1- According to CBS News, a Florida mother faced legal trouble after she posted a Facebook photo of her infant appearing to smoke out of a bong. The Florida Department of Children and Families launched an investigation and planned to drug test both the mother and child, despite the mother’s protests that the photo was taken as a joke. The photo was sent to a local news station, which contacted the mother for a statement. “If u look at the picture u can see that there is no bowl in the TABACCO (sic) pipe,” she wrote  in a Facebook message to the news station. “And i took a pic to show one (expletive) person and it was a mistake. I would never ever ever let him get high.”

2- On May 14, construction workers found the body of Genesis Sims, 9, in the crawl space of a vacant Colorado home. Police used a Facebook message  to track down and arrest the girl’s father, Hanif Sims, and his girlfriend, Monique Lynch, in El Paso county. In the Facebook message, a couple identifying themselves as Hanif and Monique say “they found Genesis unconscious in the bathroom and hid her body after having a ceremony with prayers and flowers” and that “they wanted to give their side of the story before turning themselves in,” AP reports.

3- Bahamian authorities apprehended an American couple over a series of Facebook photos detailing the capture, cooking, and consumption of a rare iguana. Metro.co.uk  reported that the photos showed the couple “catching an iguana, parts of an iguana on a grill, two men eating the iguana pieces, and a man and a woman cleaning what appears to be undersized conch.” Police tracked the couple down and arrested them for violating the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

4- Denise New of Arkansas was convicted of misdemeanor harassment for “hijacking” her son’s Facebook page  and making posts of her own. The two quarreled, and New locked her son out of the house and “mistakenly” made several posts to the boy’s account, including the following: “The only mistake I ever made was having a kid.” New told a judge that she had meant to post to her own account, but that her son had forgotten to log out. AP reports that New also changed her son’s Facebook password and made profanity-laden posts using his account. A judge ordered her to complete classes for parenting and anger-management. New will also pay a fine of $435.
