MySpace users may not always show the best judgement when sharing information on the site, but divulging that information is not a license to commit a crime.
I don't think we're blaming the victims and excusing the criminals. Rather, we're blaming the lack of judgement that contributes to becoming a victim.

We know there are burglars out there, so we put deadbolt locks on our doors and install alarm systems. We know there are muggers out there, so we watch where we go, especially at night.

Parents also have to watch their children's behavior to protect them from becoming victims, as much as possible. Not paying attention to what kids are doing online is being a negligent parent.
