Internet Use Update: Improper Use of Facebook by Parent

In Matter of Melody M. v Robert M., the Court determined that an award of sole legal custody to the father was in the best interests of the child where the mother utilized Facebook to insult and demean the child, who was then 10 years old, by, among other things, calling him an "asshole."
