A mother has been charged with harassment after she allegedly accessed her 16-year-old son’s Facebook account and posting messages.
The mother, Denise New of Arkadelphia, was hit with the misdemeanour charge 26 March, after her son, Lane, filed a complaint with the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office. According to reports, the younger New accused his mom of hacking into his Facebook account, changing his email and Facebook passwords and posting slanderous Facebook messages about his private life.
“The things he was posting in Facebook would make any decent parent’s eyes pop out and his jaw drop,” she said. “He had been warned before about things he had been posting.”
While authorities would not describe the Facebook posts the mother is accused of making, the prosecutor’s office explicitly linked the charge to the posts’ content.
“The misdemeanour charge in this case is based solely on allegations about the content of certain statements by the accused,” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. “The fact that the accused allegedly made these statements on a social network computer site does not affect the nature of the charge and is not relevant to the charge.”
New faces a hearing on the charge 12 May.
