Facebook as an alibi

Using facebook as an alibi is ingenius! But honestly would that be enough for me to believe my teenage son that he wasn't somewhere he was not supposed to be - I don't think so. Don't get me wrong my son is a good kid and I have no reason to suspect that he is dishonest. It just seems that this would be too easy as a cover.

The article that I read that a nineteen year old that was a suspect in a burglery had charges dropped because he showed he was on facebook at the time of the crime has me suspicious. Anyone could have been using his login. What a perfect crime. Set it all up ahead of time, use cell phones to be sure the timing was right. This is not enough evidence for me that he was not involved in the crime. Hopefully there will be furtherinvestigation on this person.

In the meantime people who read or heard about this could be devising a whole slew of criminal activities with the intention of using this defense.
