LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A teenager who advertised babysitting services over the Internet and was believed to have "conversed" with scores of parents has been jailed on charges of sexually abusing two boys of a Los Angeles-area client, police said on Tuesday.

Jordan Liu, 19, was arrested after one of the boys told his mother about being molested during a discussion she was having with her him about the Penn State University sex abuse scandal, police in suburban Glendale said.

Are you people that *expletive deleted*ing stoopid!? Really!?

Dry goods and clothes are relatively safe to purchase online. But babysitters?

Did you even bother to check references? Are you *expletive deleted*ing kidding me?

Oh, wait, it is California....what was I thinking.....using common sense and all..........never mind.

So you are telling me that a recommendation on Craigslist is not the same as one on Angie's List?

How's a body supposed to keep up with this stuff? :facepalm:

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Bingo, baby!

'Course, a 19 y/o boy advertising for babysitting jobs online raised no eyebrows?

In the minds of many people a 19-year-old is a "kid" and thus unthreatening. And don't a lot of American 'teenagers' (albeit of a younger age and girls) hold down babysitting side-jobs?

Usually they are females.

Maybe they don't know if "he" is a "she"?
