I didn't bother with your views on the show because I don't consider them valid, since you've never seen it.

As for 12 year olds on the internet, without knowing the full extent of what is said between the two, I certainly can't comment on that either. As for choice, at 12, can they make that choice with a full knowledge of the consequences? I don't think so. My daughter is 12, and there are certain message boards that she and her friends "meet" on after school. She has a full understanding that she must never reveal her true name, her location, the name of her school, her age, or any personal information. Although she tends to talk to her friends from school, there are plenty of kids that aren't local as well.

As for victims having a choice, that is pure rubbish. You have a gun in your face, your choices are limited.

Oh, and, btw, I received a text message from DMC the other day, and my daughter told me that I was not setting a very good example about meeting people from the internet.
