Shocking! 16-Year-Old Takes Mother to Court for Posting Photos of Him on Facebook

Shocking as a 16 year-Old Italian boy took his mother to court for constantly posting photos of him on Facebook without his consent. The boy claimed that his mother’s actions had such a serious impact on his social life that he was considering transferring to a high-school in the United States so he could “start over”.

 According to reports, the court made a historical decision, ruling in favor of the teen, and ordering the mother to delete all references of him from her social media account by February 1, 2018, or risk a fine of €10,000 ($12,270).

According to reports, the 16-year-old and his mother have been in an open conflict since she and his father got divorced. After the separation, the mother allegedly started posting photos and details of her son’s personal life “almost compulsively”, going as far as referring to him as a “mental patient” and comparing him to a “killer”.

 The Italian judge that requested that the teenager be transferred to a school in the US, in order for him to “stay away from the current social context, in which all of his fellow high-school students are aware of his personal details, made known by his mother with constant and systematic use of social networks”.

The mother has been ordered to stop posting “updates, photos or videos” of her 16 year-old son and to delete all data on him from her social media accounts. Failure to comply with the judge’s ruling will result in a €10,000 euro fine.
