An absolutely horrible story about teenagers driven to suicide by online sex scammers:

In 2022, Mississippi high school football star Walker Montgomery, 16, committed suicide in a story nearly identical to Bryce’s, after he was contacted on Instagram by a “girl” who turned out to be a Nigerian scam artist.

That same year, 16-year-old Waylon Scheffer of Montana, 17-year-old Ryan Last of California, and 17-year-old Jordan DeMay of Michigan all took their lives after being contacted by East Africa-based scammers who had proxies operating in the US.

Somebody needs to be talking to these young men and explaining that there are no normal teenage girls in existence who want to see a picture of their penis. Girls do not solicit pictures of penises. Girls do everything to avoid seeing any more pictures of penises than the ones that are constantly thrust into their faces whenever they go online. Somebody needs to explain that girls aren’t boys. That there’s absolutely zero value to a 17-year-old girl in getting a guy send her genital photos. Because it’s not difficult at all.

These boys lost their lives because nobody bothered to explain that girls aren’t boys.

    from the article it seems the “girl” sends something first – an image from a girl who has been exploited or coerced. So terribly sad

    The only counter example I could think of might be a girl asking her boyfriend for one, not because she wants it but to make him feel better….

      True.

      We forbade the knowledge of the most basic things about ourselves. All in pursuit of the idea that everybody is identical to everybody else. And that there’s no reality, only words. These children who killed themselves are sacrificial victims on the altar of this belief. Like Aztecs who sacrifice children and then ate them.

    I don’t understand. What’s in it for the scammers?

      They tell the boys to send them money or they’ll post the photos publicly. Several boys killed themselves because they didn’t have the money to pay the scammers.

        But it sounds as if the scammers put the price so high the boys can’t pay it. Do they really get so much pleasure from the deaths of the boys and the devastation of their families that it’s worth going to all that bother, even if there’s no cash payoff?

          If one in a thousand pays out, it’s worth the effort. They don’t care about collateral damage: it’s a culture where only your family/tribe matters, people on another continent are just assets to be mined.

    Basically sex scammers should be flogged pour encouragement les autres. But Kid, the human penis is proportionately the largest amongst all the primates. Clearly, over time somebody clearly selected for that—now who exactly would you suggest ;-D

      We selected for it not for the purposes of looking at pictures.

      This is the difference between male and female porn, with the latter being almost exclusively read and not watched.

    LOL, Kid, I doubt that we have been literate long enough to develop us physically, so we are simply just going to have to agree to disagree ;-D
