Daughter Gets Molested, Mom Falls All Over Self To Sue

The mother of a 14 year old girl in Austin, Texas is suing Social Internet giant Myspace.com for $30 Million because her 14 year old daughter was molested by a pervert she met on the website.

According to the lawyers representing the family, myspace doesn’t do enough to verify the age of its users nor does it take adequate measures to thwart sexual predators online.

What? My duty didn't end at giving birth?!

I'm not quite sure exactly how Myspace is supposed to be certain what age its users are, but I'm sure it would be much easier for parents to take responsibility for knowing what their kids are up to.
