What he did he should be punished for.....My question is, where were the parents???? Did they not meet the guy? Did she just go out without her parents knowing?

Although I don't give Myspace a free pass on this issue, how is it their fault that parents allow a 14 year old to go out on a date with a 19 year old? Where is the personal responsibility here? This seems to be an example of the victim mentality that so permeates our society these days....

For the sake of discussion I tried to think about this from the girl's perspective.

MySpace provides a social network that is intended to introduce people with similar interests and facilitate that communication. The suit alleges that MySpace's security controls are ineffective.
