You know what? As a parent, I really have to say that 12-year olds need to be monitored when it comes to the Internet, and I do think the parents were remiss. No 12 year old is mature enough to be allowed free rein on the Internet, and it's the job of those of us who are parents to KNOW where our kids are surfing. It's not the job of the Internet to police our kids. We are the legal guardians, the adults, and we need to assume responsibility.
