Mr. Simon Milner
Mr. Matt Steinfeld
Dear Sirs,
This is the second time we write Facebook to demand that this 3rd event - which has now grown to over 10,000 guests - be shut down together with its adult host, Dino Bruscia. This event exploits children sexually, is filled with hate and abuse, and also adult pornography.
https://www.facebook.com/events/178728672330372/
Together with the hate and cyber bullying in virtually every thread directed at the teens who post their own or their friends' images, there are threats of gun violence, suicide instructions, teens in overly sexual poses, adult porn, bestiality, teens in their underwear, adult nudity and every possible form of abuse.
The provocative images posted by the kids of themselves WILL be used by child sexual predators.
Adults are making sexually obscene comments towards minors in the event.
Below is a brief list of just some of the recent posts that neither the hosts, nor Facebook has bothered to remove in an event directed at teens.

We find Facebook's lack of action in this regard appalling and expect immediate removal of this page.
As mentioned before the one host, Dino Bruscia, is an adult and has no place hosting a major event billed as a so-called popularity contest for teens, especially one called "HOTTEST and cutest teens. This is sexual exploitation of minors by an adult on Facebook, which you are refusing to remove.
Please refer to our earlier email giving the background on Mr. Bruscia, including for his previous arrest for child endangerment and assault.
The hosts of an event are fully responsible for ensuring that abusive, illegal or inappropriate material is removed. The responsibility for the posting and non-removal lies solely on the hosts and of course Facebook, not on trolls as you claimed in the media.
Facebook is legally responsible for removing reported illegal content and for removing a page, event or group that acts in a manner violating its Terms of Service or the law. This event and its hosts have violated the law and your ToS and therefore warrants removal.
This matter is of extreme urgency and we look forward to immediate escalation of our report.
