There has been a flurry of vile hate groups on Facebook with titles such as 'Down Syndrome - is there no end to these monster children' and Keep Down syndrome away from society etc. The people posting say vile things such as f*@$ing babies with Down syndrome, killing them, locking them up in cages and so on. Pathetic but also horrid, wrong and damaging.
There has been a group set up that are all working together to constantly report the groups, fake profiles, comments, events, pictures etc. Facebook are being very slow, too slow in reacting to the complaints.
The more people joining this group to work towards asking Facebook to remove hate groups and the posters and the comments etc the better.
Would you consider joining this group and if you can clicking on the link in the box on the left and reporting the latest vile group.
The petition group has so far shut down 7, or 8 of these hate groups. The more members and the more people reporting the more serious Facebook will have to take us and hopefully act faster in removing them.
If just one person sees these sites and believes some of the crap posted up....well... it's damaging to say the least. And people think it's ok to discuss killing, shooting, raping people with DS. These comments have the danger of becoming attitudes that people can take out in to the real world with them.
Anyway, thanks for reading and if you do join and you do report I for one would be so appreciative.
