Save our sons from Facebook

Save our sons from Facebook

Facebook addiction has gone too far for two college students.

One of them beat up his mother for money to recharge credit in his phone.

Both the boys are studying in a renowned college in Dhaka.

Their mothers feel helpless and have no idea where to go.

Eventually they came to Prothom Alo to tell the story of their woes.

One of the mothers said her son won awards in the Math Olympiad and language competitions.

"Now my boy is no longer what he used to be," she said. 

She brought her son a basic phone first.

But he saved up some money and brought a smart phone.

His personality began to change.

His grades were going down and he started breaking things if not given money for his phone bill.

"My husband threatened to leave me. He asked me to leave home with my son by the end of this month," his mother said. 

Mother of another Facebook addicted son said her husband left them few months ago.

Her husband said he would not return until she handed 

over their son to the police.

The Facebook addicted son threatened to kill her like Oishee (the death row convict who killed her parents).

He beat up his mother for money as well.

These mothers want a way to get their sons back on track and save them from Facebook addiction
