NEW YORK (Reuters) - Popular Internet social network MySpace said on Tuesday it detected and deleted 29,000 convicted sex offenders on its service, more than four times the figure it had initially reported.

Blumenthal, who led a coalition of state authorities to lobby MySpace for more stringent safeguards for minors, and other state AGs have demanded the service begin verifying a user's age and require parental permission for minors.

Get parental permission? Verify a user's age? How on earth do they propose that can be accomplished?

The families of several teenage girls sexually assaulted by MySpace members sued the service in January for failing to safeguard its young members.

I'm all about protecting children, and locking up the pieces of shit that would harm them, but this sounds like it's going down a dangerous road. Once again, blame the website instead of the parents.
Maybe someone should sue the parents for not doing the job of monitoring and safeguarding their children like they're suppose to? Why do so many parents feel that the internet is a playground that their children can enjoy unsupervised?
