Man accused of grooming girl, 11, for sex on Facebook

The 27-year-old man from Bidwill in Sydney's west allegedly became friends with the girl through the social networking website on March 7, police said.

Police said they exchanged messages before he arranged to meet the girl for sex.

The girl told her mother, who reported the man to police.


Link SMH:

This is how the net is policed. Conroy's filter isn't gonna stop something like this from happening unless facebook is blocked... and that'd cause a general strike. If people can't get to their Farmville crops there'll be rioting in the streets.

The girl's parents were brilliant and are to be commended. Instead of waiting for the government to Superman by and save us all her parents gave her a rough idea of what would be bad and were open to being told that something was going on.

She got a little out of her depth and knew that her parents were gonna help her, not get all hysterical and go biblical on her. That's parenting. That's the responsibility that you've given birth to. Suck it up!
