Son Sues Mom Over Facebook 'Hacking'

Suing your parents isn't just for celebrities anymore--a 16-year-old Arkansas boy is suing his mother for hacking into his Facebook account and allegedly posting slanderous remarks.

Denise New of Arkadelphia is facing harassment charges from her 16-year-old. Her son, who lives with his grandmother, also requested a no-contact order. Prior to this issue, New and her son reportedly had a "great relationship," despite their living arrangements.

According to the boy, his mother hacked into his Facebook and email accounts, then changed both passwords. She also allegedly posted remarks that involved slander and information about his personal life...

New plans on fighting the charges, as she believes she was fully within her legal rights as a parent to monitor her son's online behavior.

I hardly think parent's rights extend to accessing your kids social media and email accounts and changing the password on them. If they are old enough to have such things, let them have them. The boy in question is 16, not 6.
The mom claims he left his accounts logged in on his PC...let this be a lesson to those of you that don't log out of your accounts.
