Ok, obviously I'm not pro-sex offenders, but why are the families suing MySpace? Maybe the parents/families should have done a better job of teaching their teenage daughters not to meet up with people from online. Or enroll their teenage daughters in a self-defense/martial arts class along with their sons, for a change.
