A Facebook conversation helped save the life of a UK
teenager who took a drugs overdose last week.
The teenager from Oxfordshire has made a full recovery after
police found him still conscious.
According to
a BBC report a girl in the US alerted authorities after
receiving a message, from the boy via Facebook, which suggested he
was going to harm himself.
The girl in the US did not know where the boy lived but her
mother called the police. Via a special agent in the White House
they were able to contact police in the boy's locality. They
narrowed the search down to eight houses and found the boy at the
fourth.
Last week Demi Moore
repordedly recieved a message via microblogging site Twitter
from a woman who suggested she was going to kill herself.
Moore reposted the message and as a result her followers called
the police in San Jose California who located the woman and took
her into custody for evaluation.
