Here is the best answer and advice I can give you based on the information.

Do not have your son respond to anything on facebook. Let people say whatever they want to him. But he cannot respond while charges are pending - this can be used as evidence against him. The police man is not entirely correct about freedom of speech. There are options for you in defending you son and filing suit on the friends sister. I cannot tell you what those options are based on the limited information. Here is the website: www.parkeslawgroup.com Please call if you want to discuss further or make an appointment.

Most important: He keeps his mouth shut and does not reply online to anybody's instigation.
