I looked through the other comments, and saw one thing sorely lacking... everyone's concentrating on parenting, and not looking at the REAL issue.
The REAL issue is that you are blaming a website. MySpace does NOT encourage pedophiles. Telling them to spend thier (limited resources) searching through their site and reviewing all the content that people post is ***BULLSH_T***.
Is Hotmail supposed to read everyone's email to make sure they're not either a kid revealing to much information, or an adult asking for too much? OH... well maybe AOL Instant Messenger should review ALL instant messages on thier network too... and blogging websites... and chatrooms...
Of course there might always be a rogue site......so MAYBE we should have Internet Service Providers be REQUIRED to block the ENTIRE internet... except for the sites that they have reviewed, and deemed to be safe. (We might have to pay them 3 times as much to get one tenth of the value... but that's apparently what people want, right?)
WTF !!!!!!
Get a life, and stop blaming people who didn't do anything to hurt you! You ARE hurting them!
BTW - I've never heard anyone suggest that MySpace did not cooperate with a legitimate law enforcement agency performing an investigation. (That is the ONLY thing that I would expect of them)

I thought LiveJournal at www.livejournal.com has already been doing this for at least 6 months???? (Doesn't seem very innovative or new to me?)
