Hi Brian,
That sort of thing is exactly why I never use facebook or any other
social media. I know that my younger relatives think it is great, but I
avoid it.
I suspect your young relative used his facebook account while he spent
time with you. They could very well just tie the two of you to the
common location.

The power of search engines, Google and goodness knows what else.
Three weeks ago we hosted my wife's daughter, and her son and
daughter, for a couple of weeks.
I have never mentioned their names on
facebook, never contacted them through facebook, and have contacted
my
wife's daughter only via her e-mail and cell-phone. I have never
contacted her children electronically, nor they me.
To my utter
surprise, 2 days ago facebook suggested her son as a facebook friend for
me. I have checked since then
and he has never mentioned my name in his
short history on facebook.
Clearly, facebook and some other entities
have electronic algorithms operating which have incredible, and in my
opinion,
dangerous powers. So far I have not managed to figure out how
they came to link his and my names. This bothers me somewhat.
Cheers,
Brian
