London, Jan 16 (IANS) Child actor Daniel Roche, who played the title role in BBC1 series “Just William”, was targeted by an internet stalker who set up a fake Facebook page in his name.The stalker used the bogus page to chat to the 11-year-old’s primary school friends and even tried to arrange a meeting with one girl, reports dailymail.co.uk.
But when Daniel’s mother asked Facebook to take the page down, they failed to act until The Mail on Sunday stepped in. The page, which also revealed Daniel’s home address, school and other sensitive details, was finally taken down on Friday.
