MySpace Not Guilty in Child Assault Case
An anonymous reader writes "The Washington Post reports that a Texas judge dismissed a $30 million case against MySpace for their role in a child assault case. 19-year old Peter Solis lied about his age on MySpace to gain the confidence of a 13-year old girl. The judge ruled, 'To impose a duty under these circumstances for MySpace to confirm or determine the age of each applicant, with liability resulting from negligence in performing or not performing duty, would of course stop MySpace's business in its tracks and close this avenue of communication.'" What do you think? Good call?
Yep. Stupid parents forgot to give their kid her daily dose of mind control serum. Children should never be expected to think for themselves, but blindly follow the commands and advice of their parents, church, school officials, and government leaders ---- even when they contradict each other.
