Shanked - just means 'beaten'.

Does he play football? Computer games?

I wouldn't worry about it, despite it being a disgusting word - it seems to be affectionate/jolly enough in the context it was used.

ds1 uses this word (i hate it lol) when playing football/cricket/rugby. He says they are going to shank the other team blah blah blah. Its basically slang for a hiding, but as i say my son only uses it in a sporting context

check any other comments made by the person who said this- report if neccessary (to police, if need be - take prints of the screens as proof).

I look at my DS as in i made him make me a friend so i can check up on what he is saying on his, a few swear words apeared and i told him that it wasn't nice.

I don't see anything wrong in checking your childs facebook, you get to see what they are up to. And if anything untoward you can act.

Last year DS joined a group saying nasty things about a teacher at school, I told him to leave it or else he could get in trouble, he was made admin of the group, and the group creater left.

I gave DS a few days, still he was in this group, so i called the school and told them about this group, DS was hauled in, accused of setting the group up etc, almost cost him his place at school, they were ready to kick him out.

I told the school he did not create it, just stupid enough to join it, and with the IT team at school he had to log on to his account, the school contacted facebook to remove it too.

DS had a lucky escape, If i had not spotted it, he could of got into serious trouble with the school.

The only good side everyone one apart from DS used nasty swear words about this teacher, they all got in trouble apart from DS. although a swift telling off about the stupidity of joining such groups.

I would be concerned about someone writing this on my sons wall as shanked round here means stab.
