7-Year-Old Uses Facebook To Reunite Siblings Separated For 65 Years

And he didn’t even have to use Graph Search.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
7-Year-Old Uses Facebook To Reunite Siblin...
Jessica Testa

Clifford Boyson, 66, and his sister Betty Billadeau, 70, were separated as children in Chicago’s foster care system.

They reunited on Saturday, Jan. 12, in Davenport, Iowa, after Eddie, the 7-year-old son of Boyson’s landlord, looked Billadeau up on Facebook for him, the Associated Press reports.

“I went on Facebook and I typed in Boyson,” Eddie told ABC News. “There were a whole bunch of pictures that showed up. One of them kind of looked like Clifford and I zoomed in on it and it started to really look like Clifford, [so] I showed it to my mom and dad.”

Boyson brought his sister pink roses and told her “you’re about the same height Mom was.”

After their reunion, the siblings gave Eddie a $125 check, according to the AP.

      Am I the only one who is a bit disturbed that a seven year old understood how to work Facebook?

      Also, Clifford is a registered sex offender. Look it up. For some reason that little nugget is left out of the coverage of this heartwarming tale.

      This needs to be rewritten. If he’s 66 and they’ve been separated for 65 years, how would a 1 year old remember having a sister? Also, how did she come up in a search of his last name?
