If you dont know what myspace is please go to the top right hand corner of this page, and click the “X” you see because the rest of this article is too much for you to comprehend. We all know that it is very popular among teens and even younger than teens. Well its being sued! And by a 14 year old girl for that matter, and for 30 Million Dollars! She claims she was assaulted by a man claiming to be a senior on his schools football team.Learn how to blogMake money from your blog

Instead P. Solis was a 19 year old that picked her up, took her to dinner, than a movie, than a parking lot, and did the henious act. And now the girl and her lawyer who will probably take about 40% of any money recieved are suing myspace for 30,000,000, that is a lot of change. What the hell is a 14 year old kid going to do with that kind of money. IN the case the girl stated that the web site does nothing to verify the ages or identities of those who chat on the site and send emails to other site members.

The girl’s attorney says the lawsuit is the first of its kind. Although Myspace has a “Tips for Parents” page which states that users must be 14 or older, no proof is required to verify members ages.

Myspace officials say that the site takes “aggressive” measures to protect members. The site is the third most viewed internet site in the world, with 80 million members.

Attorney Generals from Texas and four other states have already asked Myspace to tighten their security measures, using such tactics as requiring users to identify themselves and their ages with a credit card or valid email account. The precident-setting lawsuit will help determine whether a web site is legally responsible for activity that occurs away from the site.

Where are the parents? Why didn’t the mother question who brought her 14 year old daughter home from school? Why is this girl stupid enough to get in a car with someone she doesn’t know?
I don’t see much validity to this arguement. MySpace.com is not a dating website, nor was it created to serve as a way for strangers to meet each other in person. A person should know there is always risks involved in meeting a complete stranger, especially one from the internet. As for children, it is their parent’s job to educate them on the dangers of what is out there.
