Teen arrested after MySpace posting:
A 16-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday after postings on the popular Web site MySpace.com allegedly showed him holding handguns, authorities said.
Police searched the boy’s home after receiving a tip from Evergreen High School on Feb. 10, the same day he was suspended, officials said.
School spokesman Rick Kaufman said parents were calling with concerns and some kept their children home after photographs posted on the boy’s profile on MySpace.com, a social networking Web site, began circulating through the community.
One photo allegedly showed him lying on a floor surrounded by nine rifles with the caption, “Angel o’ death on wings o’ lead.”
Now the problem here isn’t MySpace even though some over-reactionary news outlets might have you think that. The problem here as usual is clueless parents. If you’re the parent of a teenager odds are that more than likely they have a MySpace account. And if they do have one you may be a little surprised to what they are posting.
Here’s the kicker to the situation though…
Evergreen High School is in the same district as Columbine High School.
