IMO, the women who instigated the ficticious boy online is nothing more than a kid who has not grown up. She should receive some sort of punishment for the very least in breaking the rules of the myspace site. As for the girls parents, I feel for them however, 13 year old on a computer needs to be monitored. As we have come to find out, the internet is a new found place for preditors of all kinds of whack-os.

Wolfehunter, I think you are bit harsh on the girls parents. Todays child is exposed to everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Parents today can and do spend their time looking out and doing their best to keep the crap from seeping in. Our liberal society takes everything to the edge and likes to see if they can get away with it. When I was a kid movie ratings were G, PG, R and XXX. Now it is PG-13 in the mix which is really a gray area of what is acceptable for a 13 year old and what is not. Hollywoods perception of PG-13 is very much different then my perception of a PG-13 movie. Do I look before I say yes to my 13 year old? Sure do. Case and point, the movie Twilight is out and my daughter wanted to see it with her buds. I cased the movie, saw a review that stated no sex or violence. Read a few more reviews and made the decision this movie was fine for her to see. So, I was able to look after my daughter for her best interest and her young impressionable mind. However, there are things I can not get to before it happens. For example, the internet. No matter how many pop up blockers I have, some twisted arse looking to peddle porn for a dollar gets through. It happened to 10 year old. She popped in on a kids website, up pops a porn site with naked women. She did not say anything for 3 days. My wife and I did not know about it until she came crying to us that she saw a naked women on the kids website. No matter were a parent turns, sex and sexually related items, advertisment, ideas are all over the place. It is simply out of control and most parents do their best to keep it away until that day explaining it their child arrives. It is very hard today as everything media related has become a free for all. The internet has become a tool for the worse in some cases. This case is a fine example. This women was thinking like a Jr High School girl who was doing her best to play mind games. It worked and sadly so. She has some mental problems of her own that need to be addressed. For a women this age, this is purely a case of deceit. Letting her go free should not happen however, living with this stigmata of not being trustworthy will follow her for the rest of her life but somehow in her twisted immature mind, she will pull a OJ Simpson and really start to believe she had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, if I was an employer and she showed up on my doorstep, she would not be using a computer at my place of business. Who knows what she is capable of on a computer. She will wear her scarlet letter 'S' from here on out.
