What neighborhood is that. Please do tell. Those are strong accusations you are making. Back them up.

Facebook policy is that you have to be 13 years old and up to have a FB page. He's 12, below FB limits. It's really the parents responsibility to keep him off Facebook until he is 13.

What does this have to do with the government? Facebook is a private company.

Time for a wake up. Facebook does not have to defend nor offer a forum for free speech, no service does. If you want free speech then exercise your rights to it and do so in public. Facebook is not the public, it is a for profit company and so is Twitter and so is City Data.
