friend request

Parents in Britain cannot obtain friendship with their children on the Facebook website, reveals a new survey. 30% of UK parents get rejected when sending Facebook “friend” requests to their children and many of them then use other people's login details in order to keep track of their kids’ activities.

Facebook is testing a new feature to block certain users from repeatedly sending you a friend request. Once you mark “ignore” on a friend request, you’ll see a new option in addition to being able to report the person for abuse or spam: “Mark that you don’t know” them.
