Judy Cajuste: 14 Year Old NJ Girl Found Dead

Police have identitified the body of a New Jersey girl as 14 year old Judy Cajuste. Left naked, strangled and placed in a dumpster, authorities are looking into her PC records, as they believe she may have met foul play as the result of meeting an individual through her MySpace account.

The full account is set to private. Assuming it was so when she met someone, it may help authorities conduct the investigation.

Jan 24, 2006 10:15 am US/Eastern
NEW YORK (WCBS) A body of a young woman found in a dumpster has been identified as Judy Cajuste, who was reported missing by her family on January 12. Her body was found naked and strangled in a dumpster the next day.

As the family of the 14-year-old mourns their loss, police start looking for murderer. Neighbors of the Roselle, New Jersey family, are enraged by her murder.

Cajuste never returned home from a track meet on January 11, and authorities have just a few leads on her disappearance and death.

Police want to look into Cajuste's computer which could offer some clues as to whom she was corresponding with on-line. Cajuste reportedly met a man in his twenties from Newark, possibly through her profile on myspace.com.

She deserves it. How idiotic of her.

Well you know what they say, its better to be pissed off than pissed on...unless your into that kinda thing. Recently, on a local television station which shall remain nameless, mainly because I think their a bunch of closed minded nazi communists from hell, no offense to the nazi crowd out there, this station decided to do a segment about online communities, namely...you got it, MYSPACE.com. Now of course they in all fairness did mention other communities as well but targeted myspace. The show presented myspace as a hunting ground for child molesters, rapists, murderers, and other sickly depraved people whoever they may be. While I do agree that there are far too many children getting onto myspace, the internet as a whole and myspace inparticular are not the dangerous predator filled areas they want the public to think they are. Any form of media, or community group is now and always have been hunting grounds for sexual predators. The Boy and Girl Scouts are prime examples.
If you want cookies you go to a bakery, if you want candy you go to the candy shop, if your a sexual predator you go where you KNOW your going to find children, or other vulnerable prey.
If they really want to help people, then educate the children and the adults to use some common sense.

1) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER TELL ANY STRANGER WHERE YOU GO TO SCHOOL, CHURCH...ETC. THIS IS COMPLETLY STUPID!

2) JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS THEIR ANOTHER KID YOUR AGE DOESNT MEAN THEY ARE AND ALL OLDER PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU, RAPE YOU, ABUSE YOU...ETC.

3) IF SOMEONE IS ASKING YOU QUESTIONS YOU WOULDNT OTHERWISE ANSWER TO AN OLDER PERSON OR FRIEND , BE SMART, DONT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. THIS GOES FOR THE LITTLE MYSPACE QUESTIONAIRES AS WELL. JUST BECAUSE THEY ASK YOUR NAME, TELEPHONE .., SCHOOL YOU ATTEND, DONT GO STUPID AND GIVE IT TO THEM.

4) LADIES, THIS IS FOR YOU, 99F YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL IN YOUR OWN WAY. YOU DONT NEED SOME FAT SMELLY GUY SITTING AT HIS COMPUTER IN HIS UNDERWARE PRETENDING TO BE ORLANDO BLOOM TELLING YOU HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE AND ASKING TO TAKE YOUR PICTURES...AND YES BELIEVE IT OR NOT SOME OF YOU FALL FOR THIS ! IF YOU DONT KNOW THE GUY YOUR TALKING TO, AGAIN, DONT GO STUPID! YOU'LL END UP MISSING, FOUND DEAD, OR SEVERLY INJURED. AND NO I DONT BELIEVE ALL GUYS ARE THIS WAY I SURE AS HELL AM NOT SO SAVE THE HATE LETTERS!

5) GUYS, ALL THIS APPLIES TO YOU TOO! YOU MAY THINK YOUR TEN FEET TALL AND BULLET PROOF...GUESS WHAT, YOUR NOT! THAT GORGEOUS WOMAN YOU JUST MET ON THE NET MAY IN FACT BE A TWISTED PSYCHO LOOKING TO FIND A MARK. MALE OR FEMALE, PSYCHOS DO IN FACT COME IN ALL AGES AND BOTH SEXES. OHHH AND BY THE WAY, GUYS, JUST BECAUSE THIS CUTE LIL THING YOU JUST MET ON THE NET TELLS YOU YOUR HOTT AND JUST CANT WAIT TO MEET YOU, BEFORE YOU GO THINKING WITH THE WRONG HEAD, YOU JUST MAY BE TALKING TO A COP. 10-20 IN THE POKEY ISNT CONSIDERED A GOOD TIME IN ANY BOOK!

6) JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GAY/LESBIAN, HAS TATTOOS, PEIRCINGS, BODY MODS OR IS INTO FETISHES DOES NOT MAKE THEM A PREDATOR! YES FOR SOME STRANGE REASON MANY PREDATORS ARE INTO THESE THINGS OR ARE GAY/LESBIAN, HOWEVER MANY SUPPOSEDLY UPSTANDING BUSSINESS MEN AND WOMEN WHO DRESS IN SUITS AND FANCY CLOTHES ARE THE BIGGEST PREDATORS OUT THERE! DONT START POINTING FINGERS.

Use the common sense you were born with. Your not going to drink battery acid just because someone tells you it tastes like Kool-Aid and your not going to set yourself on fire with gas and matches because someone tells you it would look cool!
Dont give out personal information and dont go off meeting total strangers you just meet online. Think before you act!
As for all the children joining myspace...if your the parent and your letting your kid do this,and your not monitoring them and what their doing, your a loser! Because guess what Ol Big Brother, our ohhh soo wonderful Govt is just chomping at the bits to do it for you and when they do, you lose! Game over!

Im a 16 year old girl with a myspace account. I do not think this was Myspace's fault. She shouldnt have met the guy in the first place. Parents don't spy on your child and don't take the computer away from them it'll make them want to rebel. Just talk to them about the danger's of the internet. My parents know about my account and have nothing against it beacuse they know i would never talk to someone i dont know. checking the history also won't work...they can go on at a friends house or they can delete the history.

If you ask me its pretty stupid to have your MYSPACE set to privite cause that jus causes more people to view it and wanting to see whats inside and sorry but she is being a tease with her name, thats jus asking for something eventhough it could have been harmless to her but to other "pervs" thats a invite to something good and shes young so it makes things so much better. I have a myspace myself and my mother does know about it she has her own also to view even my pictures eventhough all my picutes have mean wearing cloths if my mother doesnt like it i delete it cuase i kno shes looking out for me and i respect that, plus look back a few years when AOL and AIM was so big for murders and such, u jus need to be smart about things and only talk to the people you know plus why would u want people knowing all of your business if they live four states over from you and ull never talk to or see. just think about your actions and jus show your kids this story and tell them that the only way the can have one of these blogs is if you can have the password and your allowed to view it for their saftey cause i kno they wouldn not wanna end up like this girl who made a big mistake.

[Angie]

My heart goes out to the family.But I have somthing to say about this myspace issue. I personally have a myspace and yes im a teen> I personnaly dont think all teens should get there privlalges taking away becauseof some girls stupidity to meet a person online. I talk to people online but I do not give out my personal info I am personally not that stupid. So dont blame myspace. Its the teens fault she met some one online!!!!!!!!!

[Erin]

First of all, the person who said that their teenager doesn't deserve privacy is an idiot. If you have a good relationship w/your child, then you only have to minutely worry about what they're not telling you.
Second of all, what types of values was this child taught? Her website "name" was "i'll be your dinner while we watch TV". That's disgusting and pathetic that a teenager would not only KNOW something like that, but POST it. Of course there are outside influences that project these "images" to children, but the parents are there to lay down the rules to say, HEY. Just b/c it's out there doesn't make it right or appropriate. I'm not blaming this parent for what happened to the child, but parents are not forceful enough with simple rights and wrongs these days.
Of course, some children are unmanagable. I was a wayward child myself, no matter how hard my parents tried. However, if we had had a "closer" relationship, I KNOW I wouldn't have done half the stuff I did. One of the things they did do? Tried to take away my privacy.
A MIDDLE GROUND people, a MIDDLE ground. Don't be their friend, be their parent. But don't be their drill sargent either. Strict but kind. No fourteen year old should be advertising their tush on myspace.

[just another kid]

if parents have to snoop in the first place than a very important link in the chain has been broken (i.e) trust. and the lack of this trust would cause naive children to go out and form relationships with total strangers in what they see ass the "comfort" of their own home without the chance of harm. when the reality of it all is interweb relationships are just as dangerous as jumping into a car with a stranger. Then again my mother simply told me about the dangers in todays society rather than "snoop" and i stayed out of trouble. my father on the other hand would put restrictions on the computer and looked at the history on a daily basis when i would spend the summer with him. his reasoning "to keep me in line" the only problem was that i was rapidly growing more intelligent than my father especially in the field of new tech. as you can guess i learned how to cover my tracks and view as much porn as i wanted. i could also read and save the conversations my dad would have with other women (his new wife wasnt happy) it seems that kids arent the only ones that need to be monitored.
what it all boils down to is this mom trusted me told me what could happen and i believed her, didnt surf porn didnt meet people online or except candy from strangers. dad didnt trust me, locked me out of something that HE felt i was too young to handle when in the end it was me that had a better grip on the situation, and just because he didnt want me to i was compelled to surf porn.

its your life, your kids, raise them however i just wanted to give you parents out there some insight on the newer generation.

[Harlan Lovestone]

Is this real?? When a friend posted this link I just could not believe it. How terrible. I think parents really have to set guidelines. No talking or meeting strangers doesn't just go for the playground but for the internet too!!!!! The internet is the playgound on the computer!!!! If parents don't wise the kids up someone else will. Also its a very good idea to monitor what kids do online. Have the computer in a central location where everyone is or can see it and lockout certain websites if you don't want your kids on it. I personally would not let my kids go on yahoo, myspace or most of the other social websites ,cause I feel they are primarily adult communities. That's to say that filled with adults and kids and adults really shouldn't have much to talk about on a regular basis unless its a parent or teacher or mentor. You wouldn't take a kid to a bar and leave them their. Folks it the same thing. It really boils down to setting limits and creatting awareness. Thats not the governments job, or school, that begins at home! My heart really goes out to this young lady and her parents.

[sincitylulu]

First and foremost my condolences to the family. To lose a child is terrible. I am 26 and have a myspace account as well. I think as someone said age is just a number. I get offensive emails on a frequent basis as well as strangers wanting to talk to me and so forth. However it does not mean that you have to pay attention. By all means this girl did not deserve to be murdered. But i think when you are 14 you really have this notion that nothing can hurt you. i know because i was once this naive. I think the only way to do it is snoop. For example I found my neice on myspace who is 13 years old and claims to be 17. My one neice was posting provacative messages and bloggs, and bulletins. needless to say i advised her mother. and now the situation is rectified..her mother is also on myspace as well as her whole family to monitor what she is doing. Unfortunately that's the only way to do it.

[Lorainne]

It is terrible to see such a horrible thing to happen to such a young person. There is no one to blame for this except for the murderer. The parents arent to be blamed, millions of young teens are registered with online websites and the parents might never know. Judy was being your average curious teenager. So for all of you trying to make the parents look bad, or trying to make Judy look like a bad girl, I shun you.

[Channelle]

MySpace.com is not bad guys. I met my Boyfriend on there, and he is the GREATEST thing to EVER happen to me, and there are alot of people wo meet and marry people on myspace. so DONT THINK IT IS A BAD PLACE TO MEET PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just because of one incident dosnt mean that EVERY ONE ON IT IS BAD!!!!!!! She was not careful about how she went about meeting him, she was stupid. you guys may not agree with me but it was her fault, not myspaces.

[Mindee]

Ok so iam 22 years old and i have a myspace account and the use of my myspace is for talking to old friends from school. I think that it is the job of the parent to know what your kids are doing and who they are talking to. I live at home still and everyone i talk to online my parents know about. If you have teenagers i think you need to ask them if they have a myspace.... or any other type of site like that and then ask to see it. The chances are that they do. Myspace is a great site and its a great thing that can be used wrong by all the sickos and weirdos out there, but again that is where knowing who your kids are talking to comes in. Look at who your kids are adding as friends, if they dont know them DONT ADD THEM. Thats how i am with mine.

[ViVi]

Thanks for keeping the discussion going Dan. Especially in light of today's discovery of another MySpace murder.

The risks are real, guys, and deadly. No, it doesnt happen every time. But it happens far to often to ignore.

It is about so much more than expressing yourself or privacy from parents. It is about safety, life and death--which may sound overly dramatic to a teenager. Somehow, parents and kids are going to have to find a way for this expression to be had in a safer environment. Parents certainly cant watch their kids around the clock, but they can monitor what happens in their own homes, be informed as much as possible, set example, establish limits. But the parents who know this are already doing it. How do we reach the families where these basic values are absent?

[Katie Gilman]

I'm so sorry for your lost Mrs. and Mr.Cajuste! But i do want to say thank you for giving all of us other people a heads up! i did get onto myspace alot.. and now i cant.. i dont want to! but even tho i only talked to people that i know who i hang out with im still glad you guys warned all of us!

Thank You Katie

[AFO]

I feel so bad for this girl's family. I do have a few things to say about myspace though. I am 39 and I have myspace. I love my myspace. I blog every day, I network with people in my profession. People of all ages use MS to keep in touch with friends, to meet new people, to network, to blog to their heart's content. It really isn't bad. But...people are stupid sometimes. I got a friend request from this guy one time who made a very rude sexual comment about one of my pictures...which wasn't provacative at all.
Whenever I get a friend request, I go and study the person's profile extensively. I look at the friends on their friend list. If I find something that doesn't look or seem right, I don't add them.
When I checked out this guy's profile, I found some seriously disturbing things. His profile picture, which was hard to see what it was, was a picture of his gentitals and his ejaculation. Yuck! It was a strange picture and I was sorry I looked at it closer.
When I looked further, I found someone who openly was advertising for young young girls to be his friends. He was in his 30's. He showed no pictures of himself. Get this...he has a few hundred friends. About 95% of them were teenage girls. Most of those were 16 or under.
So, I started looking at the girl's profiles. Guess what I found? Every single one of those girl's profiles showed pictures in erotic clothing. They spoke of sex and what they enjoyed in bed. Their profile names were all pretty sexual. Their blogs were a mixture of sex, drinking, and your average high school chatter.
It was all disturbing as hell. I contacted myspace and they deleted his account, if for no other reason than his picture alone. Of course, he can start a new profile any time.
These girls are obviously not communicating with their parents. These girls are not just wandering in to a bad place by accident. These girls are not only accepting such attention...they are reaching out for it. I read some of this stuff.
Snooping isn't going to work. You aren't teaching them a damn thing. Actually, you are. You are teaching them about lack of trust and such. Educate them but the snooping is only going to make them find it elsewhere. And they will. Did you know that computer classes have internet access? They can use myspace at the library. Their friends house.
Don't be naive, anymore than you want your kids naive. If they want to do something...they will. And they will get more sneaky next time.

You have made me think though. Adults do need to be careful too. The myspace questionaires do sometimes ask for phone numbers and last names. I've never given my number. But I may have given my last name once.

It is all so sad...but remember, they can go to livejournal. com or xanga.com or vampirefreaks.com or a new one called welcometome.com. And tomorrow, there will be a new one.

If you haven't established a good relationship talking with your kids by 14...well, I wish you good luck for the sake of your kids.

But, for goodness sakes, try now. Tell them about this. But, don't resort to invading every shred of privacy they have. Even a therapist will tell you this is a mistake.

Btw, I have three children. My oldest son is 21 and my younger son is 15. They both have myspace accounts. And I do watch my 15's account but he knows I do. My daughter is 7.

Good luck...and condolences to Judy's family.

[just a kid who wants to be safe]

i have a myspace account and well, i guess you can say im 14. my parents dont know that i have an account... yeah, it can be dangerous, but you need to be smart and know what you are doing. if you are going to meet up with someone, you cant just meet up with anybody, make sure you know who it is you are meeting, make sure its in a public place and that you are not alone. i met someone in person from the internet about a month ago. no, shes not a murder or a rapist. just a regular girl whos my age and has the same interests i do. we met in a public place, and i got home safe. yeah, i admit.. it was stupid, but i knew who i was meeting and that i would be safe. parents - talk to your kids about their safety, make sure that they know to be safe. and if they have a myspace account, check it out once in a while and see who they are talking to.

[LANiE]

I dont know why yall are so hard on the girl! She didn't do anything wrong. How was she to know that the girl would end up raping and killing her? It's also not her parents fault. They dont know whats going on w/ their daughter because teenage girls tend to pull aside from their folks during this age. What are u suppose to do when ur teen is raging up and down w/ anger? U give 'em space to think it out and then try talking to them afterworth. Everything happens for a reason so for those who knew her, be strong, know that our heavenly father has a better plan and place for her, and keep enjoying every second of life as it flows on by. I truely feel ur pain. I know what its like to lose a loved one so I can relate, u know. I gotta head on outta here so takecare of yall'self! PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN NETTING ONLINE!

[Anon]

I have a myspace account, and this is outrageous! I'm 19 and i find this to be utterly distrubing! There are so many risks associated with ms now, colleges are checking out your page before admittance, people are kicking them out of colleges for dipections of offensive material on your ms, and then you have these horrible crimes being commited. If you're going to have a MS, i think you should be a legal adult, and be informed on the website itself, of all crimes commited from internet meetings, etc. I would go to the director of this website, and converse with him about more possible restrictions, and educating the users of possible risks,. this is a really big tradegy, esp for a 14 year old young girl. I am sick to my stomach.

[Erich]

Listen to all of you. You all sound like a bunch of Hens in a hair parlor, talking about this and that. Here's the low down on this whole situation. The girl put herself out to attract attention. "Can i be your dinner while we wacth a movie" pretty much sums up her whole attitude. Im sure her parents were not involved in her life. So there goes the whole "ever watchful protective eyes of mommy and daddy" out the window. Second, maybe she didnt even have a home PC, ya know there are these places called libraries, that offer internet access (And no, its not those insitiutions fault for allowing access to the net) Its this girls fault. Sad as it may be, she knew what she was doing, and apparantly good at hiding what she was doing, if she even had to hide what she was doing from some sort of parental figure. So all in all, if you have kids, Love them, so they arent on some stupid website replacing what theyre missing with some jaded replacment. If your a young girl and you think its cool to be an e-whore, good for you. Dont meet anyone off the damn net ya ditz. Sure show off your goods if it makes you feel good or whatever. You dont have to actually meet anyone. If youre some teenage boy, good for you, watch over your female peers, be a real man, not a player and maybe the girls wouldnt act the way they do. If youre some sickass internet predator,like John C. Penrod 35, formerly of Lithonia, Georgia, and now of Melville, New York,who pleaded guilty today to traveling in interstate commerce for the purpose of engaging in a sexual act with a person under 18 years of age. YOU WILL GET YOURS BEFORE GOD ALMIGHTY FOR YOUR DEVIANT WAYS.

THIS IS REGARDS TO--->

I am 33 years old. I was in prison for 4 years because of a relationship I had with a 14 year old girl i met on the internet. when i met her, she told me she was 19. I was in love with her, and i was still in love with her after she told me she was 14. we were going to get married when she turned 18. i loved this girl deeply, and i believed she loved me. trust me... 14 year old girls know exactly what they are doing. however, they dont know how to go about doing things the right way a lot of times. yes, this girl met me willingly. yes she decided to love me. yes she not only consented to sex, it was her idea. but she didnt have the life experience to make the right choices. she didn't know yet how to turn off her heart and turn on her brain. i never forced anything on her, i never forced her or threatened her to do anything with me. but it doesnt mean it was right. and although i never physically harmed her, i probably mentally harmed her, even tho i loved her and had no intention to hurt her. and i payed for it with 4 years in prison and 10 years as a registered offender. i never saw her again after I was arrested, and as much as i want to see her now (she is 20 now), i cannot by law. this is what happens to people. dont forget about the girls that dont get raped and dont get killed. i hope and pray to this day that she knows i loved her, and i never tried to intentionally take advantage of her. even if her lawyers and her doctors told her i prayed on her. i did something very wrong, but i still wish people could see my side of it. mailto:mhofep@AIM.com

YOURE A SICK SON OF A BITCH NO 27 YEAR OLD NEEDS TO BE TALKING TO A 14 YEAR OLD, NO 27 YEAROLD NEEDS TO BE "LOVING" A 14 YEAROLD. 27 YEAR OLDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HITTING THE BARS AND TRYING TO GET MATURE COLLEGE GIRLS, NOT GIRLS THAT ARE EXCITED CAUSE THERE PERIOD JUST STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE TIME, I HOPE YOU GOT RAPED OFTEN IN THE JOINT. IF YOU LOVED HER, WHY DIDNT YOU BOTHER TO LOOK FOR AN ID. YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE DOING. YOUR EXCUSE ARE JUST THAT, EXCUSES."YOURE STILL IN LOVE WITH HER" I HOPE YOU KNOCK ON HER DOOR SOME DAY TO BE GREETED WITH A SHOTGUN BLAST FROM HER HUSBAND OR BOYFRIEND. "PROBABLY MENTALLY HARMED HER" OF COURSE YOU DID, YOU WERE A MAN PREYING ON A CHILD'S INNOCENCE. I HOPE YOU FIND ANOTHER 14 YEAR OLD ON THE NET YOU LOVE AND GET CAUGHT, SO YOU GOTO PRISON FOR 20+ YEARS AND THEN BUBBA CAN LOVE YOUR SWEET CHILD MOLESTING BOOTY TILL YOU EITHER KILL YOURSELF OR DIE FROM ANAL TRAUMA. YOU CANT JUSTIFY WHAT YOU DID, YOURE FUCKED IN THE HEAD. DO SOCEITY A FAVOR AND GET A LENGTH OF ROPE LOOP IT TWICE AND WRAP THE CORD AROUND THOSE LOOPS 13 TIMES AND PULL THE FREE END THRU THE TOP LOOP. THEN FIND A NICE STURDY SUPPORT BEAM FOR YOUR HOUSE. ATTACH THE END OF THE ROPE TO IT NICE AN GOOD. SLIP YOUR CHOMO HEAD THRU THE NOOSE AND TAKE A PLUNGE FOR YOUR LOVE.

[Robyn]

I'm a 14 year old female, just as Judy was. And I'm not stupid enough go meet some guy that I met online. Stop saying she's so innocent. She's an IDIOT! Sorry to be so harsh.. but it's the truth.

And stop blaming only MySpace for this. Do you know how many other internet services she could have met a guy on? AIM, chatrooms, blogs...

I know I probably seem heartless because I'm not showing any sympathy. I do feel sad for her family, but they shouldn't blame myspace, what about the man who did it?

[Robyn]

Another thing, Erich, about the guy who went to jail for 4 years because he loved a 14 year old and what not. Maybe he didnt check for ID because he trusted her and loved her, and didn't want to get into her personal business.

[T.G.]

There are so many ways available to monitor activity on a computer it isn't funny. There are many tracking programs you can download and install on a computer which runs in the background, unknown to the user. Also, check history, cache, etc. for stuff that might not be appropriate. A combo of these things helped me figure out my now ex-husband was cheating on me.

Check out www.tucows.com and look around for a tracking program. Majority are freeware.

Aside from that, best you can do is set ground rules with your children. Enforce punishments if they break them. If they want a MySpace account you set it up with them and have knowledge of the account login and password so you can monitor it. Set the account so that all info is blocked from the general public. Set the account so that only people who know his/her last name can request to be a friend and only then allow people he/she knows from school to be approved. If its someone you don't recognize ask him/her who it is and decide from there if they should be an approved added friend or not. People who are not approved cannont leave MySpace comments, view photos, see personal info nor message the person privately (at least, they couldn't last I had read on the subject)

In addition, make your children aware of what can and does happen to young people who make themselves too openly available to strangers. And these days it isn't just young people who are targetted by these sickos. I myself had a scary encounter with someone I stupidly agreed to meet for dinner (6 months after my divorce). They may seem all sweet and nice but in person they can be the exact opposite. I thought he'd be pretty cool. Seemed nice, intelligent, down to earth, doting father of a cute little boy..in person - the opposite. After listening to spiteful comments about his ex-wife, girls he picks up randomly to "get some", and having him force himself on me I had to figure out a way to get away from him, and fast. Luckily I have years of jerk experience to get me out of jams like that. Young girls don't have the same type of thinking patterns, and unfortunatly these men prey on this knowing that they can get away with it.

Don't get me wrong, I've met alot of great people from MySpace who are normal, good people..but there's also alot of crazy ones out there who have nothing better to do then get their jollies by preying on these young kids.

And no matter what your kids say, they do appreciate you watching over them..even if they bitterly complain. One day they'll thank you for it.

[Coin Operated Girl]

First of all, it is sad that a 14 year old girl lost her life....but in world views 14 year old girls nowadays are drinking, having sex,going to parties, and know a computer more thoroughly than their parents do. I'm 21, and my parents restricted all the websites such as this when I was that age. Like, I couldn't find a way around it. Delete your history and temp internet files....ta dah! Home free. Teenagers will do what teenagers want to do. The more you restrain and push the more likely they are to rebel...and despise you.

I love my grandparents, whom raised me. But I don't exactly agree with their views. Myspace and blogs are not the root of all evil...these kids can make their profiles private as well as their blogs. I understand why parents snoop, I just think parents should trust their children more. Instead of opting for Robo parents. Also, if these websites offend you...block them. Don't let your kids get on them. They aren't dangerous to those who show caution. Most of the people on my Myspace account are real life friends and those who aren't there is no chance in 40 hells I would try to meet one of them. Watch where you kids go, parents if your kids have a car or friends who have cars.....make sure you know where they are. I kind of liked that as a teen, I was always taken care of.

[Caitlin...]

okay, HAVING a myspace and internet blogs are harmless.
what the kids choose to do with them is the problem.
its not the myspace account that killed her.
it was her choise to meet some one 6 years older then her off myspace.
and it was a stupid move.
on myspace you can choose to make your account private, so only your friends can see it. you can accept and choose who you want to be your friend. so theirs ways to prevent stuff like this.

i think it was the own girls fault.
i know that sounds really horrible.

but the snoopier parents are, the more kids feel like they have to hide.
and the more likeley stuff like this will happen.

Children should not be on Myspace.com or any other site that resembles it. There are sick b@stards out there who stay on the net all day in search of their next victim. Even if your child does not insert their address, a combination of her/his group of friends will somehow give out the destination of these children. A family member called me from across the country to let me know they found my child on Myspace.com. I talked to my teenager and told her about these idiots out there waiting, waiting, waiting to destroy yet another family member. We only get one chance with our children. It can happen to anyone, child or adult. We are not equipped to understand how these b@stards work, but these peices of dirt know how we work(they watch us daily). We can monitor our children constantly, but it won't stop these sick b@stards from getting their prey. I considered our family very lucky! I thank God for the telephone call I got from a concerned family member. Our children (teenagers) aren't supposed to be on this site!(Myspace.com). Our we as parents, the bad ones, just because we love our kids and want them to survive and have a life which they deserve? I don't think so! I didn't know about this girl named Judy until I came across this site, but she no way deserved any of this. My God! she was 14 yrs. old, -14 yrs. old. How could any kid Know what a predator is going to do! How would the child even know they were talking to a predator? Apparently, my daughter somehow missed the boat when it came to writing on the net. anyone and everyone can read it-a predator may be reading this right now! Think about it, this is how we learn, this is how they learn( filthy b@astards.

[Tami]

I know I responded to ViVi's comments on an actual page about what she thinks over the killings of these children on the online websites, but I wanted to respond on here over what I've been reading and iterate on what I submitted.

Again:

Over websites:

I agree with many of the people who have commented on this. The websites are not at fault for what children agree to do. I DO, however, think webmasters should put a strict age limit on the users age, unless - for MYSPACE or any other music site - they are trying to promote their EP's and music. My boyfriend has a band and they promote their music on the site and also post shows they play on there. This particular site can be very useful with promoting. But to not get off-track. Maybe the sites should put stricter rules to the pictures that are able to be posted (I have noticed a few sites already doing this. They require a twenty four hour screening of the picture before it is posted).

Over Parents:

Although I was a child who wanted freedom, I really appreciated my mother for putting rules on my daily activities. I also respected her more for answering all of my questions I asked and how she would talk with my siblings and me about the consequences of our actions if we chose to do certain things. I think many parents should be aware of what their children are doing online and I think that if their child is very young, they SHOULD be watched. It isn't that hard to find out what they are doing. You can go on any site and search to find your child, unless they are just putting entirely incorrect information about themselves online. It also isn't hard to find out what your child is doing offline. Parents should be more aware - period. Things are getting out of control this day and age. Parents should caution their children of dangers and be more watchful on their daily activities.

I also want to say that although this teen girl knew what she was doing, I'm sure she never thought in her entire liftetime she would be meeting a murderer. I'm sure she talked with this person for a while and got to 'know' him, thus, starting a trust bond with him. No child thinks they will be killed. They think what many think, "It will never happen to me!!" ... or they never think at all.

I am very taken back by the comments made by teens by putting fault on this young girl. She was very wrong in her trust of the man and this faulty judgement caused her death, but it isn't entirely her fault. I think the parents should be watching more. Be there. Know your childs schedule, because predators obviously have no feelings for right or wrong. They want to feed their greed.

[MiXxEd_uP]

Okay. I Feel For This Young Girls Death and She Will Be Greatly Missed But U have To Think Outside The Box People. Every time something Happens The Media And Every One around It Tries To Blame The Internet.... Namely Myspace.com. Well Its Not Their Fault. I Blame Society. Well Just Think. She May be Fourteen And Mature But Not Enough To Talk To Any body. When You Get On The Internet And You Are Fourteen You Cant just Talk To Any Body. It Should Dawn On You That This Insn't Right. Az For Me... i Have A Myspace.com Account And Let Me Say Something.... I Dont Feel That Myspace Should Be Held Accountable For Ones Death. I Know Right From Wrong And Talkin To Someone I Dont Know And Then Going To Meet Them or Talking On The Phone With Then Is Unacceptable. Not Saying That I Souly Blame Judy For Her Death But She Did Help. A Million Things Could have Happened. She Could Have Said Meet Me Somewhere And Given Him The School Address, Or They Could Have Talked On The Phone And He Traced The Call. However It happened It Did And It Shouldn't Have. So I Just Hope Now It's Getting Into Peoples Heads That The World Is A Dangerous place Filled With Dangerous People. Peopl Just Be Careful And Dont Talk To Any Old Person Because You never Know. Parents.... Make Sure You Know What Your Child Is Doing At All Times.... And Children..... Make Sure You Think Of The Worst That Can Happen Before You think Of The Best...... R.I.P. JUDY!!!!!

[another shocked person]

It seems like you are all only talking about children. The problems don't automatically stop when people turn 18. You can't just take away children's privay to throw it back at them when they are 18, it needs to be phased in. Don't forget that,they won't have a clue about how to behave on these sites unless it is phased in.

[andy s]

Okay, I'm an 18 year old (and thus a teenager) and as such I know that whatever I put here will probably be ignored. But most of the people on here are automatically blaming Myspace for this tragedy.

Wake up.

I'm going to get flamed to hell for this but someone has to say it. Myspace is not at fault. The guy that did it is, and to a very small extent, so is Judy. I'm not a heartless bastard, but she must have given him something to allow him to track her down with, if she had simply said, "I live in NJ" there is no way he would have found her, he can't exactly do a house to house search, and thats assuming the guy was anywhere near NJ.

Yes I have a myspace account. What did I put under location? UK. That's all anyone knows about where I live, with the exception of friends I met in person before I added them to my friends list on myspace (college, clubs etc). To be perfectly honest I just don't see how the blame can fall on internet blogs when the guy is quite clearly at fault, and judy should not have given him any information as to her location, nor should she have consented to a meeting.

Quite frankly I think most people on here are blaming myspace and internet blogs simply because there is nothing else to blame. Cant blame the guy because no-one knows who or where he is. Can't blame Judy for obvious reasons.

As I said, wake up.

[Concerned parent and teacher]

I agree with those who said that Myspace is not to blame. I would never say she deserved what happened to her, but this child (yes - 14 is still a CHILD!) didn't exercise common sense. I think the real question that needs to be asked is why a CHILD would be posting such sexually explicit information about herself on the Internet, lying about her age, etc. My mother used to tell me "don't put the sign up if you don't want the business." This girl was promoting herself as a sexual plaything for me. Look at the survey she filled out about her sex life!? It's sad that young girls in our society exercise their self-worth by seeing how many guys can want to sleep with them. Unfortunately, it seems, in this instance, Judy picked the wrong one.

[Heather]

That is a very horrible thing that happened and I am sorry for the family that lost her. I don't want this to sound like I am blaming the parents but I agree with the other people on this one. How is it myspaces fault? Parents should not let their kids on myspace if they dont want things like this to happen. I am a kid. I am 15 and I do have a myspace but i have no personal information on it for that particular reason. I have been instant messaged asking me if I wanted to hook up with guys and I have blocked them and took out any personal information that could lead to anything further. Nothing has happened to me yet and I am still debating whether or not I want a myspace. Another question is...Can these murderers/sex offenders get into our personal information by hacking and getting into when we registered for myspace? I dont know but somethings not right!
Email me if you would like to talk about it-xoxineedyouxox@yahoo.com

[sammiejo14]

hey i am a 14 yr old girl and i also have a myspace accont...and like many others said it is not myspace's fault it is the ppl that have them and they make their owns actions...if that girl did not want to go and meet this person she did not have to like i said she did it on her own... if she would of not did it she would still be alive today...it is very sad that there are ppl out there that do these kinds of things to little kids..of all ages..they need to stop their sickness..they r the most nasty ppl there is...cant stand ppl that think they can do things like this to childern and most of the time get away with it all...so once and agian dont blame my space and my mom knos i have a myspace b/c she is on my list soo..my mom knos what i am doin and i dont go and meet strange old men or whatever the only ppl i have from school and my old school...so dont blame myspace for ppl making their own mistakes...

[Caitlyn Corpse]

What the fuck? Obviously that girl was advertising herself for something of that type to happen...

But I think he forgot the movie...

It's her parents' fault. In my opinion, once a kid is 16, he/she is responsible for what happens to him/her in situations involving the internet, and most anything for that matter. But she was 14, and therefore her parents should have let her know damn well what her page was saying to the world.

That page is the type of thing guys like that look for.

Call me an insensitive asshole, but that girl was stupid and here are the consequences.

[Michelle]

I am 31, have many different accounts for various personal and business reasons. My son is 7 and not internet friendly at this time, but when he does get that way, you can be damn sure I will install a keylogging program on my computer so I can see his every move. Do a search for keylogging software. Usually keyloggin programs are looked at as bad because most people who use them are hackers or someone who wants to install a virus in your system. However, if you are computer savvy (and if you have kids, it is a MUST that you are!) then check into those types of programs. Some often send screen shots of the activity and it is sent right to your email without anyone knowing.

Mostly I want to say is, parents, don't give in to your kids becuz you want to be the good parent and a cool mom or dad. That is not your job, your job is to take care of them and protect them. If that means you are hated, made fun of or treated like a drill seargent, so be it. When your children are grown up, safe and smart and make a decient life for themselves, believe it or not, they will thank you for being so protective. If you cannot be this type of parent, then you should not have children and I honestly believe that the world has turned to crap becuz parents are having kids and not wanting 110% of the responsibility. Someone has to teach and take care of them, so take initiative and do it!

[Mr. Bizz]

Thats very sad and I feel bad for that girl. Im 34 and I use myspace to keep in touch with friends and to make new ones. Myspace should be called Mystalk. I do browse profiles for like minded ppl such as myself. I come across alot of profiles of girls that do lie about their age, and I notice the girls that are 18 and under show more skin than playboy magazine. These girls leave themselves open for shit like this. The stuff they put in the headlines, or even the picture captions they write. Myspace should be aware of what really goes on. They should do profile searches and see the pics these girls post or write in their blogs. There are alot of ppl to blame for this. Im sorry to say but I blame the parents, and I blame myspace. As for the girl, I feel bad. Cant blame her cause she already paid for it the hard way. As to most of you girls on myspace that lie about your age and post half naked pics, your pretty much asking for it.

[anissa]

Well, I am a 15 year old with a myspace account. However,my parents taught me a lot about what is RIGHT and what is NOT RIGHT, especially when it comes to the internet and safety. My parents, having taught me the right thing, have no need to snoop. Why? Because I use my brain. I don't meet people that I don't know, I don't accept people as friends on myspace that I don't know, I don't post my phone number or any other information. The only information that I have is my first name, town, and school.
My point is, parents shouldn't feel the need to snoop on their kids because, had they taught their children the importance of internet safety, their kids would not be doing anything wrong. In the case of Judy, there was obviously not a strong parental figure teaching the importance of this. And that, I believe, is the tragedy.

[cm]

blogs and the web do not kill people. look at the headline on her myspace account...."Can i be your dinner while we wacth a movie"
of course this is going to attract jerks like the one who may have killed her. sites like hers are what's dangerous, not innocent blogs and sites.

[WG]

Too funny, not the death of this girl - but the ranting by the teens about, "don't blame myspace.". Afraid that it will become 18+? I hope it does. Seeing all these young girls prostituting themselves on this site - no wonder blokes cruise the site looking for prey.

Sorry for the loss of this life, but really kids - Look at the big picture, talk to your parents, learn from this tragedy, and get smart!

[osh]

i am 17 years old and i do have MYSPACE account. i have cousins and lots of friends that have MYSPACE accounts too.

i know the consequences with this thing. in todays world, we need to be aware of what is right and what is wrong.

anyway, see what it takes you when you easily trust someone without knowing him personally? the girl is just 14 years old, just started to enter her teenage life.. she did not even enjoyed her life for a long time.. a very sad story.. anyway, whosoever that fucking guy is, KARMA awaits him.. he took the girl's life, he's life needs to be taken too.. he needs to pay back and suffer from what he had done. let's pray for judy cajuste's soul.. in God's will everything will be fine.

[jimmy]

As seems to be the consensus, Myspace is neither innocent nor guilty. Blaming myspace would be akin to blaming a axe for killing someone. Axes are inanimate objects and as such it would be absurd to blame the axe. like myspace, Axes are useful tools but in the wrong hands they can become dangerous. Myspace should have tougher regulations however. Driving licence serial numbers as proof of age for instance. Or even a prevention of strangers contacting one another.

an 18 + law would be the same mistake our society has made time after time. Hiding children from the percieved threat rather than educating them about a messed up adult world that they will eventually have to confront. In being ostracised from a truly global community such as myspace kids will turn to less reputable arenas, the clandestine corners of the internet that tend to be inhabited by the type of person who can kill a small girl for pleasure.

And it is a person. not an annimal but a sick sick person who did this. rather than demonising this (man) perhaps it is time to see that this depraved crime is symptomatic of our society. In the body of society this person is a cancer we need to treat. We need to learn from (him) how did he come to do something so terrible and most importantly how can we stop someone else doing this kind of thing again?

Children are small versions of adults, we forget that and treat them like angels forgetting that we made them flawed as we are. Sex drugs booze and even deviants are things they will all encounter far earlier than we would like but would you not rather talk to them about these rather than let the freindly man on the web?

But 15 or 14 this girl was a child. Those of you who call her a tease should be ashamed. Those of you who say it is her fault are insane. Are you seriously implying that she deserved to be murdered, that the killer was an innocent bystander? Her parents probably should have done more, talked to their girl, more importantly, listened to their girl. But so should we all.

With a society that uses sex to market the music, clothes and media of this generation her coquettish remark is unsurprising; symptomatic of a youth that is taught to be adult before they are responsible enough to deal with the horrors of adulthood.

While the adult population fetishises youth the youth lose their childhood.

And in the meantime you spy on your children rather than talk to them.

I had no intention on writing a book on this issue when i started. But there you go, I compete with the despotic parents and the "becuzer's" as though anyone gave a damn. But i digress, she is dead, it could have been prevented and that is what matters.
