Seriously, if this girl gave up an acceptance for FREE college at a top notch school, then maybe she wouldn't have lasted at Tech anyway. I'm not a frequent watcher, but I caught Wife Swap on Monday, and they had a father who had no idea that his 13 year old daughter had posted soft-core pictures of herself on her MySpace page. (Sadly, the mom knew about it and did nothing.) All parents need to be engaged in their children's lives, both online and offline, period.
