Oh, yeah they are. They are still naive and stupid, just not all the sugar and spice we usually want to see tham as.
Are you sure this could never happen to your daughter? Wouldn't you still want the law to protect her (as much as the law can) from this?
Yes, I would want a law to protect her if she went to go and see this moron, and there are. BUT, I think it is the parents job to teach the kids how to handle the internet. If kids are not comfy with questions asked, DELETE. If they cannot verify the person and he/she doesnt want to show their faces, DELETE. Don't add strangers. If they add you, DELETE.
In this case, the cop pretended to be someone else than they are. Isnt this what this is all about? Shouldnt the cop be arrested now for impersonating, and luring an adult man in a scam?
I totally agree with you about parental responsibility. That's part of the problem, that parents allow electronic toys to act as baby sitters while they chase the almighty dollar, because they think that's the good life.
Cops are allowed all sorts of deceptions. But for the court to try to read this guys' mind to determine guilt is just nuts, IMO.
