My point was referencing the 'she has the body of a child' comment. I agree she is still a child, but I was also a 12 year old girl once and I can assure you, 12 year old girls think about boys and sex. At that age, body and brain are not always on the same wave-length.

I blame the parents for sure, because they obviously didn't care enough about their kid in the first place. Frankly no child (and she is a child) should have access to an unfiltered internet without supervision. I would bet she was a latchkey kid whole parents both worked and let the internet, the x-box and the tv do the work for them. Unfortunatly those lead to the youth getting messages about what is considered appropriate behaviour which is the super-sexing of our society.

I absolutely agree the parents are at fault here. I may have been sexually aware at 12 having already started puberty, but I certainly wasn't sexually active and that's due to parenting.
