A teen in St. Paul, Minnesota used Facebook in an unusual way: to get help from the police. He posted a message for someone to call 911 as his mother was being attacked by her boyfriend, 31-year-old Reggie LeAndrew Hart in her own home.

The 15-year-old was afraid Hart would hear the teen call the police, so he silently used his cell phone to post a message for help on Facebook, according to The Associated Press.
