Rape isn’t taken seriously by police and court. They view it as ‘you’re still alive, so it’s fine.’ Disgusting

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

It's not that, rape accusations are tricky, you need physical evidence. You have to GO STRAIGHT to a GP/Hospital for a rape kit before the semen/damage has healed and been washed away. A lot of people shower and obviously keep silent from shame and all evidence is lost 😞 It's also tricky because of people '' crying wolf '' and ruining it for the innocent actually being raped.

[@sarahtrees1]

I use to think that until the police did everything to help me. I’m forever grateful that guy didn’t get away with it.

I don't think that letting her spend the night other places very rarely is the way to go as long as you know the parents and the kids very well and know you can trust them. There's a fine line between sheltering your kids so much that they're unprepared for life and letting them be independent enough to potentially get hurt.

I’m sure there’s a middle way. Not letting your kid spend the night at a friends house if you know the parents well seems unreasonable.

Stories like this absolutely break my heart. They need to be teaching internet safety in schools. This man targeted so many young women and children, he found the most vulnerable people he could. Please please please be safe, don't friend strangers, when people contact you online trying to meet you, even if you've talked to them a bit, don't go. Please don't. Stay safe everyone. When I was about 12/13 and Facebook was super popular with young people, I accepted friend requests from everyone and anyone because it was seen as cool to have as many friends as possible on there, and I am still having to go through now and again and see "do I know this person?" and delete hundreds of people, deleting old messages where these strangers tried to contact me. Thankfully my parents checked my ipod every night when I was that young (cause I wasn't allowed a phone until I started after school sports lol) and talked to me about being careful with who I talk to, what I said, and what I posted. I now know that multiple men were trying to groom me, and it scares me so much for the young people on the internet today. Stay safe

[@muls9571]

I agree with absolutely everything you've said but remember this case took place in 2009 and internet safety wasn't really being taught as social media sites were still in their infancy. I remember being friends with people on bebo and other sites that I'd never met and who had like 3000 friends (now that would ring alarm bells, then it was sign of popularity) and I probably wouldn't have thought twice about meeting up with them.

My fiancé added me on Facebook, and that’s how we met. As soon as I hit accept, he was in my inbox. We talked for 3 hours. Then we face timed for 5 hours after that. We talked to each other for a month before we met. When we did meet, we met in a Pizza Hut parking lot. I had my cousin with me. He had his friend with him. People are too crazy any more. This is my fear with my kids too. I’m hoping I’m raising them right. Not that her mom didn’t, but I hope I’m getting through to them

[@beaulieuonnp593]

that was risky though, you could have been one of many at the time

[@sarahdavis5070]

@@beaulieuonnp593 I fully agree. Because someone I went to high school with, and hadn’t seen in years, asked me to hang out and I’m like yeah sure. Dude ended up raping me that night. I decided then, idc if I’ve known him for years or just meeting him, someone will know who I am with, and I will have another person with me

@@beaulieuonnp593 She was with her cousin. That's sensible, not risky.

Are you serious? She's covering a case about a young girl who was brutally assaulted, raped and murdered and you have the audacity to comment about her looks?

[@brian-pi1rq]

Flashflood The Hybrid there is comments like this all the time i didn’t think complementing elenor would be offensive to the case , and i wasn’t trying to disregard what case she was telling by saying she looks pretty 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@KezaBabez1]

I remember this story going around my school and it turned out at least ten girls had his fake profile as a friend on FB. Thankfully he hadn't contacted any of them. Left everyone feeling scared for a while.

[@Fruityflootloops]

I hate when people comment “early” but I’ve just realized I’m not sure what else to say. Damn.

[@tiiils5294]

LMAO

[@tireddaily]

I don’t think there really is anything to say considering you wouldn’t have watched the video by then lmao

[@Fruityflootloops]

Tīred Daily true! Honestly that’s a very good point. I’m not even sure why I commented.

[@jaimewilliams5609]

You could just,, not comment

[@sourjellystarz]

Best early comment ever

[@ashleysummer533]

Watching this, I realize I wasn't just catfished as a teen; I was preyed upon by an old/middle-aged man. Had my friends not tagged along to "watch a movie at his house", I could have met the same fate as this young lady. And the fact that we share the same name and similar facial features would have shaken me to the core had this not been 7 years ago.

[@ml7990]

its sad all the comments are like 'fIrsT' and 'I cLiKeD sO fAsT'. a young girl was murdered! god bless her soulxx

[@LiquidShivaz]

maisie lawn exactly my thoughts, thank you 🙏

[@ugh1230]

people probably hadn't seen the video yet tho

[@diamondmartinez7775]

I agree but I’m sure they don’t have bad intentions and comment before even watching it’s much like her having a shampoo/conditioner sponsorship in the beginning of the video. Harmless as long as they’re listening to the victims story and respecting the unfortunate situation after watching.

Girls this is why we all need to stick together and not talk to strangers on the internet.

[@Catherine04647]

Totally agree !

[@LL-ip5mm]

Agreed I once met a guy off Facebook I was 16 he was in his 20s not sure what I was thinking i also went to meet him when. I was 15 but tbh I got lost that day thank god I don’t talk to him anymore he was a creep and now I even. Have a bf whose my age and I feel much better in myself

[@mrlsdutch]

Me: yeah, there is a lot of ******up people around... 😔 Also me: finds boyfriend on Tinder 😅

[@thatoneperson9122]

Yeah, i would never meet anyone offline, nope, never! I rather be single all my life than try to mingle a serial killer in disguise.

[@lizebotha8783]

this is why no one should accept friend requests from strangers. I never do. It annoys me when Facebook suggests strangers as friends to me

[@ayybibi]

she was a child though, she really didn’t know any better. bless her.

[@muls9571]

And 2009 was a very different time, I accepted most people who requested to be friends with me on any social media sites. I was 14 in 2009 and at that age I probably wouldn't have thought twice about meeting someone supposedly my age from the internet, especially as these sites were still in their infancy and internet safety wasn't as widely taught and the dangers of the internet wasn't as widely publicised.

[@amyrichardsonxxx]

I had Facebook when I was 12 and always knew not to talk to a stranger on there :/

[@thediaryofnunu]

[@lizhunter3998]

My heart goes out to her mother ❤️ I can't imagine how she was feeling after getting that news especially when she was expecting her daughter to answer the phone 🥺

[@basedissad4260]

This story resinates with me as I had been stalked and when I brought it up with my school they ended up making me apologize to the person who was stalking me because of my use of bad language and even though I had so much evidence the person who was stalking me, he only got slap on the wrist even though he was trying to find out where I lived and more personal things about me luckily I because I tend to be private online he could find much but I really did resonate with this story. Please stay safe online guys

[@summer6100]

i hope you get justice

How did you manage to shake him off in the end?

[@basedissad4260]

Dawn Spike iv left the school and made new accounts so he can’t find me thanks for asking though

“Yeah if you’re there too”

[@annamorgan1772]

Why wouldn’t he be with him though? Huge red flag that he didn’t come with his dad right? Why didn’t she notice that? Poor thing! My heart breaks for her family. Rest easy ❤️

[@beautyandtech1515]

In from sedgefield where her body was found and remember this very well. I was 29 and my sister was 19 at the time and while I never knew Ashleigh, her murder hit me in a way that others haven’t, I hadn’t know how brutal he was with her until this video. My own daughter is 15 now and I mention Ashleigh a lot when discussing online safety with her.

[@user-ml3wk5ql1v]

your sister was kinda close to her age so i guess that could be why. it's a super sad story

[@darkangelholz]

I'm from Bishop and I've just been talking to my son about it. I know it's more usual the girl who is attacked but it still happens to boys. I used the Breck Bednar case Eleanor covered to talk to my son about it happening to boys through online gaming because he's a big gamer. I've used this one to show him how it can happen anywhere even this close to home because he's trusting and doesn't see the dangers xxxxx

[@beautyandtech1515]

Dark Angel Holz you do right, it might happen more to girls but it’s not uncommon for boys to be groomed online. It’s a child’s nature to be trusting but there’s some fucked up adults out there. I’m not that far from you, I’m in shildon now where my husband is from.

[@Leesann1987]

Recently started watching your channel...you're doing a good service to inform kids. Keep it up! They're more likely to listen to you, who are closer to their age, that their parents.
