I see a whole lot of blame being thrown on Yahoo! here but... what about the parents of these children? Where were the parents when their kids were surfing these rooms? Where are the parents when their kids make adult profiles and go into adult chatrooms? Come on people, yeah Yahoo! should have taken precautions but lets put some of the responsibility where it should be, on the parents who allow their children to roam the internet freely as a babysitter so they don't have to take time out of their "busy" schedule to be bothered with them.Anyone who is a parent and has surfed the web and the chatrooms knows what is out there . I truly believe some of these parents are going after Yahoo! to help sooth their own GUILTY conscience for not knowing what their kids were up to. First and foremost its the parents responsibility to protect their children,there are ways to set up computers so that children cannot get into certain areas of the net.It's pretty sad that although Yahoo! could have done better they need to take the full blame for something that is partly caused due to poor parenting.
