While I do agree they probably shouldn't have had that done, the response of the moms in the forum is pretty funny as some of them want to have facebook shut down and get the cops involved.

Also, how do they not realize that their 14 year old installed the program of their own will?

That thread is incredibly scary. I get tired of this "for the children" mantra that's used to justify every last pissy tirade of every self-righteous parent on the face of the Earth. If the mother actually cared, she'd have not turned her kid loose on the Internet in the first place (what, you mean random strangers won't raise my kid for me?). Also, let's just ignore the fact that the kid is 14 years old.
