​@@LegallyMasonI agree and this is what I always say. Maybe I wouldn't be as against trying children as adults if our prison systems weren't as bad.

I was 12 when this happened and back then most kids used “Omegle” to chat with strangers this case was huge at the time and it was extremely common to come into contact with ped0s there who tried this exact thing they’d flirt and in my case ask you to bend over for them and when you did they said they took a screenshot and if I didn’t flash them they’d send the picture to my family thank god i was aware of this case and quickly ended the video call and nothing happened because i knew the requests would only get worse. If I wasn’t aware of the Amanda Todd case I think I would’ve fallen for it like so many other children did. She didn’t realize it but she literally saved countless girls from experiencing what she did it’s just heartbreaking what it cost her to do that. But she didn’t die in vein. She was a hero

[@nekowatt5945]

Kids are so mean for no reason. I don't even know why. I myself got bullied in elementary so when I moved to a new school for HS, I reinvented myself and became pretty popular. That didn't stop me from risking it all to hang out with the outcasts and losers. A lot of them were either just socially inept or are on the spectrum so I had nothing but empathy for them, but it was hard being the only one holding the fort. I was even more helpless when my family moved away and my only update was that some time after I left, was that one got expelled for being a 16 year old with a 10 year old. Others didn't feel sympathy while I who was no longer involved still felt immense guilt for not being there.

[@aikohikari6587]

Unfortunately they never grow up. The exact same bullies from school go on harrassing others in the office. Some people were just born mean. But honestly it is often because they were never punished. Their parents don’t care and teachers are too afraid to deal with it as the parents turn against the teacher.

[@flannelpillowcase6475]

But all children are innocent little blessings! They could never do anything totally self-centered or cruel! At least, thats what many adults would have you believe. All lies and willful ignorance, obviously. Kids are often even worse than adults.

[@michelle3215]

In ocean springs Mississippi a girl was bullied by girls in her school. She committed suicide and her mom put up a video about her daughter dying. Other people who knew who the bullies were and exposed them. The parents of the bullies filed a complaint about the mother of the victim and the mother lost her online account on Facebook. Now those parents are saying that mother is responsible for their kids being bullied online by others. Now the mother of the actual victim is being sued by those mothers of the perpetrators.

I don't see anything wrong with it. This is something a child went through, something they could go through. Maybe making kids realize how horrible it is will teach them to think twice before they bully others and it could just as easily be them put in that situation. Sheltering kids entirely doesn't stop this from happening. Amanda speaking up saved countless others. Kids need to be aware of the tactics used by others to manipulate them and what others may be going through. That's how we create kind empathetic kids. Sheltering them from realities doesn't let them grow up into people that can help contribute to changing that. If you've never seen a starving child and you're well fed, you would never think that starvation exists. Seeing allows you to realize that it is wrong and how awful it is for those going through that situation.

No one did ANYTHING about the bullying that was going on here (schools, rcmp etc not the parents) and it was a big issue for a lot of kids, but her having the online blackmail made her an easy target. I remember my school all being called into the gym one morning.. we had already heard the rumors but the school staff told us that she had passed the day before and ended up getting mad at us because kids starting laughing and joking (already) about how she died. It was everywhere at school for the week, for months, everyone was attacking her, blaming her and belittling her for the way she took her life. All that just to say, I've always had the thought.. if it was so extreme at my school and my social circles being a few degrees removed from her, I can't even begin to imagine how it was actually like for her.

Just willfully and blindly giving your kids up to the evils of what's on and in the latest tech. Setting up their kids to be groomed and or taken. Parents need to be more vigilant and monitor their tech usage. Also, that's the problem, trying to fit in. Amanda tried that, and look where it got her. Stick to being yourself and not some copy-paste; you don't live an enjoyable life; playing follow the leader. You have your own mind, so use and be you smh. I never fit in during school, and it was because I didn't WANT TO. I CHOSE TO STAND OUT and be unique, be me; I wasn't gonna copy all the other girls and do my makeup in the bathroom, wear all the tight pants, crop tops, shoes that cost hundreds, and long nails...like is this the club or school? LOL, yes, I was called weird for standing out, and I didn't mind, and I don't mind to this day; I'll happily be weird because guess what. Nobody remembers a literal copycat clone trying to fit in everywhere. But NO ONE ever forgets the weirdo, the weird girl standing out, without a care. ☺

[@Joomluh12]

@@askwhateverlol Where do you get off blaming a victim? Did your parents monitor your entire online life? Are they also tech savvy enough to do that? It's quite rare for those born before the 90s to know how to even operate a computer, let alone be aware of the nuances of Internet danger. Kids are also sneaky, and they'll figure out a way around their parents. I sure as hell did in 2011, by hacking a PSP to use an IRC client and web browser. You think my mother knew the device was Internet capable when she tried shutting me off? Of course not. Cases like Amanda's are what educate them, as unfortunate as that is. Nobody should have to die for something like this, but it's a surefire way to make people aware that there's even a necessity to be educated.

Why must there be casualties before government officials can take you seriously. Why can't they act on a situation with sincerity before lives are lost...

This is so painful 😢

her story always made me so sad. no one was really willing to help her. seeing all the "memes" about her back in the day use to make me sick to my stomach because she was a CHILD. she did not deserve any of it.

[@galeahavener3306]

This is absolutely heartbreaking. I cried through this. As a survivor of child SA it hit me at my core. I'd give anything to have been there for that beautiful child. Praying for her family that their story will save others and that they have the strength, peace, and comfort that can only be given from God as it goes against all understanding. I will never forget her or her story.❤🙏❤

[@androgynylunacy]

It is just sad that she couldn't talk to her mom and tell her the person was threatening her instead of complying. I know little kids are still emotionally immature as far as reason or logic goes, but her last message to her mom was, "Don't be mad at me?" That is extremely telling.... I feel for her mom, but I really don't think she knew how to give her daughter emotional support. I hope parents these days can learn and will be willing to go with their children to a therapist or social worker together to figure out how they could possibly try to help their children in situations like these. I'm glad the mom helped shut these guys down and helped others.

[@michkenpat]

Thank you so very much for doing Amanda story. I remember when she first went online and told her story, and shortly after taking her life. I was so happy when they found the person, and I am praying that this never happens again to anyone.

[@serenitysfirefly]

A small but disturbing thing about the Cappers for me is that Crashbox was one of my favorite shows as a child, and the Distraction News segment was really helpful in teaching me to focus with distractions in class (I have ADHD). Them using Dora Smarmy footage just gives a massive ick.

People need to start teaching their kids basic human respect . There is no reason to bully. I see to many kids who get bullied for ridiculous reasons. I had enough one day when my friends younger sister came home crying and I stomped outside and scared the kids who was bullying her with reality. I basically said “if she kills herself it’s your fault. “ we need to stop sugaring up the medicine and just tell kids blunty of the consequences.

[@karinaschut5159]

I live/grew up around an hour away from where Amanda lived, I’m 9 years younger than her but I remember this being talked about at my Christian school. They talked about internet safety and cyberbullying, but the thing I remember them drilling in the most was not to take or send nudes. While I completely agree with the sentiment, it does kind of skip past some of the horrors of this case, and is disturbingly close to victim blaming. I know that’s not how it was intended by my school, and we were far too young to know all the details of the case, but I wish they’d focused more on telling us to seek help if we ever faced that sort of pressure online. None of this was her fault, and I’m just grateful enough people decided to care, and they caught the evil man who did it.

[@mrjonesandme8848]

After the lockdowns my kids really struggled. The hardest question I have ever had to ask, each one, was where their head was and if they were thinking about s*icide. One said yes and one lied. I quit work (RN) and stayed home for the next year. It was a no brainer for my husband. They are all thriving now and look back on that time as "the dark days". Thankfully we live in Fla and the lockdowns were gone quickly. I may not have been so lucky if we had been in Cali or one of the other long-locked states. And that we were broke for a long time, so going back to 1 income was no problem. My kids have never had SM, even now that they are 4 years older. The loneliness of the lockdowns prompted their feelings. I cannot imagine how isolated Amanda felt. 😢 May God bless her mom and dad

[@tommyaudio]

what's concerning is how quick these platforms, (like KZbin and FB) are to cancel someone over trivial things, vs how they let things like this happen. the downfall of amanda was due to ensemble cast that includes these platforms that not only allow this horrible activity, but also fosters the bullying that then takes place. after all, the algorithm does highlight posts with more action, whether it's good OR bad!

[@C4Explore]

I hate this "criminalize the victims, victimize the criminals" mentality we have...we all KNOW the right ways to treat others and protect ourselves; we all TALK about what we need to do (and not do), but nobody DOES much of anything, except dismiss, invalidate, manipulate, gaslight, label, shame, and bully. Gotta red tape ourselves into *seeming to be a genuine, caring person, or group, but hiding behind the will and ability to decrease the value of others while never having to be held accountable for their choices and actions, and get their target to receive consequences they don't deserve. Wonder why so much of the world is so disconnected, apathetic, ambivalent, and ready to exit stage left...bet my comment gets taken down, too.
