Grieving parents battle Facebook for access to 15-year-old son's profile after he committed suicide

Parents of a teenage boy who committed suicide are fighting Facebook over privacy laws which block grieving families from accessing minors' accounts.

Eric Rash, 15, took his own life in January 2011. His body was found by his father Ricky in a field close to the family's farm in Nottaway County, Virginia.
