Only confirmed friends can post to your wall or contact you via Facebook chat, so if you're worried that someone will make inappropriate posts or send offensive messages, you should ignore that person's request.
Use the 'blocking' function to stop abusive behaviour
A block prevents specific people from viewing a profile. When one is implemented, any ties that users have with the people you block will be broken, and these people won't be able to contact you through Facebook. If you receive abusive communication, we recommend that you block the offender by listing his or her name in the 'blocking people' box at the bottom of the privacy page.
Report abusive behaviour directly to Facebook
Reports are confidential and the user being reported does not know that they have been reported.
Facebook will investigate the issue and decide whether the content should remain on the site based on its terms of use.
A Facebook administrator looks into each report thoroughly to decide the appropriate course of action.
Control bullying by restricting privacy settings
To restrict the amount of information that potential bullies may have access to, users can also restrict the privacy settings on their Facebook accounts and can also customise their privacy settings to avoid being found in searches or having their profile viewed publicly.
Respond to abusers in the right way
Delete offensive posts from your wall or messages from your inbox and then use the 'blocking' or 'reporting' functions to resolve the issue safely. ( @ Independent News )
