While I was forming the thread, I paused for a while and went to Facebook to look at their profiles. I am talking about Willow and Bristol. They have it where you can’t see their comments posted on their walls. It’s private for outsiders who aren’t friends with them On Facebook unless they accept you as a friend. I then finished the thread and posted it. Is that sufficient enough for you?
I made the determination that these posts were fabricated later and not sooner as I assumed at first.

First, it's really only as "private" as the mouthiest friend you have. Any "friend" can share your information pretty much with abandon. As long as the "print screen" key works on their computer, as in this case, Facebook is an open book.
Second, there are applications on Facebook; games and the like, which have in the past, exploited security issues and have taken all sorts of private information.
Thirdly, there are numerous hacks and now even browser-add-ons (for the laziest of script kiddies) to acquire and compromise so-called "private" information on Facebook and other sites.
Parents need to check and remind their kids over and over: there is very little privacy on the internet. We check our children's profiles frequently and remind them when they've overstepped our agreed-upon boundaries.
People who don't understand the above really shouldn't use Facebook. It's not so much a matter of personal embarrassment. It's a matter of personal security.
If you are in the friends netowrk, all you would need is a screen shot of the conversation.
There is a privacy setting on facebook where you can check who can view your page. “Friends only” is one option but “Friends of Friends” is one of the settings so just because you as a total stranger can’t see their page doesn’t mean that friends of their friends can’t see their page.
