There have been instances of Facebook being misused by people like a woman posting in Facebook while her child lay dying,students’ posting class teachers’ photos with his phone number soliciting sexual favors,posting intimate details leading to divorce.
There are security issues as well in Facebook .
But this an instance where Facebook has served the society.
As I have posted in my blogs earlier, technology is as good as the people who use it.
May the tribe of good people use Facebook increase.

Phoenix: Two Arizona parents were arrested by sheriff’s deputies after apparently posting pictures on Facebook that showed their children, an infant and a toddler, bound with duct tape, authorities said on Thursday.
Coconino County deputies arrested Frankie Almuina, 20, and Kayla Almuina, 19, on suspicion of two counts of child abuse on Wednesday at their northern Arizona home after being alerted to the photos by an anonymous tip.
The children, a 2-year-old toddler and a 10-month-old infant, were seen online bound with duct tape on their wrists and ankles with their mouths taped shut, Commander Rex Gilliland told Reuters. One of the children was shown hanging upside down on an exercise machine.
The parents told investigators that the photos, posted on the mother’s Facebook account, were a joke and that the children were not harmed, Gilliland said.
“It’s clear in our minds that these children were placed in a very extreme situation,” Gilliland said. “By the look on their faces, they were in sheer terror. I don’t know how this could have been a joke.”
Authorities were called to the scene after a person who likely knew the couple saw the postings and called the Arizona Child Abuse Hotline, Gilliland said. The caller knew the names of the parents and where they lived.
