Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts
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.

A no contact order against your mom? How exactly is that supposed to work?
Either the kid's worthless, or the mom is, or both. In any case, who gives a crap about this trash?
...is the wording of Arkansas's "harassment" offense law: "A person commits the offense if with purpose to harass, annoy or alarm another person without good cause, he engages in conduct or repeatedly commits acts that alarm or seriously annoy another person." (from the article)
It's unnerving to think that it's possible to take legal action against someone for such a vaguely defined offense. Think back to your childhood--or high school even, or college: how often did you "annoy or alarm another person without good cause"? Cripes sake, who hasn't? Suddenly this enormous, near-universal category of human interaction, namely anything that annoys or frightens one person "for no good reason," is legally actionable. Terrifying.

Punctuation ?
No.
The instant facebook is mentioned you simply assume its retarded. Its a big graffiti wall that people post crap to, then get pissed off because someone they didn't want saw it or someone said something mean about them.
Any news story relating to facebook that doesn't involve its last servers being turned off or some sort of airplane flying into all of their datacenters at one time is worthless and should be written off as something 'another one of those facebook/twitter/attentionwhores is being an idiot again'.
Thats where it should end. I don't really care what happened here, everyone involved is an idiot, possibly including the reporter who reported it. I can safely make that assumption without reading the story because its true for every story about facebook/twitter. Prove me wrong if you think you can, but I'm not going to sit around and wait for something to happen you can use as a reference.

Congratulations on doing exactly what you chastised the poster for; making an assertion and then providing no proof.
Bravo on being modded insightful for such obvious hypocrisy.

A) I was trained in law by lawyers in employment law and also took college classes in law as part of my job so it is relevant.
B) His lawyer who filed the case for him is the retard here as passing a bar exam and not knowing the difference between slander and libel means the lawyer cheated to pass the bar exam. Hiring a retarded lawyer makes one equally retarded.
C) Not having custodial rights is irrelevant if you bothered to read the law. As his mother even if she does not have custodial rights still has some rights. But since you ignore the US Constitution you think she has no rights, freedoms, or liberties at all, right? If that is her son in any way, she still has to check on him or neglect charges will be filed on her by family services even if she doesn't have custodial rights.

Do you troll here often?
I'll be here all week. Try the fish.
You have your 16 year old nephew over at your house to stay in a spare bedroom.
You do not have custodial rights your brother and sister-in-law do.
Your nephew gets on your computer surfs kiddie porn and then trolls and harasses a girl at school who won't go out with him until she does a suicide.
By your retarded argument because you don't have custodial rights, ain't nothing the Police or FBI can do to you. But in that you are not only wrong but a retard.
Even if an adult, parent, guardian, friend, or family member who is an adult or babysitter does not monitor the teenager or child and the teenager or child gets into trouble then that adult is responsible for what the teenager or child did. So if she didn't monitor him, the police and family services would file neglect charges against her plus whatever he did on the Internet she would be responsible for as well.
My areas of law or practice areas I studied in college and the law firm:
Civil Rights
Employment Law
Business Law
Tax Law
Constitutional Law
Slander/Libel Law
Family and Divorce Law
Now if I didn't get sick, I would have passed law school and then my bar exam and became a lawyer for that law firm and sooner or later I'd be a partner in their firm. Even if I didn't, I still have my legal education and experience. So what have you got you armchair lawyer?
