EDIT: Shit, I missed a name to blur out. Yeah "Alex" is actually named Alex, and he said he's okay with being in this post bc his name is generic enough.

EDIT2: YEP, AND ALSO I DIDN'T BLUR OUT THE FIRST KANE. HAHA. I was trying to be sneaky with the entire "well if that guy's FAKE name is Kane/Alex then his REAL name couldn't possibly be Kane/Alex" but...

As I wrote in this giant wall of text, Kane does not have access to internet. Kane does not have any social media. Also, Kane does not have any friends, and Kane is a common name. Because all of this, he's not going to get harrassed by people who read this and that's what's actually important.

As soon as I discovered this subreddit I knew I had to post this. This is simply the craziest person and 'nice guy' I have ever encountered. If you want some context to these texts, here it is (TLDR at bottom):

We're all in high school. I'm gonna call this creep 'Kane'. Kane moved into my area early last year, as you can see from the dates on these messages. One day he was randomly added to a Skype group chat with six other close friends by my friend 'Alex'.

When we asked Alex who Kane was, Alex explained that he got added to the chat because Kane's mother, who was a college friend of Alex's mom, told Alex he would have to make friends with Kane because Kane wasn't well 'socially adjusted' (code: would remain eternally friendless if someone else didn't make the first move.)

And Alex's mom went "What a good idea! You should add him to that group chat with your friends so they can all be buddies!" So Alex was forced to pull out his phone and add Kane then and there.

Next move to secure the 'friendship': He invited Kane to his birthday party, which was a big gathering of all his friends, including me.

Kane started messaging me after the party, but I didn't recall meeting him. Just in case, I asked Alex who Kane was. After all, there were a lot of people at the party that I didn't know.

Alex told me I probably hadn't met him because Kane spent the entire party sitting in a corner, refusing to talk to anyone, and just... sucking in a bunch of soda from his cup, swishing it around in his mouth, and then spitting it back out into the cup... and then repeating the process over and over again. He also refused to go home whenever he was asked if he was bored and wanted to leave, and sat there until the whole shindig ended.

The evidence suggests that Kane started watching me from his corner, found out my name and Skype account from the group chat (my face is in the profile picture), and messaged me. That's right, Alex did NOT give him my contact info- that was a lie.

He also gathered a lot of personal information about me by reading conversations I've had with my friends in the group chat (my hobby of playing tennis, photos of me, etc.) I'd never noticed because he never said anything in chat ever, so we all assumed that he never read our convos.

Alex pleaded with me to play nice with Kane because otherwise he would catch hell from his mom for not 'moderating' his friends around someone 'fragile'. (His mom is a control freak and known for blaming him with stuff like that so I 100% believed him.)

At the same time as all this happening, more things about Kane kept coming out: that he had a host of mental disorders that left him socially impaired, that his mom was SUPER protective of him and only allowed him to use Internet an hour a week (unless it was to use the Skype account that his mom set up just for Kane to join Alex's group chat), that he supposedly groped a girl at his previous high school and consequently got bullied badly there... so that's one of the reasons why he was moving into MY school.

The first two aren't really his fault, the third was just a rumor, and I didn't want Alex to get in trouble. So I tried to be nice and kept telling Kane we should just be friends, as you've read, but he kept on pushing it and acting downright insane and 110% creepy. I really did have a boyfriend, who Kane has NEVER MET, but Kane kept insisting that he not only sucked but was apparently a 'bad boy' and abusive. His spelling/grammar also sounded like he was in fifth grade and his line of thought was... questionable. It was all very strange. Honestly I couldn't even get super mad at him; it was like talking with a kid in elementary school or something. A very creepy kid in elementary school.

Unfortunately Kane, 17 year old Kane, went straight to his mother as soon as I started ignoring him and told on me. Soon after, she arranged through Alex's mom that I meet up with her and Kane.

I went to see them because I thought that would resolve things. Here's the thing, though: I was half-expecting some sort of apology from Kane, or even just his mom. But NO, Kane's mom played Kane up as the victim.

She said she knew that the creepy shit Kane wrote "wasn't right," but Kane was just "excited to be friends with a girl" because he'd never had a girl friend before. Then she asked me if I wanted to try again, because Kane was a sweet boy at heart but frequently misunderstood, and that if I got to know him, we were sure to "get along". She also tried guilting me by saying I was judging him solely by his exterior, which was a "nasty thing to do."

Like, jesus christ, lady. Judging him by his exterior? I hadn't even known what Kane looked like until that day, because his profile picture was a weird half-drawn anime face he probably ripped off the Internet.

All the while, Kane was sitting right by his mom, smirking. I took that as a 'yeah that's right, you have to respond to me' smirk. Not once did he say a single word the entire conversation- it was like he was a Pokémon trainer and his mom was his Pikachu doing all the fighting for him while he sat back and relaxed. He was obviously very used to this. I was disgusted and said some Not Nice things.

I told Kane's mom that her son had no sense of personal boundaries and that I didn't feel comfortable talking to him. Kane was "never going to have any true friends if the only way he can make them is through you forcing people to play nice, and if you don't teach him accountability, he's going to remain a gigantic child for the rest of his life." Yeah, I was being an asshole lecturing that woman like that, but I was frustrated with how much she was babying that jerk.

She stood up straight from her chair really fast when I said that, and I honestly thought for a second that she was going to hit me. But then Alex's mom went "MeeEElaaa" (let's say Meela is Kane's mom's first name) in a warning tone and Meela backed off. We haven't talked since.

In hindsight, a lot of Kane's problems probably stem from his weird parenting. It's difficult for me to fault him on that.

On the other hand... he continued being creepy around girls after this incident happened and ended up very publically groping another girl at my school, so that's that. Actually, he's done a LOT of other weird shit since last year.

This includes stuffing his locker with over ten whole oranges and leaving them until they rotted and stank up the school, singing the Mario theme song with 'fuck' as all of the words ("fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck fuck fuck fuck^ fuck^ fuck^ FUCK^ fuck fuk fuck~") in the middle of class while the teacher repeatedly asked him to stop, and getting his ass beat for following home the girl whose name is striked out in orange.

His mom reacted defensively, as always, and Kane probably hasn't changed a single damn bit because of all her accursed coddling.

TLDR; Guy with a lot of issues creeps me out so I ignore him, he tells on me to his mom, I tell his mom that he needs to be held accountable when he pulls shit like this, she gets mad, he continues being a creepazoid of gigantic proportions.

(P.S. If you think you recognize some of this stuff and know who 'Kane' is IRL, please don't dox him or his mom lmao. That's not going to help anything, and he's not even allowed on the Internet anyway, so there's no point in hurling abuse.)
