    The Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) in Adelaide says it is worrying that two girls lost in a stormwater drain raised the alert on a social networking site rather than ringing triple-0.

    The 10- and 12-year-old girls updated a Facebook status to say they were lost in a drain on Honeypot Road at Hackham in Adelaide's southern suburbs on Sunday night.

    Glenn Benham from the MFS says it was fortunate a young friend was online at the time and was able to call for help for them.

    "It is a worry for us because it causes a delay on us being able to rescue the girls," he said.

    "If they were able to access Facebook from their mobile phones, they could have called 000, so the point being they could have called us directly and we could have got there quicker than relying on someone being online and replying to them and eventually having to call us via 000 anyway."

    That's just ridiculous. Facebook is becoming an addiction. If marijuana is banned, then facebook should definitely be banned.

    So instead of 911 or in their case 000, they updated their facebook.

    Why the hell do 10 and 12 year olds have facebook???
