what a disgusting act. Facebook only sees the posts that are reported to them

How did facebook spot it or were they advised about it? A life should never have a monetary value.

I cannot believe this was on a mainstream site like facebook.

Is there follow up to this story? As there is a digital copy of the post and vile auction what is the legal outcome? It sickens me to know that this occurs – shameful and horrific!

I bet nothing will get done about the marriage it’s too late, as for those who knew what was happening were to busy observing seeing how interesting and how far could it actually go! Instead of reporting. There have been multiple things going against the law on Facebook but they slowly getting there even though it’s to late!

So this girl was auctioned, bid upon, sold and married all via Facebook and nobody who read this post was alarmed ? This shows something about the public/readers of the post, not only about the persons responsible for this action. Facebook certainly should not allow this to happen, that it went unnoticed for 15 days is a massive error on their side. They only took it down when the harm was already done.
Praying for this girl-who’s sold like a piece of cattle- and hope that some organization will help her escape !

Think Facebook has much to answer for – and bidding for a child bride is certainly one.

It’s horrible to think this still happens. That poor girl does her family not care.

I hope this girl finds her freedom ????

Really sad a parent could do this

Poo girl I hope they find a way to stop this happening again.

Well, the girl was sold and married. Nothing to do now. If Sudan’s law allows this, we can’t do anything about it. Whoever read this post in Facebook, was probably very interested in the post, and found it “normal”. But I agree that Facebook should take responsibility for such a horrible thing happening!!

Those who read the post about the child bride should have reported it to law enforcement.

  I also agree with that …there are so many wrongs with it all.

Geez, talk about too little too late. I’ve reported a buy, swap, sell page countless times for selling animals which is supposed to be banned and Facebook has done squat about it.

Love to learn a bit more on this story. Did anyone get arrested.?

  I also hope there is a follow up story with more information. So many unanswered questions and it would be good to read a follow up article with links to what people can do to be active and protest against this type of vile act.

I thought they had people who were employed to filter these things before they went public. I find it sadder that this practise still happens, facebook didn’t create it, they may have inadvertently enabled it however it has not caused a spotlight on this issue that hopefully it can change so young girls are valued members of their families, not some product to be sold off.

What i find more alarming is that the practice of brides for sale is still happening in this day. Yes Facebook shouldn’t have allowed it online for 15 days, however they are 1 large corporation and the greater community should be more accountable and reported it.

That’s a long time to go unnoticed. I’m assuming it wasn’t reported during that time?

I know I’ve recently repeatedly reported a scam page on Facebook. The page is still running bogus competitions, well over a week after I first reported it. Very slack Facebook, no wonder you’re losing popularity

If they removed it as soon as they knew, that’s positive.
