MySpace deletes burn victim's photos
"BJ McCombs was severely burned in a fire at the age of 18 months," explains the support group set up on MySpace after the site removed photos McCombs's parents had posted of their late son. BJ's photos had been deleted by MySpace staff after another user reported them as offensive. "You may feel singled out," reads a message from a MySpace representative to McCombs's mother in Sullivan, Indiana. "But be assured we delete each and every one of these images as we locate them." Mrs. McCombs says MySpace threatened to delete her profile if she reposted the pics. Coverage from local media in the Terre Haute area seems to have stayed MySpace from re-removing the photos, now uploaded to the group's pages.
