For you this is somehow enough to label a person a predator (a very serious and heinous criminal) for no other reason that it "feels like he wanted to do more with the minor" and let me reiterate you have NOT seen any of the messages between these people. A pedophile should be sentenced to serve in prison but what we UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES allow is to extra juristically judge someone on no evidence for literally one of the worst crimes we know. It is such a sensitive topic for braindead people and that is why most innocent incarcerated people are accused of rape and pedophilia. These crimes happen but we need to let the justice system deal with it because our law has always protected the innocent over the prosecution of the guilty ("better 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man in jail" or "innocent until proven guilty"). If more information surfaces that allows us to make this judgment then we will do so at that time.

Eh, this situation is actually different since most other times not only is there actual evidence and shit to show it was actual sexting/grooming, but in the other cases it went beyond just texting (i.e. sharing/requesting nudes, trying to organize a meet-up, etc). The fact that theres no evidence at all compounded with the fact that both the accusations and dr disrespects tweets about it are so vague, i would say that there is a lot more wiggle room for dr disrespect here than there would be for someone on TCAP that has pages of sexual messages and actual criminal activity as evidence.

I mean to be perfectly fair, I think that the only time that an adult should have any sort of relationship with a minor is when the minor's parent and/or guardian are present and lucid/involved, or of course when the social contract requires it (school, daycare, babysitting, etc.) It's good for kids to see what healthy and well-adjusted adults are like and to see how they interact with each other, and it's good for kids to feel like they matter in situations where adults are in the room talking. Kids develop the skill to determine when something feels "off" about a situation by being around these healthy adults, and a parent and their friends hanging out can be one such safe environment. It is a horrible analogy but you can think of it in the same terms as interacting with someone else's pets. It's socially acceptable to ask permission to say hello to or touch someone's pet, to give them a treat, etc, but doing anything without permission to someone's pet is inappropriate and sets off warning flags. People shouldn't be interacting with pets at all without permission/guidance/instruction from the owner first, and there are zero situations in which sexual behavior is acceptable. Now replace "owner" with "parent/guardian" and "pet" with "kid" and it's the same message.

I kind of feel like an aunt, I'm happy to hear about your (not you specifically) school drama, give advice if I have any (depending on the topic I might send you to a teen-appropriate website for info/better resources), talk about your interests, but all with the intention of giving you a positive safe interaction, not with the intention of pursuing a friendship like I might with someone around my age. I'd never be like "omg we have so much in common we should talk more" lol If it ever feels like an adult is trying to form a deep personal friendship with you, then this is inappropriate. They have no business doing so. They should always be viewing you as a teen, not a peer on their level. Hopefully that made sense!

It’s so interesting to me how well service dogs understand that when their harnesses go on they’re on duty and as soon as it comes off they know they can just be goofy normal dogs! So so so smart!

That means we’re getting another Mogul Mail video tomorrow. You’re really outperforming that Ludwig guy

As I'm watching the OG video, this one released.... Mogul Mail has such great timing
