Even to see the name of her album, her settings are not as high as they could be.

If a friend of mine is tagged in someone else's album, I can only see the photo they are tagged in and who posted it. I cannot see the album name unless I am also friends with the person who posted it.

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 09:53

I took that to be just inane ramblings myself, although if she does have an album called My Eye then it could be a problem.

It can stay for now maryz its too hot to be thinking of names!

RabidAnchovy · 28/05/2012 09:58

Head teacher was not a happy bunny as I pointed out the photo had DS1 in school uniform and so people would know what school the boy was at, also I told him that a couple of friends who had seen it commented "is this how the learn to speak at

I have just messaged MIL from DS1s account (I have his log in and I check his face book every day as I like to know what MY child is doing) I have told her to check her settings and make them friends only.

I am now going to pick up my mum and go out for the day, thank you all and I will keep you updated,

I have told DS1 to give that boy a wide birth, as despite over 6 foot and not exactly little I do not want DS1 rucking with anyone, this is exam time and the last thing I need is him being in the brown stuff

Yeah, it does sound like it could be inane rambling, especially in the context! But worth double-checking on MIL's part.

Heyyyho · 28/05/2012 10:21

Would your MIL need some help how to do it? She is elderly and may need some support. Poor woman.

2rebecca · 28/05/2012 10:49

You sound a bit overprotective. Must admit if one of my teenagers friends said something rude about them on facebook I'd keep out of it and think MIL shouldn't have got involved in the first place. That's the sort of thing you might post on a 7 year old's wall but not a 15 year old. My teenagers rapidly defriend older interfering relatives.
His response was horrid and bizarrely OTT though so I think reporting it to the police was fair enough as it was threatening. Not sure how involved schools get in facebook spats unless the post concerns the school.

LowFlyingBirds · 28/05/2012 10:53

Howdoes op sound "overprotective"?

MushroomSoup · 28/05/2012 11:06

2rebecca yes, God forbid a grown woman should chide a school boy for making a comment she disapproved of! What is the world coming to, when adults think they have the right to chastise a teenager?!

I have to admit that when I pass teenagers effing and blinding in the local park/street/cinema I tell them to mind their language. The response is usually 'sorry missus' NOT 'shut up you old bag I'll put my dick in your arse and fuck you til you love me'.

Holidaymaker · 28/05/2012 11:10

2rebecca How is objecting to a little shit posting threats to her elderly mil being overprotective exactly?

Just curious.

Interesting that the police have described it as "inappropriate".

lalaland3008 · 28/05/2012 11:11

Not hysterical at all, vile little shit.

I would, sort out your mils privacy settings.
Do a screenshot so it's cannot be deleted.
Go to the police, the school and the boys mother.

That is disgusting and made me feel quite sick.

FeministPixie · 28/05/2012 11:25

Threats of rape are VILE against ANY WOMAN, full fucking stop.

roundtable · 28/05/2012 11:28

And that attitude is why some children think they can say what they like to whoever.

roundtable · 28/05/2012 11:30

Also, op has also stated how the school was affected. Her ds was pictured in school uniform.

TheSmallPrint · 28/05/2012 11:31

Wow, just shocking. My mum is of similar age and also uses FB just as a way of keeping in touch as she's not very mobile and this includes her teenage granchildren. If anyone wrote anything like that to her I'd would be fucking furious.

WhosPickleisThatOnion · 28/05/2012 11:35

I don't think the OP has overreacted in any way shape or form. I think she has actually kept pretty calm bearing in mind the post.

Of course the school should be notified, as this boy clearly has potential issues that may put other pupils in danger. Sometimes behaviour out of school is very relevant. How would OP feel if she hadn't and an incident happened at the school involving this boy?

Cant see where your coming from at all. 2rebecca

WestleyAndButtockUp · 28/05/2012 13:35

How do you take a screenshot?

LowFlyingBirds · 28/05/2012 13:39

Well thereare several posts advising on just that, Westley, here on this thread.
Alternatively there is Google.

threeleftfeet · 28/05/2012 13:53

WestleyAndButtockUp if you're on a PC, look for the button ont he top row which says "print screen". Hit this and then the screen has been copied. To see it you need to paste it somewhere. The program "Paint" for example will do. (You can find Paint under start > programs > accessories).

LowFlyingBirds I can't help myself procrastination alert! I have a really difficult exam tomorrow I'm just a helpful kind of person :)

hellymelociraptor · 28/05/2012 14:04

I haven't read the whole thread, just the first two pages. I was really upset by the post, I found it properly shocking and just horrible. My mother is much that age and I think she would be unbelievably upset if she read that. He is FIFTEEN? I think I would call the police.

LowFlyingBirds · 28/05/2012 14:15

ThreeLeftfeet - and we need as many kind and helpful people as we can get!
I just found it rude that someone would not comment on the actual op at all, but ask a related technical question, especially when the very question has been answered on thread but presumably westley didnt feel like reading?
And no Please.
But just as you cant help being kind and helpful, i cant help being a crotchety old bag!
