Being sued for slander on Facebook?

Postby andor25 » Wed Apr 04, 2012 12:46 pm

At my home town a girl went missing and I'm her brother sons godmother. I have him very well and trust him. Well the girl ran away. They found her today and the girl was at a friends house and said she didn't want to go home bc her mom beat her. Her brother said he was beat his other sister said this to over Facebook to the public. And I said aomethig about it on Facebook next thing I know the girls mom is threating to sue me for slander. Advise on why to do? It's not slander if it's true? Also I'm not the only one on Facebook saying these things. Alot of ppl have said what I did.

Your time would be better spent masturbating to pictures of Shemare Moore [the actor who plays Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds]. Every day people do not have the time or money to sue for slander. In reality, only rich people sue for this sort of petty crap. Rich rich, sensitive people only would sue you. Just think about something else.

90% of status updates posted on Facebook are slanderous....isn't that the point of social networking, to insult people and cause drama behind the anonymity of the internet? She can't do a thing, don't worry about it lol.

Depends what the 'something' you said was.

But for them to successfully sue you for slander, he would have to prove he has lost income because of your comments.
