New York (CNN) — The parents of a murder victim are suing Facebook after a paramedic pleaded guilty to photographing their daughter’s corpse and posting the image to the social networking site, according to court documents.
Caroline Wimmer, 26, was found by her parents, Ronald and Martha, after she was strangled with a hair-dryer cord in March 2009 in Staten Island, New York.
Paramedic Mark Musarella — who responded to their corresponding emergency call — later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after posting to Facebook the photographs he took, the documents said.
“All I want is my daughter’s picture back,” Martha Wimmer told CNN. “I want it destroyed,” noting that the image is no longer posted on the site.
My one and only question for the parents is , how is face book at fault? the owners of face book cannot be held responsible for the actions of an individual who chose to have the pictures posted on line. He has already acknowledge his guilt, then why try to sue face book. ALTHOUGH I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU FOR LOSS, HOWEVER I SEE GREED WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR INTENTIONS.
IF YOU WATCH THE VIDEO
SHE IS NOT SUING FACEBOOK 4 MONEY
PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN TO RESPECT PEOPLE’S PRIVACY AND THAT’S THAT. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN JUST TAKE PICTURE WITHOUT PERMISSION AND DO WHAT EVER THEY PLEASE. GO AFTER THEM……..
Tough one. It’s amazing what the loss of a child can cause one to do. In this case, I guess the loss and the sight have clouded rational thinking to a certain extent. I hope her lawyers don’t take her money for this.
all i want is my daughter’s picture back.. yea yea sure sure all you want is MONEY
