BAREILLY: This is certainly not the kind of social networking parents would wish their children to indulge in. Twenty-year-old Vijay Maurya, a second year student at Bareilly College , has decided that a woman from Kerala whom he met on Facebook is his "mother” and that he wants to swap his real parents for her. His puzzled parents and friends have been trying to reason with him, but the young man is keen on a change of parents.Vijay’s story started when his family noticed he was getting increasingly hooked to the social networking site. Brijesh Maurya, the boy’s father, told TOI, that the family noticed he was not his usual self although they didn’t take much note of it that time. Last month, though, the boy went missing from his house. The family became frantic and approached the police. In the meantime, they found that cash transfers —in installments totalling almost Rs 22,000 – had been made into his account. Vijay turned up after 28 days and declared that he had gone to meet his "Facebook mom” Sukanya (name changed), a middle-aged nurse from Trivandrum employed in Bahrain with whom he intends to stay. He also revealed that the money in his account had been transferred by Sukanya.Adding to the drama, the "Facebook mom” landed in Bareilly on Friday to claim her "son”, leading to run-ins with his family and sleuths from the local intelligence unit(LIU) who were investigating the money transfers purportedly made by her. Sukanya reached the boy’s house where her "son” clasped her hand tightly and expressed his desire to go with her. However, the family and the police managed to dissuade both the boy and the woman from leaving. "Thedecision has been kept on hold temporarily,” said Inspector (LIU), M P Singh.Meanwhile, the boy’s family is hoping that he’ll change his mind. "It has been decided that my son would remain with us for the next 20 days and thereafter it would be his decision to continue with us or go with Sukanya,” said Brijesh Maurya.Incidentally, a further twist has been added to the affair with a few BJP leaders pitching in for the family, terming it as part of a "well planned conspiracy” by the woman, a Christian, to convert a Hindu boy.
