These predators are despicable. As a straight guy who isn't like that, I love talking to kids and interacting with them. I have a nephew who I love to death. But you can't even say "hi" to a kid these days without seeming suspicious. These freaks are causing a change in our culture. You can see that more men are just unable to interact with kids because there's always that thought that someone is going to accuse you of something. It's a sad state of affairs for everybody that these people exist.

you’re right. this can be a rough topic for anybody who understands the stress, but it’s really cool we’ve got people who are aware and open i know my heart still races even just thinking. the truth of what happened is far fetched, but i shouldn’t have to be scared of talking about it like i am. maybe i should take notes or something

[@Chibikins]

@@pegasusrichards In my experience, sometimes it really is a matter of practice. Sometimes even just saying it out loud to yourself or to your pets or writing it out can help you lessen your anxiety so that when you are ready you know better how and what to say. It can be incredibly healing just to hear yourself say it and get to feel that you survived it and are actually safe now, and you realize that you can revisit it to work on the trauma and it can't hurt you anymore. Good luck.

I don’t know how it happened, but suddenly we were too many and some adults were playing with us, too. One of them was a football teacher and he was in his late 20s. He showed a strange interest towards me and tried to learn me tricks and stuff. He complained me a lot and i was really happy about it. Then, suddenly, i noticed that he would hug me when i scored a goal or do good. I was 13 but I STILL didn’t know what was going on. He suggested me to go play together and some other weird stuff.

I remember a time on holiday in wales, we were staying over the road from a pizza shop, my mum sent me to the pizza shop for food, I come out an this old creepy guy said hey kid, there is a car down here that I think needs a push, can you help me push it, me being 12 thinking i was he man said yes, we walked an walked an walked a bit more, still clutching the pizzas, we came to this car in a lane, as we got close he lunged at me, then an only then I thought shiiiiit, threw the pizzas an got on my toes, I ran to the nearest caravan an just burst in, he was chasing me, the people in the fucking caravan kicked me out, I couldn't talk I was that panicked, when I went in the van he span round an casually walked the opposite way, he seen me come out then proceeded to chase me, but I was 12 an could run then, I got back to were we was staying an my mum said were are the pizzas, I still couldn't get my words out but she knew something was up, I calmed down an explained, my uncle took me out to find the man, as we walked down through the caravan park he was hiding in between the caravans, my uncle gave chase an caught up with him, my mum had already rang the police, the creepy fucker then produced a kitchen knife on my uncle, but he must of been 60ish my uncle being 35 an filled with rage engaged hiM, managed to get the knife an throw it then proceeded to knock seven bells out of him an kept him there till the police came, I will remember that day for the rest of my life, clear as water, I shat myself, rip uncle he died a few years later.

I can't remember what he said but it was enough to spook me out enough to want to leave the situation so as soon as he said it I picked up my ball and crossed the field to where there was a family sitting on a bench. I waited for the truck to pull away from the school then went down this path next to the field that lead to the main shopping area in out town and then walked home.

When I was like 14-15, I was hitchhiking while riding my skateboard to meet up with a friend a few miles away. Some guy stopped in a truck so obviously I took the ride like an idiot. I got in and he looked like a normal guy in his mid 30s but something just felt off, I can't really explain it. He said he had to make a quick stop to meet a client on the way and after he did, I was starting to relax a bit once he was back on the road. He was just asking me normal stuff then he said something like "So, you don't seem too worried about hitchhiking, probably got people worried if they try anything you're gonna hit them with that skateboard right?" so I told him"yeah, I guess..." and just kinda ignored it. Once we were getting towards the location, he turned down another road and said "Just need to make one more stop right down this road then I'll drop you off." My gut sank and as he was slowing down and turning, I grabbed for a knife but didn't show it then used my other hand opened the door. I said "I'll just walk from here" as he slowed down on the turn. I started getting out of the car while it was still moving with my skateboard under my arm as he pulled over to the side. I managed to not fall jumping from a moving vehicle but definitely stumbled a bit as he stopped next to me. I still had a knife hidden but was ready for a confrontation when he just looked at me and kept saying "Are you sure you wanna walk? Are you sure? Are you sure? It'll take me just a second..." I just said I was fine because my destination was only like a quarter mile away. He got real serious all the sudden and said "Be more careful hitchhiking, you never know who's gonna pick you up and maybe they won't let you leave next time. Seriously kid, maybe next time you won't make it out in time. Btw that little pocket knife you think you're hiding is only gonna piss someone off, it won't save you and neither will that skateboard..." then he just started laughing and drove away. Don't know if he was crazy or was maybe just fucking with me or actually was trying to kidnap me but I'm glad I jumped out of that truck when I had the opportunity! I'll still pick up hitchhikers but don't remember hitchhiking myself again after that.

I'm usually pretty good at being able to judge people and if they're hitchhiking and come off as normal, I'll give them a ride if they going my way. Usually they're just normal people with no license cuz of DUIs and they're so thankful, they almost always end up giving me some weed or money or something for the ride. Almost always was an alcoholic too. There's been lots of people I didn't stop for too, all depends on my gut feeling and if anything feels off, I'm not risking it but if I can tell it's just some drunk who's trying to get home from work quicker, that's different. Hitchhiking really started as something where in the 50s and 60s people weren't all that worried about their neighbors but after Ted Bundy, people got paranoid about it. Guess for me, I'll usually size the guy up and it's not uncommon for me to also have a friend or 2 in the car with me. If he did try something, there'd be people coming at him with knives or maybe even a gun from all sides... Not saying it's not risky, guess I'm just someone who likes helping others when I can and I'm not that scared of something happening but so far I've been lucky in terms of who I've stopped for. In my teens, people gave me rides all the time hitchhiking and except for that 1 time, it was just normal, helpful people. Honestly I'm just trying to pay it forward to the next man now that I got my license and a car. Anytime I've been to Europe, I've noticed people tend to think it's weird for strangers to even talk to them. I think a lot of it just comes from the culture difference where Americans lots of times are very helpful and friendly even with people they don't know. Not saying I haven't met people like that in Europe but they were just a different type of helpful and friendly.

Thank you for sharing your stories. We don’t hear enough about what these stories look like, especially for boys and young men. It’s important to know how these things happen so that we can educate our kids and try to protect them best we can. Thank you

thisisnothappening you can’t take guns away bro it’s a constitutional right but I do believe we should restrict when people can own guns tbh cause 18 yo is to young imo a long with that mentally ill people shouldn’t own guns either

This is so sad that they have so many "i almost got raped" stories 😐

[@dewilew2137]

Courtney C it is sad. It’s even more sad that for every “almost” story that a man has, a woman has two or more, but without the “almost”. Women get scared into silence and when we finally say something, no one believes us.

It was a rainy night in 94, some friends and I were in the park late playing in the wooded section of the playground. I remember the feeling of horror as we sat silent and looked into the woods as we heard sticks breaking to the sound of heavy footsteps. We all froze looking, rain running down my face and I remember the guy with the white hoodie that stepped out of the woods and yelled "IM GONNA GET ONE OF YA'S" I dropped from the tree branch I was on and ran like I had never before. All I could hear was his heavy breathing as he chased after, and I remember I was going so fast I felt confident to look back as I neared a street in a close by neighborhood and to my horror he was right on my heels, I continued running until I saw a family going inside with the porch light on and yelled for them to WAIT! And the dad turns and starts running after this guy enough to scare him off, they called my mom and I was home safe soon after. I'm glad he chased me because I was the fastest of all the kids there and I hate to think what would have happened had he went after one of the girls. To this day we never saw him again. He looked like a vampire or someone with a virus you see in movies. Worst night of my life.

My foster mom wouldn't let me join boy scouts, she wouldn't tell me why. A couple months later. She got all of us together and showed us the news paper. Scout master up the alley going to prison. Happened early 70s. RIP. MOM.
