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,

sheila :)

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?

      Both of my parents were from the “North Shore” of Boston.  My mother Lynn and my father Swampscot.  They had an early 1900s Scots-Irish New England diet.  My sister and I were born in the 40s in Ohio well away from New England seafood and in an area where food was more German and Polish.  My first experience with liver and onions was during basic training.  They ate salt cod but never forced us to eat it same with oysters.  My dad ate oysters but my mother wouldn’t.  Anyone who ever ate an oyster can figure that one out.  I grew up eating lamb.  My wife won’t touch it. I love brazed ox tail, again no way. And the list goes on.

      My mother was German, so yes, I think it was a cultural thing.  If I'd known you when we were cleaning out my mother's place, I could have sent you her "threat jar".

      Been taking it real easy.Another good neighbor of mine and his 15 year old son came over and cut down a couple dead trees on my property.Knew not to do it taking it easy.I had them put the wood near my fire pit in the back yard.Did it and happy where they put it.They knew I had stents put in and needed to take it easy

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.

      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out.

      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.
