I found an old chromebook.. I think i bought it in 2016? I started using it and it runs fine, the only problem is the battery drains quickly.
I noticed the browser itself was outdated and the version of Gmail was too old to use. Installing Brave fixed that problem though the site views are a bit blurry and mobile looking.
Is it safe to use for a while?
Back in 2019 I was on fb and id always get pervs in my message requests
This one blatantly said he liked kids and asked me if I had a daughter that looked like me
I flipped out on him, he laughed the more angry I got then bragged nobody would suspect him of being a pedo
I instantly thought this is just a troll, hes rage baiting. No one would be this open and specific about shit like that
Then I went through groups he followed. They were little girl swimming teams, of girls as young as kindergarten in bathing suits. He also followed multiple other groups that I don't even understand have a point but to serve as eye candy to perverts (like really? People look at pages of kids at beaches for non creepy reasons?)
I also confirmed his pics were real after I added him on a separate account, seeing his family on there and pictures of him with child relatives
I kept this seperate account and started adding pics of Disney stuff and put my age as 12. I didn't use selfies but I thought this would make it more convincing (my mom won't let me post selfies yet being one example). However i did use fake pics of random people i tagged as my dad, uncle, etc
He bought it and started msging me. He was not as open this time, and clearly knew how grooming worked more than id expect. He just started out being friendly, asking what my hobbies were etc
It didn't take very long for him to ask me if i ever touched myself before
I acted as clueless as possible and but I had to keep going to get him to say as worse explicit things as possible
Our conversation went on for 2 days. By the end he had said the most fucked up things, sent nudes (which is prison time by itself) and said hed take me to amusement parks and be like a uncle to me. He even wanted to integrate himself into my family.
I screenshottted all of it. It was tons and tons of screenshots. I screenshotted his pictures.
I then sent them all to him and told him youre fucked. He laugh reacted like a fool and said idiot I was trolling
I screenshotted that too
Trolling or not, he sent nudes and that was enough
I sent it to his mom, who didn't ever open it because we weren't friends. I started sending it to every single relative and friend and eventually they started seeing them
We all formed a secret little group to take down this asshole
he hid his job but it was no issue, his stepsister told us that as well as his address. It eventually got to his mom and she went rabid on his ass.
He ended up being visited by police, his dad was the only sympathetic asshole but nobody cared what he had to say
He ended up getting away with it, just had to register as a sex offender and from talking to his relatives he was also on house arrest
I posted his info everywhere in his town every restaurant and business. I left out the more explicit parts of our conversation. I wanted to ruin any possible employment in his whole area
It caught on fast. Found out he attempted to off himself but since he was a sex offender that went after kids, the pos couldn't even get into a usual behavioral/private hospital and had to go to the worse state hospital (over an attempt to off himself, he was probably one of the few patients in such a hospital that wasn't violent or batshit)
Damn it felt so good afterwards. I don't know where he is now, because I didnt ever want to see anything about him again.
These people weren't there during times i was struggling. They blatantly shunned me and could care less when I needed real support.
Suddenly, they're all VERY concerned about me. I came out as atheist on Facebook and relatives that haven't even contacted me on birthdays are randomly starting to care and remember what my number was!
Ironically they're trying to look like they care by saying i should turn back to God and i can call them anytime I want.
Right, so they can just proselytize, get me to go back to Jesus then disappear again.
They have such a warped view of what true compassion and empathy is that it's scary.
All my life i was her favorite. My dad left. He had affairs behind her back and it broke her. I was 16 and felt sympathy for her
She was already obese, she would ask me to bring her chocolate and ice cream to feel better. I thought I was helping her get through problems but ended up being one of them
She gained weight very fast. Family could not hold back comments on how big she was. None of them were openly rude though I did often hear giggling between my younger relatives when they visited
She started getting cold towards me. She'd ask me why I wasn't home to get her dinner and saw that I had ate when I brought in a fast food cup. She went off on me and said I only cared about myself and how disrespectful it was to not get her something too
She became manipulative and cruel. I had no idea i was under her control at the time and still felt like I owed her something even though years passed since my father left
She started calling my phone repeatedly, kicking and hitting the walls to wake me up at 7am to get her breakfast. If I didn't get up, she would call my sister and tell her I was mentally abusing her
My sister bought it, and would scold me over the phone. My mom grinned during, she took joy and loved to smile in my face that she could play people against me and win
She started calling ME fat. She began saying "look at your thighs" "have you been eating more?" And then said i must have been eating her meals which is why she was "faint"
This is when her dramatics started. She started calling ambulances and saying her blood sugar was low and she hadn't been eating at all. The doctors obviously knew by looking at her that she was not starving like she claimed
One night I decided enough was enough. I told her I was taking her to the hospital or call an ambulance, her only two options. Her leg was swollen and she'd been denying anything was wrong for weeks. She also had trouble breathing but again, said this was from "starving"
It all ended that night. I explained to the doctors what had been going on since I was 16. I told them how she treated me, that she denied she had weight problems and a nutritionist came in
A social worker also spoke to me and explained that she saw abusive behaviors going on, and to stop buying her food.
She stayed for 3 days and I never visited her. I had my bags packed and left before she was discharged back home.
To this day she hasn't spoke to me. She blocks me on social media and blocks my numbers when I even text happy birthday.
