Scott, I am not much younger than you and I also have two daughters. But still, I cannot agree with your point of view.

Yes, it's tragic what happened, but bottom line is that parents are responsable for raising their kids, not websites. Those girls were clearly disturbed, which is unfortunate, but as a society we cannot start acting like the Handicapper General in Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s "Harrison Bergeron". What we have to do is take responsability for raising our own kids. Especially since today there are several ways to block sites you don't want your children to see.

I don't think there is anything wrong with having a story that feels true, like in RSE. To be honest, I think it just makes you realise how good the writter was.

And as for books always being truthful, I disagree with that too. I once caught my daughter with a creationist book and had to spend a whole lot of time explaining to her that it was not the Great Flood that killed the dinosaurs and the the Earth is a lot older than 5,000 years. Even though that was annoying, I am not out to try to sue the author of that book.
