A 14-year-old Travis County girl who said she was sexually assaulted by a Buda man she met on MySpace.com sued the popular social networking site Monday for $30 million, claiming that it fails to protect minors from adult sexual predators.

Dear Parents, It is your job to protect your child from predators and to monitor what your children are doing while on the computer.

Here is a good way to start.
-Do not allow computers in teenager's rooms. Move the computer into the living room as visible to all as is the television.
-If your teenager always has the door shut when on the computer but not when doing other things in their room, they don't want you to know what they are doing and likely doing what they should not be.
-Install software that will let you either review what your kids did on line or will let you watch from another computer in the house.

Or, just get out the yellow pages and higher an attorney to sue.

You are correct. And Safe Libraries has a page on this very topic: LMIRL.
