Are there times when you wished that you did not have a Facebook account? Well, read on and perhaps you will find the victim of the perpetrator here sharing a similar wish. A jealous man apparently forgot all about common decency, manners and being a gentleman as he beat up his ex-girlfriend. The reason for doing so? She did not want to furnish him with her Facebook account password. Thankfully, 22-year old Cy Whitham has been sent to the slammer for his action, and also given a ban from contacting his ex-girlfriend, Carla Livermore, after an assault on her last October.
Apparently, Whitham was arrested after hi ex-girlfriend reported of his assault on her to the authorities, and he wrote on Facebook “Look likes it bk [sic] to jail for me”. Whitham owned up to the assault as well as having breached a restraining order, and was sentenced to another 8 months of jail.
This is one of the more disturbing stories that involve social networking as well as real life users actually hurting or causing harm to another human being. Not exactly the brightest start to the week, but come on dude, she’s already your ex-girlfriend – there is no need to stalk her on Facebook? Who in their right mind would give up their Facebook account password anyways to a crazed person?
