First off, better parenting would have helped prevent this.
Second, 30 million is not a reasonable amount for a suit. The girl went willingly to meet with this guy. Had the parents questioned where their daughter was going maybe this could've been avoided.

The girl says a 19-year-old man lied in his profile about being a senior on a football team to gain her trust and phone number.

Its ok for a 14 year old girl to go out with a senior in High School?
Lastly, fuck MySpace. I'm tired of that fad. Maybe this will be what breaks it down. Or at the very least, turns it into a moderated community.
Just my $0.03...
