Had both sets of parents responsibly monitored their childrens online activity this may or may not have had a different outcome. While Megans parents were lax in monitoring her activity, the other mother (acted more like a child from what Ive read) not only was lax in monitoring but was an active participant. That to me is outrageously irresponsible and a disgrace.I certainly don't disagree that Ms. Drew at best showed extremely poor judgment and maturity.
My concern is that the message Megan's parents are seeking to spread is that the government should be the protector of our children via laws criminalizing untrue chatting. I would rather they promote the idea of parents stepping up and doing the protecting themselves.

I agree with you, I think these sickos should simply be shunned, as what seems to be happening now. Their business is closed due to bad reputation, I think they should leave it alone and move on, public justice has been served. As for the offenders themselves, I wouldn’t trust them with my dog.
