Police Settle Facebook Feud Between Warring Exes
GRASS VALLEY, Calif. (AP) -- A Northern California police department has demonstrated its 21st-century mediating skills by helping resolve a domestic dispute that unfolded on the world's largest social networking website.
The Grass Valley Union reports that Nevada County police received a call Monday afternoon from a Grass Valley woman who complained that her ex-boyfriend had posted photos of her on Facebook that he refused to take down. When contacted by authorities, the man said he had removed the pictures.
Two hours later, the ex-boyfriend called the police to report that the woman had posted nude photos of him on her Facebook page in apparent retaliation.
Officers counseled both individuals and convinced the woman to delete the revealing images.
