GrimAndHumourless Sat 03-Nov-12 23:00:53

PinkSoccerMum Sat 03-Nov-12 23:05:09

I am already following his story

ethelb Sat 03-Nov-12 23:05:41

Why?

rhondajean Sat 03-Nov-12 23:06:47

It's safe. It's a little boy with meningococcal septicaemia.

threesocksfortheguy Sat 03-Nov-12 23:06:58

I clicked
I do not know why you are sharing
I have reported

GrimAndHumourless Sat 03-Nov-12 23:07:25

Link isn't working on my iPad, what's it all about?

rhondajean Sat 03-Nov-12 23:09:46

I don't Facebook so I can't add support but ill stop and think of him at 12 tomorrow as requested.

MonthlyFullMoon Sat 03-Nov-12 23:09:53

Why link to a familys page??? they probably do not the whole world to be reading their updates destined for friends and family. Bit voyeuristic

ChippingInLovesAutumn Sat 03-Nov-12 23:10:14

Threesocks - why have you reported?

GrimAndHumourless Sat 03-Nov-12 23:10:25

yes I agree MFM

lia66 Sat 03-Nov-12 23:10:33

I am confused. I clicked, seems to be a very poorly little boy. Why have you reported threesocks ?

lionheart Sat 03-Nov-12 23:11:32

Op is just asking for support for a little boy and his family, nothing untoward.

Wow some of you are in a miserable mood! The child's illness has been reported in the press too here. The point of facebook pages is for them to be shared.

GrimAndHumourless Sat 03-Nov-12 23:21:43

Northern thank you for that link, which explains well

Why do some of you have to be so horrible?

whiteandyelloworchid Sat 03-Nov-12 23:26:28

scottishmummy Sat 03-Nov-12 23:27:32

this is true and sad it's reported in press
the wee boy is v ill,it's changing fluid situation
hope his family get support and get through this

scottishmummy Sat 03-Nov-12 23:36:55

in fairness,I do think family are ok with sharing,and people knowing
this is a widely reported story in the press and fb
they're asking people think of,and pray if wish,at 12 tomorrow

Maybe it helps the parents to see how many people are interested and are willing the little lad to better health. Reported it? Whatever for? Members on MN have linked to FB when their little ones are in the middle of a life threatening crisis. That someone has 'liked' a face book page may bring the parents great comfort, and writing a kind of blog on the page is probably really helpfully for them, writing everything down. At a loss to see why that makes you unreasonable. If you know the lad OP, I hope he gets better real soon; and if his Mum is a Mner, be strong x
