Ex-boyfriend in Facebook rage attack臉友惹惱前男友 國三生毆國三生
Is Facebook the cause of this calamity? A male high-school student from Hsinchu, surnamed Wu, and a female student, both in the same grade, intimately interacted on Facebook. The female student’s ex-boyfriend, surnamed Lin, also in the third grade, became aware of this and unbelievably, together with classmates and wielding a wrench, dealt a blow to Wu’s head, causing injuries.
The judge found that Lin, on seeing Wu’s frequent intimate interaction on Facebook with his ex-girlfriend, became resentful and decided to wait for an opportunity to teach Wu a lesson. On the afternoon of March 2 last year, in league with fellow third-grade classmates surnamed Lo and Tsai — and carrying a wrench used for vehicle maintenance, approximately 40 centimeters in length — waited for Wu next to the Jiew Sheh Elementary School basketball court.
After Wu had been invited to the court, he was surrounded by the three students. Lin suddenly took out the previously concealed wrench and struck Wu on the right temple and left cheekbone twice in quick succession, then ran off. Wu’s face, scalp and neck were bruised and there was an open wound to the right side of his face two to three centimeters wide. The attack also caused nervous anxiety, insomnia, recurring thoughts of the incident, associated post-traumatic stress reaction and mental and physical illness. Lo and his father have been asked to pay NT$200,000 in joint damages.

都是臉書惹的禍？新竹市吳姓國三男學生與一名同年級女學生在臉書上互動熱絡，女學生的林姓國三前男友得知，竟與同學持鐵扳手痛擊吳生頭部成傷。
法官調查，林生疑因看到吳生在臉書常與其前女友互動熱絡，心生不滿，計畫伺機教訓他，去年三月二日下午攜帶長約四十公分鐵製修車用扳手，夥同羅姓與蔡姓國三生在舊社國小籃球場旁等候吳生。
