How to Report Someone on Facebook
Facebook is meant as a place to enjoy your communication with friends and family. Unfortunately, sometimes a bad apple tries to ruin others' experiences on the social networking site. Facebook makes it easy to report abuse or harassment and will warn or restrict users as necessary. Report a person for general harassment by sending a report about his profile or alert Facebook to a specific post that you found offensive.

Log in to Facebook and go to the profile of the person you want to report. Find a particular user by entering his name in the search field at the top of any Facebook screen. Clicking on a user's name next to one of his comments or posts on the site will also direct you to his profile.

Scroll down to the bottom of the left-hand sidebar in the user's profile. Click the blue "Report/Block This Person" link.

Let Facebook know why you're reporting the person by clicking the circle immediately to the left of the appropriate reason; Facebook supplies five reasons for reporting. You may also optionally request to block the person by checking the box next to "Block [User's Name]." Blocked users won't be able to see you on Facebook at all.

You have a lot of kids under the age of 13 on here. Katelyn Alderson for one. She is 11 years old. and Ricky Alan Hammond for another. This is to mention only a couple. The mom's to these children are Bridget Hammond and Serena Alderson. Katelyn Alderson lives in a foster home in Albany NY and this is how children end up getting stalked by child molesters. I think you better get these kids off there and off there now.
