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 :)

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Service manager at goes through that here.One was a belt change in a 2019 Kenworth.It was written on the work order including a service done and I seen it.Customer was a complete a-hole.I did it and said he did not want that done.Shown him the original work order and finally said the service manager was right.My boss had to get rid of two customers,always complained about their bill being a little high.Price of parts went up due to inflation and had to explain this to them

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
