We say be careful what you share on social media [1], and here's another reason why. Virginia mother Alexis Breeden has been arrested after a photo of her 14-month-old son hanging from a hook [2] appeared on Facebook. According to reports, the post was an act of revenge from the child's father, who wanted to get Breeden in trouble after a fight.
And he succeeded. Several people posted the photo on the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office Facebook page to inform them of the potential child abuse. The sheriff's office issued a felony warrant for Breeden's arrest, which prompted the 18-year-old to turn herself in. Breeden is now facing a felony child abuse charge, adding to a lengthy record that includes an assault and battery charge against her mother. As for the child, he is currently in the custody of a family member.
