Well they aren't caught as of yet...
Messages riddled with profanity, racial slurs and name calling aimed at students at Farmington's Harrison High School were posted on a Facebook page titled the "Harrison Hitlist."
School officials and police said they've launched an investigation into who is responsible for creating the page.
The page was taken down Thursday -- but not before several students and parents saw it.
"It's profane and mean-spirited," said junior Alec Ramsey-Smith. "They are preying on the insecurities of teenagers who are always very insecure about everything."
Beth Salk is the mother of a junior female student. She said she's worried the gossip could spark a physical fight or emotional damage.
School officials said if the person responsible turns out to be a student, they will be faced with disciplinary actions.
With over 500 million people on Facebook, some people are exposing themselves to get caught!

This burglar was Facehooked!
You know you are facehooked when you can't even break into a house without logging in. In April a burglar outside Rome logged in mid-heist to post a few messages on his Facebook wall but forgot to log out before he left. Police sniffed out the alleged criminal and recouped the stolen cash and jewelry. "He did not expect us at all and was very surprised when we told him how we had tracked him down," said Major Ivo Di Blasio of the Italian police.
Police followed the virtual trail to Jonathan G. Parker, 19, and arrested him.
Another would-be burglar made the same mistake four months later; in August, a woman in Martinsburg, W. Va., found two diamond rings missing from her home — then noticed that her computer was still logged into a Facebook account she didn't recognize.

Trying to play hooky!
A 21-year-old Australian call-center worker Kyle Doyle logged onto Facebook and updated his status one day in October 2008, he must have been as drunk as his message said he was. Apparently recovering from a night of hard boozing, Doyle wrote:
"not going to work, f--- it i'm still trashed SICKIE WOO."
When will people learn there is nothing private on FB! Gees...
He inadvertently alerted his employer to his fake illness and was busted by the human resources department. An e-mail exchange between Doyle and an HR representative circulated the Web — though Doyle's mom claimed it was a hoax — and the young man was told he would need to furnish a doctor's note or lose pay for the missed day. When Doyle argued the company had no right to dock his pay without reason, the HR rep simply e-mailed him a screen grab of his own status update.
He has become a Facebook legend; users have created several groups to support him.

Candidate Caught Wishing Death on Palin on Facebook
A Democratic candidate for state representative in New Hampshire is learning this all-important lesson after weighing in on comments over the Ted Stevens plane crash with this gem:
“Mr. Halloran’s outrageous comments are a new low, even by the standards of the New Hampshire Democrat Party,” said GOP spokesman Ryan Williams. “His publicly stated death wish for Governor Palin and her family is abhorrent, and has no place in public discourse." They want an apology from him and a denunciation from top Democrats.
