The family of a Drexel Hill couple, who created a bucket list for their unborn son, says the Facebook page dedicated to their journey was hacked.

Dan and Jenna Haley created the Facebook page Prayers for Shane to chronicle their journey and make the most of their time with their unborn son Shane.

Relatives say someone hacked into the page on Saturday afternoon and posted explicit images.

Jenna's father told Action News that his daughter was very upset and was worried that she would lose the memories posted on the page.

By 5:00 p.m. the photos were removed and the page appeared to be back to normal.

This comes just days after the couple announced the birth of their son Shane Michael Haley on Oct. 9. Baby Shane died a few hours later.

Earlier in the year, the child was diagnosed with anencephaly, a complex neural defect that kills most infants soon after birth.

Despite being told this, his parents wanted to make the most of their brief time with him and made a "bucket list" of their favorite activities, which they then completed before Shane's birth.

Speaking with Action News back in September about the page's popularity, Dan said, "Even though he hasn't even been born yet, he's obviously made his mark already on the world."

The Facebook page began as a way to share their adventures with friends and family, but quickly escalated into a viral sensation.
