Facebook gives teens a place to mourn loss of classmate

The tragic loss of Watertown 15-year-old Brie Antonio this weekend in a Vermont snowmobile accident was followed by an instantaneous outpouring of grief and sharing of photos, memories and condolences on what has become the biggest gathering place for today's youth.
Facebook.
A Facebook page called "In Memory of Brie Antonio" was established Sunday afternoon and had 615 members by 7 p.m. By 8 p.m., there were more than 700 members, as classmates from Watertown High School used the forum to comfort each other and share memories of Antonio.
