You know that addresses are listed in the phone book, right?

Why does your 8 year old have Facebook in the first place? That's a bit young to be going on a site like that. Secondly, maybe he gave his address out when someone asked, after all he is really young and doesn't know what's right or wrong. You should deactivate his account if your a decent parent

Some people spend hours trawling FB for info, but since the person lives nearby, it is possible that perhaps a profile was posted of your Son and was recognised. Can never be too careful when using FB or indeed any other social media.

He may have agreed to give up personal info in trade to play one of those "invite your friends" games.

Why have you let your son have a facebook account when he is SO young? The minimum age is 13

In order to be eligible to sign up for Facebook, you must be at least 13 years old.

Legally, you have to be 13 to use Facebook...
