wait until "YOU" become parents. Its not being 'over' protective, its trying to protect them from the pervs out there.
If a parent is that concerned, put the computer in the living room where you can easily see what the kids doing. There are parental controls you can put on there, but there is no excuse for not knowing whats happening with their kids. The parents seem to be going a bit overboard 'if' this boy is still just a boy. The problem is there are so many pervs out there preying on our kids that you cant be certain whos who.
It doesnt sound like this kid targeted their daughter, yet the parents do have a right to be concerned. Some of you have you frillies in a bunch over your 'imagined' rights.
As for "rights", I dont give a good goddam about kids "rights". You live under your parents roof, regardless of age, you dont have a whole hell of a lot of rights. The parents have every right in the world to check out what their kids are doing on the internet, theyre paying for it. It is our duty to our children to sheild them from the "horrors of real life" as long as we can. To allow them to be children as long as they can be. Too soon we have very little control, what we teach and stand behind today, shapes who they become later.
Many of these replies are just kids opening their mouths only to have stupid fall out. Doesnt anyone have any clue that there are people who really care about what their kids are doing ? That trying to keep kids safe is what a parent does when they love their kids? Come on, think a little before you just go off half cocked. They say our children are our future, what kind of future do you want? Dont be dumb, really think about it. The way some of you are responding to this post, our future looks pretty damn scarry.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
