Facebook refuse to release boy’s files to grieving mother

Elaine Hughes made the plea after gardaí told Dublin coroner Brian Farrell that attempts to retrieve messages sent to her 17-year-old son Darren Hughes-Gibson on the social networking site have failed because Facebook are not co-operating.
“I would appeal to Facebook to please show some compassion. He was a 17-year-old child whose life was lost through no fault of Facebook, but to the bullies who put those messages up there,” said Ms Hughes outside court.
