EVERYTHING you post on Facebook is potentially public, so treat it as such. Facebook wipes your privacy settings with alarming frequency. You're one "forward" or "share" away from internet notoriety.
If you're afraid about your secrets getting out, encrypt them and don't let them leave your personal hard drive. Because, in accordance with Murphy's law, everything else will eventually become public.

(By adding them to a public group, which he didn't anticipate would broadcast the news to their friends and family --- and I'm not sure I'd expect it to be obvious that it would.) The only cure in this case would be to unfriend anyone who shouldn't potentially know everything that you or anyone else has entered on Facebook. Which is often not a practical idea for those with delicate family issues.
