Now, what I'm wondering is : Just how much sex-with-five-year-olds was going on in that area at that time, such that the one girl in (hundreds of?) millions who happened to hit puberty at age 0.75 also just happened to get knocked up?

Berating people who blame the families of abuse victims who were solicited online, as some have done, is a bullshit excuse that ignores that fact that maybe parents should go back to being responsible for their own damn children.
So your kids got raped. That sucks. But it's not the fucking Internet's fault.

QFT!
I've been saying for years (Just not on this forum) that people need to take responsibility for the fruit of their loins. Just this summer my motorcycle was kicked over by a 9 year old girl, when I caught her and took her to confront her parents, her dad said and I quote: "It's not my fault, I didn't even know she was out."
Yeah, you're kids out at 3 am vandalizing other peoples property, and you didn't know she was out? Great parenting skills you deadbeat moron.

My thought when I read the internet article today is that had those kids not met someone on MySpace, it could have been an AOL chat room, a Yahoo! Forum, or any other such place. I mean, come on... MySpace is not the spawn of all evil. As Tim said, parents need to do just that - be parents.
Where were they when their kids were arranging these online meetings anyway? Just a thought...
It's a horrible thing that happened, yes, but blaming the administrator of MySpace for the fact that Mommy and Daddy aren't monitoring Suzy's internet usage bother's me on MANY levels.

No body is responsible for anything until something bad happens. Then everyone else but the recipient of the "Bad Things, Man" is instantly responsible and of course liable for not preventing the occurance in the first place.

What a freakn' moron!?! Ummmm aren't Parents held responsible for the acts of their children until they turn 16 or 17?? When they cease to be a 'minor'?

Yeah, they are, though I think it's 18 in Canada. Oh well, he paid me a couple hundred dollars to keep the incident out of court. Which was much more than the cost for repairs since I did it myself. Heh heh heh. Do I feel bad? No, should I?

Well if the kid gets a bit of discipline - it might be a good thing. What the fuck was a 9 year old doing out anyway? Unless it was in their backyard or at the very least with some neighbours.

I wish I could tell you. She lived in the apartment complex just down the street from my house. And there's always kids out late at night around here. Usually walking around in groups causing trouble, getting into fights and so on.
Working nights at the 7-11, kids wandering around at 3am isn't uncommon. We usually just called the police to come and take them home.
