    In their FAQ, Facebook "claims" that the original admin of a group cannot be removed, but just isn't true. If you give access to a trusted friend, and then their Facebook account gets hacked, they can remove all the admin and insert a new one, taking full control of the group.

    And a full explanation in what happened in our experience.

    Do you mean a 'page' not a 'group'?

    It's the same thing for a group, and in this case I mean a group, yes.

    Yeah I noticed this awhile ago when one of my groups was hijacked.

    Did you bother to report this to facebook?

    That sort of is the question. How does one contact facebook and get them to do something about it?
