For some reason I can't help but think the parent(s) are involved in this. It just seems to f-ing convenient.

The sad part is that MySpace will likely settle this out of court. You have to look at what they are being sued for, not why. They lack controls to keep minors out. Not saying they should have to police everyone, but....

I hate MySpace anyhow.....

There's no way Myspace would be held accountable. Why not sue Xanga or Livejournal for the same thing? The fact of the matter is that if you put up a profile of yourself online you're just opening yourself up to such things if you're underage. Myspace should have an 18+ rule, but then again who's to stop some 14 year old dipshit from lying over a computer. Even if people were honest, would that stop things like sexual assault from happening? No...because there will always be creepy weird people on the webernet. The key is to use one's judgement when coordinating such contacts. Myspace can't be held accountable just because you're borderline retarded no more than Nextag can because an online retailer they have listed screwed you. It's all about personal accountability.
