Facebook has managed to attract over 400 million users over the years and the world?s largest social networking site seems to be popular among all generations. Nothing demonstrates this better than the bizarre story that made headlines this week of a 16 year old boy who decided to sue his own mother, for allegedly breaking in to his Facebook account and posting dubious messages and status updates on his wall. According the charges officially brought up against Denise New, the 16 year old boy?s mother accessed her son?s Facebook account, read confidential messages, posted slanderous comments to the site and then changed the real user?s password, in order to ensure that he can no longer use the popular social networking tool. Mrs. New believes that her actions are entirely in line with what anyone could expect of a dutiful, responsible mother, who simply wants to look out for her son.</p> <p>But Arkansas state prosecutors seem to agree that Mrs. New has victimized her own teenaged son. As such, authorities decided to charge the 42 year old mother with harassment. Mrs. New, however, maintains that she first became concerned with her son?s safety and seemingly reckless habits, after he admitted to driving at 95 miles per hour, following a heated exchange with his girlfriend. Mrs. New believes that if it is socially acceptable for mothers to rummage through their son?s bedroom, in order to uncover signs of harmful activities, then this right extends to Facebook and other online interactions as well. The 16 year old boy has since moved in with his grandparents?who now have custody?and has presumably managed to reconnect with his Facebook friends.
