Sick pages on FB
IT is sickening to see the types of pages being created on Facebook by local people.
There are pages with confessions of local people. There is a confession by a 17-year-old who says she gets drunk occasionally and is now considering having a sexual encounter with a stranger.
There is another page which has published (on the wall) nude photos of girls in bathrooms and photos of girls and boys while they are having sex. First and foremost, that is porn.
Secondly, why are young people resorting to such levels. Thirdly, contents of your sexual life should remain private and within the four walls of your room.
Finally, who are the people supplying these pages with such crude images?
Someone's sons and daughters are having their lives mocked on the very public walls of Facebook. The power of social media should be used to benefit us (very quick and easy to pass messages and debate issues).
But some are abusing the power of such social media. I plead with the authorities to look into this matter as soon as they can.
And the administrators of these pages should be taken to task.
