I’m not victim bashing, forgive me if this comes off that way. My home life growing up was similar because my Mom would call the police to my home whenever we argued and it began at this age. My Mom was manipulative and gaslighted me so when she would involve the police it was after she worked me up so much and used it as a threat to show her power. When the police came she was the victim and I was the out of control teen. It was awful. I am not saying that’s the case here, but it seems a bit excessive to have the police involved so often and for that reason.
When my second son down was 14 he could quite easily be found exploring all sorts of stuff online purely because it was prohibited!,I asked him about it once,he was very sheepish but I told him i just wanted to know how to access it and what I could find there,like could I hire a hitman for instance?(scared the beejesus out of him with that question),anyway long story short,yes he had been on it,yes it was easy and not so easily traceable(doable,but takes time),yes I could hire a hitman (WHY MUM??) and no,nothing nefarious,just curiosity on his part.
I guess it depends on the kid.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. I struggle all the time with trying to be sure they are fine and they are old enough and responsible enough, I still don't want anything to happen to them. My daughter and grandson live 1700 miles away. They are on my Live360 app so I can be sure that there isn't a problem or concern if I can't reach either of them. My daughter recently went to LA to a concert for 4 days and even at 33 I made it perfectly clear that I was tracking her every movement and expected to hear from her a minimum of twice a day by a phone call, not a text. I guess being on WS for the past 7 years+ has made me a worried parent/grandparent.
I (kind of traced) one of those people down, via a friend (probably internet friend) who streams gaming on twitch. The madden game does actually come up in conversation, so I actually believe there is a understandable link between those people and HD. Regardless of whether it was inappropriate
YES!!!
Microsoft has done quite a bit to help track down pedophiles. A few years ago there was an officer in Canada that had to go through thousands of child *advertiser censored* images daily to catalog them. Out of frustration, he sent an email to Bill Gates. He received a reply from one of his admins a few weeks later and they developed a digital fingerprinting program that could catalog all of the CP images and track other cases that had the same images. They took it a step further and had that tool scan online file share sites. My brother is LEO and he got a call from the FBI and Homeland Security stating that one of his guys on probation had one of the largest caches of CP including files they had never seen before which they suspected he created. The FBI said it could take a couple of days to get a warrant, but he was on probation so my brother could visit him any time. He went to his house and knocked on the door and said he was coming in. "Oh, and I brought some friends along..." That's when the FBI and Homeland Security popped out.
Do we know what HD's attendance was like? Was this common for him to miss school?
