Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-your-family-status dept.

Most kids hate having their parents join in on a discussion on Facebook, but one 16-year-old in Arkansas hates it so much he has filed suit against his mother, charging her with harassment. From the article: "An Arkadelphia mother is charged with harassment for making entries on her son's Facebook page. Denise New's 16-year-old son filed charges against her last month and requested a no-contact order after he claims she posted slanderous entries about him on the social networking site. New says she was just trying to monitor what he was posting." Seems like he could just unfriend her.

    The real question I have is how someone from Arkadelphia learned to get on Facebook in the first place, much less two of them.

      It's not so much Arkansas as a state, but the ridiculously silly name that they gave to the city of Arkadelphia, the "city of brotherly boats."

      Yeah, and why is the son so Arkannoyed?

    so you're point is moot.

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    If he is emancipated from his mom, are they still considered brother and sister?
