Awful isn’t it? When we ran a website, my wife had pictures of her (and our eldest as a baby) taken and used to make a cloned Facebook account spouting loads of racism/etc. and generally taking the piss. Facebook wouldn’t do anything about it. Through some detective work we figured out it was a bunch of teenagers from somewhere totally random like Ohio in the US, Facebook stalked a bit, figured out where one of them went to school and contacted the headteacher.

The account disappeared a few days later
