Students from two Brisbane schools have been suspended over separate highly offensive Facebook pages in the past week, with police investigating at least one of the students.
Twenty students from Springwood State High School, Brisbane have been suspended for bullying a school staff on Facebook.
Southeast regional director Glen Hoppner calls on parents to help schools crack down on inappropriate post on social networking sites.
“Schools work closely with parents to address these issues when they arise, and to help ensure the schools’ messages about inappropriate internet content are reinforced at home,” said Mr. Hoppner according to Sydney Morning Herald.
A year 12 student of Marist College Ashgrove was also suspended last week for setting up a Facebook group titled “If 1,000,000 people join, I’ll give back Daniel Morcombe.”
He is now said to being assisting in efforts to remove the site which apparently have no administrator.
Daniel Morcombe, was abducted from the Sunshine Coast in December 7, 2003. He was 13 when he was abducted and is still missing.
There are also many legit Facebook pages/groups dedicated to finding Daniel Morcombe, one of which called “1 000 000 people in the search for Daniel Morcombe” has around 43,000 members.
