good and happy times, the ooohing and awing. But other than that they all seem to be under the impression that the blame should fall with someone else, their children would NEVER do something like this!!!!
It sounds like everyone agrees parenting is hard. Obviously, there are different parenting styles and different hazards to children now than there was 50 years ago. But, I don\’t think that means you can simply blaim the site. I heard someone mention CC verification…what if you leave your wallet on the table. I also heard people talking about how resourceful children can be (putting the computer in the kitchen). There is no way we can expect MySpace to weed out all the child molesters and pervs. I think these stories are tough because many times everyone feels they\’ve done enough, and still something bad happens. Well, I think that\’s how it goes sometimes. You can talk to your kids about sex, you can be involved in almost every aspect of their lives, you can know their friends, you can know their friend\’s parents…but in the end, you can\’t guarantee that something won\’t happen to them. I can easily see the reaction of the parents to sue MySpace…it\’s almost a way of saying, \”something awful happened to my kids, and I didn\’t do anything wrong!\” They may very well be true, but unless you\’re going to keep you kids locked in the basement for their entire lives, they are going to experience bad things. They may get it from the internet, they may get it from friends or classmates, they may get it from the movies, etc. I feel bad for these parents, but I just don\’t see how you can blame the individual website without blaming the entire internet. It is a relatively new thing, but so was the telephone at one time, and so were cars. I would be interested to know if more children are being molested now than 30 years ago, or if we just here about more now that we have 24/7 media coverage from Fox, CNN, MSNBC and so on.
And you (poster) are truly an ignorant ***. I am not a lawyer and never stated that I am a lawyer. Never attempted to \”pass the bar\” as I never studied to become an attorney. Are you naturally stupid or do you have to work hard for it. As for my job at Mickey D\’s, sorry I had to fire your mom and dad.
