By By Leigh Goessl Oct 7, 2011 in Internet Carlsbad - Anger over a lack of response to a Facebook status post has resulted in a Texas man being arrested with a charge of battery on a household member. According to the official report, the couple had been arguing over a Facebook status Apolinar had made which referenced the anniversary of his mother's death. Apolinar purportedly was unhappy by her lack of response on the social network. Apparently he'd expected his wife to click the 'Like' button on his Facebook post. "That's amazing everyone 'likes' my status but you, you're my wife. You should be the first one to 'like' my status." The complaint indicates Dolores Apolinar would not let her estranged husband into the house because, due to her house arrest status, was concerned she'd get into trouble with the law. Apolinar allegedly refused to leave, pulled his wife's hair and then punched her in the cheek. Police observed a red mark on Dolores Apolinar's face. Benito Apolinar claims his wife hit herself in the face and then hit him with her cellphone over the eye. Police noted there was a scratch on his eyebrow.

Back in January 2011 While social networks do not cause violence per se, they are a tool used in daily life for many people, and, as a result, networks such as Facebook, are often cited in domestic arguments and violence.
