It was very distressing for her as it tooka about two hours to go throughout her school. She is being ridiculed and insulted over this picture. (someone's body with her head on it - not sexual - drug related with innuendo captions to an eating disorder). All her friends reported the photo. They removed it from his Wall, but left the photo and all the comments in his photo file. I reported every which way I could, though there is no direct way to do this as you say. Eventually I found an email address re. abuse, emailed about six times finally got a reply 2 days ago saying they were going to deal with it immediately. So far - nothing. Meanwhile this has totally destroyed my daughter, she won't go out, won't go to school. I don't think Facebook are being held responsible for the things that are happening and how their website can affect peoples lives. This is serious stuff and there is no way to make them accountable. I am thinking next step police or a lawyer because we live in a small town and this picture is everywhere and i've no idea how to deal with this and facebook are no help at all. I believe there should be rules and timelines in place for abuse and it should be a lot easier to report. I am computer savy, what if I weren't? No way would I have found an email - so what - I would just have to live with it - or rather my daughter would? Four days ago an abusive picture of my daughter was put on someone's website.

I'd already blogged about the Facebook CEOP button issue, and have added this helpful analysis of Facebook reporting procedures to the blogpost at http://blog.emoderation.com/2010/03/why-ceop-panic-button-may-not-be-right.html. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your screengrabs (credited)? Hi Peter
