How would you feel if this was your teen? I would go ballistic, then probably wonder where the hell we went wrong. I just hope he doesn't go unpunished and, imo, he should be sent to the Morcombes home for a day.

What is truly despicable is that it was left to Daniel's mum to track the boy the down!
I despair if websites are unable to police themselves effectively but realistically, I know they can't!
What hope for the future?

St.Georges Girl

I wonder whether the boy knows something. Why would he do this out of the blue? Sick little ******.

So so wrong. What a horrible boy. Facebook certainly attracts some nutters, there's a group dedicated to the little girl Trinity who was murdered in Bundaberg and some of the comments people have left are truly vile. Facebook needs to monitor the groups more closely I think.

Little bastard should be charged with extortion.

I hear castration in some countries is still legal punishment.

Disgusting behaviour and I'd be horrified if it was my son doing something like that.

why cant FB be moderated and have a ten min delay?

herrchook

In an ideal world Soapy, I agree. But in reality, due to the massive membership, they'd have to employ an army of mods and the cost would more than likely be passed on to members. Most people seem to agree they wouldn't pay for Facebook. Shame really, I'd happily pay a small amount to get rid of the crap.

There are some disgusting people out there, who are total cowards. They are annonymous,so know they can get away with this crap. My only hope is that one day something truly terrible happens to them, and they recieve the same treatment they dish out to others. My heart goes out to Trinitys family

From somebody who was once one, I can vouch for the fact that teenage boys have strange minds. I doubt he thought it was cruel or disgusting or sickening... just a 'laugh'.

St.Georges Girl

You are probably right, but he must know right from wrong and what he did was just so plainly wrong. The reason I believe he should spend a day in the Morcombes home is, so he can at least see and maybe feel their sense of loss and their hope that one day Daniel will be found, be it dead or alive, so they can have closure. I just hope this lad doesn't have siblings, because that makes what he did much worse imo.

PS. All males have 'strange' minds.

people would moderate areas for free. people love power

This Brisbane school boys needs a good kick in the pants. The parents of this boy are in enough agony, perhaps we do need some moderation on Facebook.

we do. i think there was one a few weeks ago of someone who heard their brother died in a crash. it was posted on facebook before anyone could let them know.
i dont know how you stop things like that happening, but facebook should have people working hard to find a way
