Nice story. We need to educate ourselves and our kids so that this kind of thing doesn't happen to us or them. But breaking the law to enforce a law is dubious at best. At least if an angry parent was to take the law into their own hands, it would be understandable. To institutionalize illegal procedures would not be. It would be a crime against us all.

I'm a little upset that my account got deleted, but I didn't use it much anyway. Sucks to be excluded, but I just hope what the AGs see is the truth - anything on the internet can be compromised. Don't believe me? How did underage members become a problem for MySpace?

Yes, I'm on the list. You probably hate me. I'm probably not someone you'd hate if you knew me, but that's the point isn't it? Now you don't even want to know me. We both lose.

So go and play with your friend the State - they probably won't do anything like this to you, when they're done with me. Government has a long history of respecting its citizens' rights, as well as laying down exceptional power peacefully, right?

God bless you all, and keep you safe.
