Come on now...You can't seriously blame the parents. If it were a 5 year old releasing a virus, then yeah, mommy and daddy shoulda been watchin a little more closely. But while writing a virus isn't the most difficult task in the world, It is complex enough to require a person to be of a certain age/intellect. And at that age/intellect, a person should no longer require the constant supervistion of their parents. Our first exposure to morality/ethics is instilled by our parents, true...but once we get out into the world, our entire environment and personality affect our morals. In some cases the 'blame the parents' idea is correct, but when you start throwing it around in a situation such as this, it becomes yet another 'blame someone else' bit. Bottom line, the sole responsibility for these rest on the shoulders of the person who released the virus.
