facebook cry for help

The 10 and 12-year-old girls updated a Facebook status to say they were lost in an Adelaide drain, and a young friend called for help on their behalf.

Glenn Benham from the Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) says it is concerning the girls raised the alert on the social networking site instead of calling 000.

from here.

Concerning? Maybe. Surprising? No.

To them it was probably just like calling mum or a friend for help. They knew their friends would be online. They expected them to respond.

And what a great status update! Would have been a shame to have not used it.
