of trapped girls call for help on facebook

Trapped girls call for help on Facebook: 2 girls, aged 10 and 12, updated their facebook status when they were lost in a drain in Adelaide. The Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) in Adelaide says it is worrying that the girls did not dial for help instead.

The Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) in Adelaide says it is worrying that two girls lost in a stormwater drain raised the alert on a social networking site rather than ringing triple-0.

The 10- and 12-year-old girls updated a Facebook status to say they were lost in a drain on Honeypot Road at Hackham in Adelaide's southern suburbs on Sunday night.

Glenn Benham from the MFS says it was fortunate a young friend was online at the time and was able to call for help for them.
