The administration, and specifically Principal David Schrag, of Stanley Middle School, have warned their students and parents of students of a potential online predator targeting Stanley students.

An unknown individual has attempted to “friend” a large number of Stanley students on the online social networking site Facebook. The unknown individual has made repeated attempts to “friend” some students, despite the fact that the students had previously declined any requests.

The Lafayette Police Department is currently investigating the situation. The school also contacted Facebook officials.

The school wants parents to remind their children of the potential dangers of online predators and to not talk to people they don’t know on these sites.
