A timely intervention by the Facebook saved the life of an Assam teen today.
The girl had posted on Facebook that she was going to commit suicide but was saved by the police in the nick of time after the social media giant’s US-based headquarters alerted them.
“Info was received from Facebook last night that a minor girl had updated her status as- ‘I am gonna to commit suicide today’. The child was located in 30 mins & her safety ensured. She & her family were counselled. She is safe and in their care,” the Assam police said in a tweet.
“The information was received from Facebook headquarters. A life was saved,” police officials said.
