I usually post in PE but needed more coverage on this one. My difficult child is currently in jail. He was dating someone he called his fiancee when he was arrested. Turns out he is taking the brunt of charges for what is mostly her crime of theft. She told him she was pregnant possibly so he would cover for her and once he was in prison told him she miscarried. That is the background.
Since he was incarcerated a month ago she has taken over his Facebook page and has been posting as him and friending unsuspecting family members. I only just found out about it when she fessed up after I had pmed him. My sister told me that he was still posting and that maybe I could communicate with him through FB. i had my suspicions because I didn't thing prisoners had access to public websites. Anyway, the woman read the message telling difficult child to get in touch with me and then contacted me admitting that she was not him She gave me a very lame excuse for her actions.
From what I know of her she is both a thief and a liar and I am slightly concerned that she is stalking me. It could just be a perverse curiosity on her part. It could also be to track when I am not home so she can break in here.
Some of my family are not on FB often and have not responded to my request to unfriend difficult child because it isn't him using the account at present. Other's just don't seem to care. I am afraid that she will see some inocent post that someone makes and my safety could be compromised.
Should I report this FB abuse and have her shut down? My BFF says I should just leave it alone so I can track her "keep your enemies close" so to speak. I just find the whole thing creepy but admit that my difficult child might have given her permission. Even so it is against FB policy for her to be doing this. They want a reason for the report and I prepared the following:
"This is my son's account he is unable to update it or post due to being away at the present time. The person posting and monitering his account as him is someone he was in a relationship with when he went away. Her name is XXXXX although she is using his last name on her own profile which is under XXXXX even though she is not married to my son. She is not a person I know and I feel the privacy of the family is being compromised by her actions."
What do you think? -RM
