Facebook is a popular social media. On it appear not only member profiles and personal information, but also publicity about events, situations, circumstances - even missing persons. For example, Beth Bentley, 41, missing from Woodstock since May 23.
Now certain followers of Beth's missing-person Facebook page have taken to publicizing names and telephone numbers of southern Illinois law enforcement and government officials and are urging 7,600 "friends" to contact those officials.
Fortunately, the response will probably be similar to the number of Facebook "friends" who donated money to the bank account set up for a reward fund. Out of over 7,000 "friends", two contributed.
The southern Illinois police agencies seem to have no bonafide leads. The Woodstock PD is the lead investigatory agency. Urging thousands of readers, who receive an email message every time a comment is posted, to call southern Illinois police agencies is just plain insanity.
