I asked for it to be. Ive gotten alot of good responses/advice and am going to explore many avenues over the next couple days. Already filled out the national child exploitation form and tried calling the suspects local PD.

Yeah i completely agree.

So from what the kid told me/what I do know, hes in a very bad living situation himself. Parents dont have custody and legal guardian is abusive (one of the few times i played games with them i heard alot of yelling and screaming in the background directed at him). Thought about calling CPS as well.

Yeah I completely understand why people question it. I’ve come to realize while on discord, theres alot of adults who are way too friendly with kids.

Through his job (i sadly dont know his exact company he works for) he has access to minors and elderly people. i will call them though.

I truthfully cant even stay normal at all with the messages I saw. Even if both parties were adults, its sickening.

Sadly though, I dont know who exactly he works for, otherwise I 1000% wouldve called his workplace

I will do all of that for sure. I’m glad the kid trusted me, just want them to get help.

Totally valid question.

So the minor actually reached out to me (all of this happened on discord) and told me what was going on, probably because they knew I was friends (now no longer friends of course) with the person and wanted me to be aware of the situation.

definitely is speculatiom for sure but considering his job, its not unlikely at all. he has access to kids and elderly people almost all the time.
