Warning Child Predator Account Deleted


Guest

Recommended Posts

Security is an important saftey concern here. A Child predator and kiddie pornographer has been caught here Pm ing our teens users. We have deleted his account. He did manage to pm some teen users before we caught him. His information is being turned over to the FBI. When you recieve a PM that makes you uncomfortable please PM a staff member immediatly. Predators and admirers are not allowed here under any circumstances.

His ID was crackdegghead (74.135.51.167) [email protected]. This man is to be considered dangerous.

As a senior member in age, I tend to look at our young people as a mother would look at her children. Whenever some pervert behaves inappropriately toward my kids, it tends to tick me off. Well done, Laura.

I'm not defending him or challenging you, but is he really into that stuff? How was it confirmed? It seems serious. This is a bit distressing for me. This guy did talk to me, and comment on my pics. I am worried. I thought I could share my pics without being scared, since guests or non members can't see them. I'm guilty and naive though, I guess, since being a girl is new to me. I'm very impressionable and easily flattered. It's my fault for craving attention and praise and people telling me I'm pretty. I feel sick to know that a possible child pornographer could have right clicked and saved my pics though, and now they're out there. >.> I'm hoping this isn't true, because I hate to think of it. I might be in denial though. I feel ashamed, confused, disgusted, and don't know who I can trust anymore. This really deflated the great day I was having.

Hi Michelle,

Don't feel ashamed at what has happened it's not your fault, they are very clever at getting into your mind, but I have to say that with the security that is in place on here you are pretty much safe, but one will always slip through the net, and for this reason I say to everyone be very careful with whom you confide, it's best to keep personal details to yourself, there are those of us who are totally out in the open about ourselves, but not everyone is and to stay in stealth be very very careful.

Please all of you take care.

Is there any advice we can have to help out on this subject in the future...is there tips and whatnots to look out for to better protect ourselves as well?

Some of us has been on line for some time and are aware of some of the dangers...but some may not be so experienced in this...so was wondering if there is any tips that could be pointed out?

One point that we keep plugging away at, but bears repeating, never give your personal contact details out, also, there is an option on your user profile to NOT show email, make sure this is ticked please, it's one of those settings that seems to be set to show rather than keep private by default.

wow, that's kind of frightening. good job to everyone here who caught this creep. i have a younger friend with a profile on this site who got a PM from this guy, from what i saw it was really innappropriate. good to know he's been deleted and safety is taken seriously. thank you.

Honestly, people like these are masters of deception from the get-go. Michelle, any of us could have been tricked by someone like him. What is important is that he was caught, and as it stands right now, the damage appears to be minimum. Take this experience, all of us, and apply it to your lives. You now at least have a partial idea of what to look for in predators like him. Hopefully in the future, if something like this were to happen you can see it coming and get away before anything bad happens! Great job in getting rid of him Laura!

I did wrestle with whether to make this public or not. I didn't want to upset anyone here. However it is a serious matter and users needed to be warned. Predators and admirers need to be put on notice that their information will be made public and sent to the appropriate authorties. They will not be tolerated here. Remember if he's doing it to you he is likely doing it to dozens of others here too, some of which are underage teens. In this case he sent several pm's with the exact same message: "I think you are beautiful". Then he proceeded to ask for dates and members pictures. If someone does that to you a red flag and a siren should go off in your head. With each response to him he will get bolder until he asks to meet you. From that point on you could be in danger. Did you ever wonder how people like this even get kids to go with them? Who would run off with a stranger? They are experts at charm and hiding their threatening nature.

THis not the first time this has happened here and it won't be the last. We have given lots of warnings about protecting yourself here by not giving out your personal information. Few listen and our warnings just lead to raised eyebrows. You are anonymous here as you want to be. Your information is safe here. What good does that do though if users give their information out themselves? We never know what is on a users mind who registers here and we have no crystal ball. We hope people are here for support and most are. We can't start giving people online lie detector tests it wouldn't work. It is important that we remain easily accessable to those who need us in the community. This leaves us slightly vulnerable but not defenseless. Our security is excellent here and we can catch them when they make their move. You can help us catch them faster though by reporting any inappropriate PM's you receive.

This is the basic profile of a predator or admirer: They almost never post publicly (posts 0) and are almost always new users. You won't see an introduction post because they want to stay off our radar. They usually start PM'ing our users right away to the point of spamming on our radar screen. They send almost exactly the same message to everyone which is quite charming and flattering. At first it's a request for more pics of you. If you already have pics in the Gallery why does he need more. Next he asks you to offsite on a messanger program to meet and chat. WHy doesn't he use the chat here? Next he talks about dating you. Then he wants to meet. He may or may not talk about sex at first. Meeting him could put you in danger. All the while he will be charming and even respectful.

Ask yourself what he does he want to do with your pics? Why doesn't he post publicly? Instead he stays in the shadows.

If he wants a date their are many sites he can go to http://www.lauras-playground.com/trans_date.htm . Why come to a support site to date? He knows that here he is more likley to find someone emotionally vulnerable. This is why we keep Sex offenders and admirers off this site. There are tons of dating sites he can find TG's on. We have only a small handfull of support sites. This is the only one that does online suicide prevention. What better place for a predator to strike?

Please keep yourself safe. It's not everyone who is what they say they are. Some really are dangerous. We have enough problems. You have anonymity here, please use it.

Thank you very much, Laura. I am glad that you did make it public. Your previous post made utmost sense to me with absolute clarity. It was a good reality check for me and a lesson to be learned. I am glad that at least I did not give out any personal info or names.

After reading about the Predator that recently tried to capture some of us sort of speak…I began looking back into past postings…and I found a few other heart breaking things that has happen.

I am new so I wanted to look back into past postings to get a better feel of the people here. I admire how Laura has over come heart break after heart break…just to continue to believe in what she has created here…your heart Laura must be as large as the universe…and beyond.

And I for one am truly happy to see the site continue…and to see Laura’s heart flourish even more… :blush:

What I have noticed from reading past postings…Laura and everyone who helps out on the site has never asked for anything in return…other then respect…so you have that from me…to everyone. B)

Ohhhh, well even though that guy did PM me, I never felt like he was invading my privacy, he didn't ask for pics of me or anything. But then again, I didn't really give him much to feed off of, I just said Hi back and asked him about himself. But I'm not surprised at how it turned out, i was a little suspicious of him in the first place, I should have reported him. But oh well, great security, I feel really good about being here, knowing how safe it is.

Really, great work with the site as always, and I am proud to be here. :D

Love

yeah...i also inspected some of the images that were sent to some of the members here, but it's definitely photoshopped. I can point out how the lighting's weird, and the height proportion is a little off and ....i can go off on other things...but you get the point.

Either way we should all be careful. On our forums, online, and real life. We're all here to discuss too :-D

Ugh, now I am glad I said something! He Creeped me out and I guess I was not alone. Laura Thank you for telling everyone here who and what he was. I hope he is the last one to come in here.

I was wondering why he directly contacted me through yahoo where he tried to get some info from me. The red flag was when he sent his reply of just a 32 m admirer when I asked him who he was. I had never seen him here before and I wasn't going to have anything to do with him after his reply.

Again Laura I want to thank you for all the hard work you put up with just keeping this site running. You and all of the staff here are a blessing.

I hate people like that.

People who take advantage of others like that.

I don't know why, but after I read the news about the predator...I almost started to cry.

Thank you for keeping us safe, I know how much you try and care, but...I'm scared now.

I can offer this little tid bit of assistance : If you are pm'd without permission , or asked for a pm and the person doing the pm starts getting in any way personal, immediately pm a staff member and report the discomfort from the person. The staff will deal with them expeditiously. We try to catch all the bad people but can not get them all unless we have users telling us about them as they are doing their dastardly deeds. You do not need to ask an RM or Supervisor to pm(especially to report trouble). WE ARE HERE TO BOTH HELP AND PROTECT YOU . ........ SharleahLynn

hi laura, i'm still a new member and am still finding my way around. so excuse the late post. i have read this post and will be on my tippy toes. the first thing i did was to hide my email address just as a precaution. i just felt i had to say something as this concerns me too. i think this should be mandatory reading for all new members if not such a frieghting subject. i did read this the other day and running across this page again thought i'd speak what was on my mind. thank you for your site.

hugs,

      My mom found a vape of mine and this is the third time. I hid it out in the garage but she found it because I looked suspicious and now shes mad at me again which makes sense but she told me not to bring it in the house so I figured the garage was okay. But I know I should just stop but its something that I enjoy doing. I do it with my buddies and I do it alone. The one she found was a different, typically I have weed but today I had nic, but still, I know I should quit. Not because it's bad for me but because its hurting the relationship that I barley have with my mother and that's tough but for some reason I want to have my cake a and eat it too, but that isn't possible. I finally understand that phrase now, well I already understood it but now I really understand because I'm living it. and with that my mom most likely will pull me out of the school that I'm at now because that's when I started, this year. I've always had an interest in weed the way I have an interest of anything else. To me it's no different than the other things I'm interested in but this just happens to be a drug. I know I should quit I know it's wrong and I know that I'm choosing to do it, because I like it and I think in order for me to stop is to not like it anymore otherwise I most likely will continue. I know its sad but unfortunately it is true I know I'll have to quit before I go in the Marines so maybe I'll stop then. I smoke because I don't have anything else to do initially but now I smoke because I don't have anything to do and I  like it. Even when I did basketball I still was high, and I still played in fact I played better. I do everything better when I'm high I'm like a better version of myself, I can let go and let the me on the inside show on the outside with no fear, my creativity flows like Niagara falls just a contunious stream of creative output and innovative ideas that leave a good impression on others. I'm better to be around when high. I like myself better when I'm high.

      @VickySGV    Good point.  There are websites full of porn and fantasies related to cross dressing, trans stories, etc., and people might easily think those are written by TG types and accurately describe TG folk.
    • VickySGV
      No one has mentioned the Adult Entertainment Industry aka the Pornography Industry which for too long was the ONLY source of information about us for the general public.  I actually realized what I was from an XX Rated publication that I snuck behind a comic book at the neighborhood convenience / liquor store.  The person in the article told of her feelings up until and through GCS which I identified with completely, but then went on to the sob story of a marriage crashing when her knowing husband went to a new job and they found out she was Trans on a security check and threatened the husband with legal action unless he divorced her ---  yada yada!!   On that note she decided her  life was ruined. --    Other problems in the Porn Press are of course the "Morality" and it is there that child endangerment stories for actual mental illness types  comes in.  Also in that media they emphasize the Fetishistic Cross Dresser classification which is an actual addiction situation and is a harmful process addiction of sex that is as terrible as Drug and Alcohol Addiction can be.  The pornographic issues and sources of information are readily available in the opening pages of a Google Search while actual Trans information is about page 200 on the engine.   A recent misadventure I had that shows how acceptable I am as my True Self is that a man who claimed to be a church elder (minister??) told me how he had never come up with legitimate information   on Trans People and actual Trans Children and he went on to brag about what he did find that was morally damning by looking for the  information.  He continued to go into detail about other pornographic sources and how nasty they were. I asked him then why HE, a MINISTER kept looking at the Porn.  He replied to me that he kept up with it to warn his congregation of the true evils he had seen so he could minister to them.  Happily for me a friend of mine came along so I could  break away from the guy who was after my soul.  (He did not read me as Trans, whew!!)

      Just like anything else that is new it's always the thing that people fear of. People are typically afraid of change. Even something as simple as new procedure at work or the population growing. Typically just have the mindset of it's not broken then don't fix it type of attitude. The world is progressing and they need to accept that or they will eventually be left behind. A good example after WW II women working in the workforce things didn't go well at all due to a lot of butting heads. There are still even people now that think women are only meant for housework and raising babies.

      I've actually seen a lot of people who at least tolerate the LGB and not the T. There's also some of the gay/lesbian population that, unfortunately, alienate trans people away from other parts of the community.   To me, the biggest block is probably the lack of formal exposure. If people aren't taught about LGBT they will, just like any other topic, come to misunderstandings and more. Besides, how can most LGBT people figure out that they are such if they don't know it exists? I know that, personally, I didn't realize I was a guy rather than just someone who wanted to be a guy until I was introduced to trans as a concept

      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.
