MySpace sued by families of abused girls

Associated Press reports the families of four teenage girls who were raped by adults they met on MySpace are suing the company:

"In our view, MySpace waited entirely too long to attempt to institute meaningful security measures that effectively increase the safety of their underage users," said Jason A. Itkin, an Arnold & Itkin lawyer. The families are seeking monetary damages “in the millions of dollars,” Itkin said. "Hopefully these lawsuits can spur MySpace into action and prevent this from happening to another child somewhere," he said.

While I am all for anything that would keep children from becoming the victims of sexual predators online, shouldn't these parents have had a better idea of what their daughters were doing? And most teenagers are smart enough not to arrange personal meetings with people they talk to online?
