Would this be an appropriate situation to resort to calling the cops?

Asked by eLenaLicious (822points) February 14th, 2010

Okay, well this 18 year old boy on facebook added me and like five other of my friends who are my age (15).
We started texting and he seemed pretty friendly at first, but then he kept asking if I could come down to his house and f***!
My other friend just now told me he kept texting her and telling her the same thing!
We are pretty ticked off right now! I have already blocked him from facebook and I am wondering how to block his number from his phone (or I will simply just ignore all his texts/calls).
Do you think it would be appropriate to report his ass to the cops?
He is harassing young girls and attempting to engage in sexual intercourse! Do you think I should just ignore this guy and I am just over reacting? What should I do?

Tell your mommy and daddy before going to the cops.

Have your parents call your cell provider to see if they can block him.

Suggest that he watch the film, “Hard Candy”. Tell him it’s your favorite.

If he knows you are 15 then yes, call the cops and set him up just like they do on TV. He should know better and if you don’t do it then some other naive girl may ruin her life by falling for this chump.

You are NOT over reacting… if you are speaking the truth.

Report him and cooperate with law enforcement to get his stupid ass off the web before some other innocent girl gets harmed. You have every right to do this.

It’s not funny. It’s not cute. It’s not right. The dude needs to be held accountable before someone gets hurt. He wants to commit a crime. I think he already has.

You don’t even know if he’s 18 for real. He could be a 40 year old perv! Get his ass busted!

This is a federal crime. You need to report him to your local police (or the city in which the crime took place) and the FBI. On the FBI’s homepage, at the very top left of the screen, you can submit a crime tip, or report an internet crime (I recommend you do both)

@Sampson That was a terrific movie!!!

Absolutely, call the Police. He’s trying to get a minor to consent to sex… which means he’s a freak & a pervert… & chances are he’s probably some 40yr old pervert & not an 18yr old anyway. Get him busted where some 250lb Jabba look-a-like can make him his bitch!

Tell your parents. Take your phone number, address, and age off of Facebook for heavens sake. Yes, report it to the police. If you do not feel like the police are going to seriously investigate, call your local FBI field office. There are Federal laws regarding this type thing as well your state’s laws.

Have your parents call the police in case he isn’t a 15-year-old boy.

Also, please do not add Facebook friends that you don’t know!

This is a classic example that Facebook is shit, and why add someone you don’t know? That is just looking for trouble.

The Joker’s right.Tell your parents and report him to the police.

Report him. His behaviour is inappropriate and may even be a danger to you.

Berserker's avatar

You can report him, I’m pretty sure that’s a legitimate reason.
On the other hand the Internet is so full of places and people like that, usually not much is done aside from you being told to turn off your computer. :/

@Dibley actually, I did not add them. If you read my description carefully you will notice I said THEY ADDED ME!
I just accepted because they seemed harmless and nice :P
but then again, you can never be too sure.

Tell him you will call the police. Explain that if he is a minor, his parents will find out, and if he is of age, he will be looking at a lot of very bad charges that will be difficult to explain his way out of.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Why haven’t you called the police yet? Why don’t we have an update of him getting busted? Why must this turn into a pleasant little conversation when someone has broken the law and would have done the same with ANY UNDER AGE GIRL IN THE WORLD!

It’s not a YOU THING eLenaLicious. He’s out there right now messing with some other teen agers head. Do you want her to get hurt?

Do you think that you are the only one “he kept asking if I could come down to his house and f***!”

If you are telling the truth then get this jack ass off the web and busted in jail before he HURTS SOMEONES DAUGHTER!!!

eLenaLicious's avatar

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies yes, I know!! I called the police today during recess and I will have them over my apartment tomorrow to speak with my parents since my father is working over time today and my mother always turns to him when it comes to people visiting our house…
and yes, preventing other girls from getting hurt is my NUMBER ONE MOTIVE for throwing his sick ass in jail!!!!!!!!!

@eLenaLicious Good on ya girl…!

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Perfect girl… that’s all you can do. Believe it or not you will be a better person for this in the long run. Believe it or not, the Perp Perv will also be a better person for this in the long run. It may cause some immediate pain and suffering, but those are the very things that can lead to strength and character.

The world is always a better place when Truth is your companion.

Great Job! I’d love to get updates.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies definitely! I should have this solved by the weekend hopefully….
