The fact this case was swept under the "bullying" umbrella is appalling. Growing up I always thought she flashed one of her friends or some guy from school, nobody ever talked about how she was stalked, harassed, and brutally blackmailed by pedophiles to the point of moving multiple times. It's a very misunderstood case and I'm glad to know the real story. I hope her soul is resting now and that those who did this will burn.

[@victoriaescobedo5458]

I've thought about the same thing, too, and then I watched a video from AGuyfromMars about the creep from across the sea that blackmailed Amanda Todd into doing inappropriate things and tormented her for the rest of her life, but to find out that not only him, but a ring of creeps like him on the internet were in on her torment just makes me angry Edit: AGamerfromMars, not AGuyfromMars

[@alissaclark10]

Today was the day I learned that it in fact was not someone from school. Went my whole life thinking it was someone who actually knew her from the same area.

[@maddymooo]

I always thought she sent nudes to a classmate and they spread them. Which caused her to be ostracized. Had no idea she was a pedophilia victim.

[@Starburst514]

Same here. Really reminded me about that era of the internet and the response most people had to cyber bullying in general. When I first heard about Amanda she was brushed under the bullying umbrella and every adult, and even fellow kids were talking About how it was partially (or all) her fault for "messing" on the internet. There were videos of people parodying her flashcards video on KZbin. Tosh.0 even went in on it. And that was just the general air towards kids who committed suicide. Even the news as they reported seriously there was a feeling by the reporter that they didn't really think it was serious or they were looking down on the kid. I thought Amanda's case was just bullying, but it was so disgusting and devastating and it got buried and minimized by so many people that it's not common knowledge what really happened, and it should be.

Another unfortunate part of this story that's not really known: Her autopsy photos were leaked and spread on many dark web sites. Even after taking her life, people still, disgustingly, found more ways to torment her after death. It truly shows how horrible people can be online, and it's beyond sad what she went through in life, and even after death.

[@bhperfig349]

theres an article from 2012 saying the RCMP investigated the claim that her autopsy photos were leaked and it wasnt true and no photos were leaked. so im assuming someone just put out random dead body photos and said it was amanda. I found an page where this sick person was talking about it and saying horrible things about amanda. but they and the other members of the page concluded the picture isnt amanda. And another article I found from CBC news says "Thiessen ( the police sergeant at the time) said that another rumour suggested autopsy photos had been leaked - a false story that caused Todd's family extreme stress. No autopsy was performed on the 15-year-old.

[@MrComicallyBad]

@@bhperfig349 I guess that is hard to dispute. It was probably 5 years ago I saw the photos. I remember pulling up pictures of her side by side and saying “wow.. it really is her. That’s horrible..” Hindsight, it could have been very well photoshopped. A lot of similar photos get leaked by employees or compromised systems, so it’s easy to assume it to be true.

[@bhperfig349]

@@MrComicallyBad Yea. There was no face in the photos though. Just body. The reason people thought it was her was because the body looked to be that of a young girl and had rope marks on the neck and such.

A very sad update to this story- Amanda's stalker just had his sentence cut to only 6 years in prison. He continues to show no remorse and has still never apologized to Todd or her family.

Just a reminder to teens out there; Any explicit photos of you out there are nothing too embarrassing to tell somebody. You are unlikely to face legal repercussions especially if you are being blackmailed (in the USA). I promise you it is embarrassing in the moment, but it's so much better to have support (personal and legal) behind you than trying to face this alone.

They usually try to think of the most vulnerable people they can ruin and go after them relentlessly, usually women and children, most often both, then they act cocky about it to make themselves feel like they're "Cool" for distributing an underaged girl's photos to the entire internet and harassing her to the point of killing herself so they can feel even more like they're super cool and evil and have the power to manipulate others. It's dangerously pathetic in every sense of the word, and this all probably applies to people like racists, queerphobes, serial killers who kill and then act like smarmy bastards, people like that.

These websites have been regulated a little more too. I wish they'd shut up about "the nazis" and "disinformation" and focus on getting these kind of people not only offline, but off the streets and in prison for life. I remember BlogTV back in the day. I'm sure there were probably hundreds, maybe even thousands of kids who flashed or did what would be classified as CP. Instead of making sure Alex Jones is never allowed to have a pinterest account so he can't post about the goblin vampire pedophiles, they should be allocating all their efforts on the actual pedophiles and child abusers/groomers.

Yet we're still so far behind. No dating app should allow anyone under the age of consent, but they all do. If I were a pedo, I bet you i could find a dozen underage girls tonight on any of the major hookup/dating apps. All romantic apps should require verified ID. That way, nobody stealths, does any bug chasing, or rapes anyone and gets away with it. Anonymous should be for internet browsing and comment sections only, not for intimate personal connections. If you're going to be a slut, everyone should be able to know. You're still free to be one, but we should all have the right to know in case we want to hook up with or date you (not you personally lol).

Frankly, given how many kids are still prayed on, I would be okay if lawmakers put an age limit on when one can use the internet unsupervised. I had a scare with my cousin who is only 11. As the family tech person, I was helping her with an iPad issue and caught her on Roblox with her age set to 18. She was trying to get content that her friends were playing (usually horror games) but that could have opened so many dangerous doors that she had no idea about. I had to sit her down and explain how dangerous that could have gone if she met the wrong person online. The internet is just too unpredictable for kids and it worries me a lot.

So absolutely heartbreaking. I was completely out of the internet loop in 2012 for several years because that’s when I was having babies. Now my oldest is almost 12, close to Amanda’s age when all this happened, and I am absolutely shattered for her. Little did we know how dangerous a time it could be in the internet. I was a fully grown adult in 2012, and thought the internet was “safer” and “more sophisticated” than my days on AOL instant messenger, livejournal, and message boards. Really we were still in the infancy of the internet- or maybe the internet was more like a wild, angry teenager itself. It’s fascinating and terrifying how when we are living through something we don’t even fully understand it until much later. Thanks for making this video, you did a great job with this somber subject matter.
