This is both funny and scary at the same time. A British teen accidentally created a public event for her private birthday party and posted it to Facebook (including her home address and contact info). Within a few days over 20,000 people responded (and now know the girl's address and contact info).

Parents, know what your kids are doing on Facebook. Kids make bad choices sometimes (intentionally or not) and Facebook does nothing to protect their privacy. It's definitely a dangerous place for kids.
Wow, that is not cool. Every once in a while, I go in and check the privacy settings for my son on facebook and use the time to show him how to check them himself. Kids need to be taught this stuff, Facebook doesn't do it for you!
