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.

Third, this quote from the story again goes back to point #1:

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...
