I (27m) took my nephew (15m) swimming at the public pool. We ran into an old friend of my sister (the kid's mother). He is in his early to mid 30s like her. From what I know they lost contact a while ago.

Before leaving I was waiting outside for my nephew to get dressed in the changing rooms and suddenly he comes running out to me. He told me that the man from earlier had followed him into the changing room and then repeatedly asked him to let him watch as he changes. Of course my nephew declined and the guy got angry and tried to literally tear his swim trunks down and also grabbed his crotch. That's when he ran away from the creep.

I went back in to look for the guy but he was already gone. I called the police and also my sister. We told the police exactly what happened and they checked the camera at the exit, but it only captured the top of the man's head and there wasn't much to work with. My sister took about 2 hours to get there even though she lives 20 minutes away, which already irked me a bit. Then once she was there she acted like the whole thing is no big deal and said that we should "drop it" to the police. I told her to give them the guy's full name (I only know his first name) and tell them where he lived when they were in contact, but she refused and made very lame excuses. She said she didn't know his last name and that he never took her to his place and she doesn't know the address, only that it was here in the city. As far as I'm concerned that's complete bullshit. She's been friends with him all throughout her last year of highschool, university and even a few years after that. There is no way she doesn't know his last name or where he lived. Especially because she would stay at his house, and I know that. I argued back and forth with her but she kept playing dumb and brushing the thing off. I called our parents and asked them if they still remembered more information about him but they didn't.

I'm extremely pissed at my sister and I don't get why she would protect some pedophile who touched her own child. I could tell how uncomfortable my nephew was with the way she acted. She said that her old friend isn't "that kind of guy" and that her son must be exaggerating the situation. Before we all left I asked if he could stay with me for the night but she said no, he has school tomorrow. At that point she seemed really annoyed and even angry with me for pressing her so much about that guy. I've never seen her act like this and it seriously ruined my perception of her.

Edit: I checked my nephews TikTok account where he sometimes posts videos of him and his friends doing tricks on his trampoline or playing in his pool. The kids are shirtless in most of the videos and I've seen a couple of odd comments, but one account commented under nearly every single post. Very disgusting remarks. Account name is the first name of my sister's old friend and what may very well be his birth year. My nephew told me that he blocked someone with a similar profile before, but afterwards this new account started commenting and he ignored it. The account is following my sister's account and she's following back. My husband went through the guy's other followers and eventually found someone's Facebook page that has the guy linked in a post with his full name. We will be giving that information to the police. Now they'll be able to find him.

My sister herself has left a couple of comments on my nephew's videos and I would bet she saw her friend's very explicit and inappropriate comments on her child's body. My nephew said to me that he told her about this account popping up after he blocked the first one and she told him to just ignore it because "there will simply always be creeps online". I'm so disgusted with her and I'll try everything to make him come live with me instead.

As a young boy from the ages of 12-15 I was sex trafficked by an adult relative. It started with just him and eventually he would invite people over who would pay him to abuse me. When I was 12-13 it was mainly the same 3 or 4 men. At 14 I was away for almost the whole year due to health reasons, but when I returned home at 15 this relative had found a way to make even more money off me, and from then on it was more than just the same 3 or 4 people. Sometimes I "agreed" to it and sometimes he would have to take me with him forcefully.

I don't remember much from when I was 12 and 13 because I was high for the most part, but from the later time period I have very clear memories so my answers will mainly be based on that.

I (27m) have been with my now husband (also 27m) since we were 7 years old. Or rather that's when we "officially" started dating. I have actually had a crush on him since we were preschool aged. Our parents used to be friends before we were born, and we met for playdates since we were toddlers.

We have never broken up or taken a relationship break or been with another person.

I just saw a post on tiktok that showed a 15 year old boy's bedroom and there was a spiderman print on his blanket. I'm not even joking, hundreds of people went off about it in the comments. Did I miss something? Isn't spider man for boys around that age? Sure, you see it on little kid's clothes all the time but I don't think the actual comics/movies are intended for 4 year olds. And either way, most spider man fans I've seen are probably grown men and that's just as fine. Sometimes I can't believe my eyes on the Internet. People going crazy over some kid having a spider man blanket is really another level of strange. I didn't even know that sort of thing was considered too childish nowadays. When I was 15 I was playing with beyblades lol. That's a child.
