Teen accuses mom of Facebook slander

Baack · Apr 7, 2010

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. - The mother of a 16-year-old boy said she shut him out of his Facebook account after reading he had driven home at 95 mph one night because he was mad at a girl. His response: a harassment complaint at the local courthouse.
"If I'm found guilty on this it is going to be open season" on parents, Denise New, the mother, said Wednesday.

New, of Arkadelphia, Ark., said many of her son's postings didn't reflect well on him, so after he failed to log off the social networking site one day last month, she posted her own items on his account and changed his password to keep him from using it again.
"The things he was posting in Facebook would make any decent parent's eyes pop out and his jaw drop," Denise New said. "He had been warned before about things he had been posting." Lane New, who lives with his grandmother, filed a complaint with prosecutors who approved a harassment charge March 26. His mother said she was doing what any good parent would do.
"Just because I don't have custody doesn't mean I don't care about him," Denise New said. Neither New would say Wednesday which items on his Facebook site the boy had found slanderous.

The sad part is she is right,parents are loosing more and more control over what they can restrict their kids from on the internet.

The bleeding hearts have taken control from parents...and many "parents" don't want to parent but need to be "friends" with their minions!
