It depends on what the comments were. If they were false and slanderous, you can sue whomever posted them. If it was the child, you cannot necessarily sue his/her parents.

Nope. You are part of the generation that wants to put all their personal lives on the web which is forever isn't it parents are not liable for the torts of their children. And if you were to get a judgment against a child at great expense what are the chances you would ever realize a dime on it?
