Throwing the deuces
My sister emailed me this morning to let me know that she had the police at her house until almost midnight. Apparently her daughter was contacted through the computer game Mine Craft by a boy posing as a suicidal girl who needed to talk to my neice. Unfortunately, my neice gave this person her cell number. He emailed pictures of an arm that was all cut up and said that "she" had done that to herself and wanted to die. My sister found out and called the cops, not knowing if this was a pervert or not.
While the cops were there, the boy skyped my neice and that's how they found out that it was a boy posing as a girl. My sister didn't give me all the details but the police got the boy's phone number (He lives in Canada) and contacted the mom. Mom said that the kid had mental illness problems and was hearing voices. She also found disturbing pictures on his phone and was planning on taking him to the doctors.
Needless to say, my sister had yet another talk with my neice about the dangers of giving personal information to strangers over the Internet. Hopefully, after this experience, she learned her lesson.
