There is NO option for profanity, therefore it cannot be reported.

If you mouse over their post, a small "x" should show up in the top right corner. Click that and a drop down menu should appear, the last option is "Report as Abuse." Click that and you should be able to report this as abuse.

To block the person, go to their profile and it is the last option in the left column beneath where it lists their friends/family

Stefan Bird a 14 year old from Falmouth, Ma. repeatedly uses profanity on his Facebook wall. Is there any way to shut him down? I am a concerned parent,

He's 14 years old, the minimum age to use Facebook is 13.

I did an in depth search, but didn't come up with anything that said that swearing was a violation of the Facebook rules.

If you are that concerned about it, you can block him as a user and you'll never see his postings again.

Simply click the x that appears to the right of his posting, mark it as spam, and file a detailed spam report if this allows that.

Go to his profile and click report/block user, located on the left hand side of his profile.

When you block a user, you cannot see them and they cannot see you.

For example, if you receive a harassing message in your Inbox, you can report the message by clicking on the "Report" link next to the sender's name. If you receive a harassing message from a person who is one of your Facebook friends, you should remove the person as a friend and report the message. Reporting a message as harassing will automatically add the sender to your Block List. You can also use the "Report/Block this Person" link that appears at the bottom of the abusive user's profile.

How to report abuse from another user on facebook

For example, if you receive a harassing message in your Inbox, you can report the message by clicking on the "Report" link next to the sender's name.

Reporting a message as harassing will automatically add the sender to your Block List. You can also use the "Report/Block this Person" link that appears at the bottom of the abusive user's profile.

If you learn that someone is continuing to make abusive comments about you even after they've been blocked, a friend can report that person on your behalf. Reports are confidential and the user being reported does not know that they have been reported.

After a report is submitted, you will receive confirmation that the report has been received and we will investigate the issue to make a determination as to whether or not the content should remain on the site based on our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. A Facebook administrator looks into each report thoroughly in order to decide the appropriate course of action. Go to the following link: http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=13247
