If it is a child who lied about their age online, MORE THAN ONCE... the parents are truly at fault for not teaching their children who bad that is, regardless of how the child's photo appears.
And in a case where it is a multiple offense against the same child? C'mon on... I am all for protecting children, but if the parents' can't control their own child after MULTIPLE online procecutions... at what point does it go from rare to commonplace for that child? At what place do we blame the idiot parents from properly teaching online situations to their own (supposedly) beloved children????
A child initiator in such cases either is a legally demanded compliance in an investigation or it clearly indicates a BAD UPBRINGING. I am glad that the adults were caught before any "real" harm came to the subject, but still... this is not an isolated incident in this case!
