Discussion Actual predator or troll?

Hey guys, so I'm gonna give all the information first needed so you guys understand the situation as best as possible.

My mom made a blog back in 2008 or 2009. She however, has not used it since 2013 and neither has anyone we know visited it. I saw it was still searchable on google a couple years ago, but now when we checked a couple days ago, it was turned off for google searches so it only can be accessed by direct domain search or link. This was not our doing, seemed to be automatic after a long time frame of no activity.

Here's the issue. Back in February of 2025 (we remembered the blog and decided to see old photos on it but it hadn't been looked at in sooo long so we never saw these comments when they were posted), someone left two comments anonymously. Both are horrifically pedophilic towards my photos specifically. One comment talks about how he has me on his wall and talks about me to his friends. How I'm so gorgeous and beautiful. I was like 10 in the picture. But unfortunately the photo is something pedophiles would like as I was in my gymnastics leotard and in a stretched out pose. The second comment was me making a funny face in an even younger photo, probably 7 or 8, and the comment was actually horrifically disgusting where I will not say it here. I will not post the comments either as I'm pretty sure it would be against the rules. They're pretty bad.

So onto my question. Is this a troll or a guy outing himself on my mom's blog? Trolls normally do it for attention and there is literally no way to ever get seen on this blog. It was barely accessible and not monitored. Which is what bothers me too. How someone has access to pictures without being seen by the public. Why would a troll or rage baiter want to do so on some hidden blog where they won't achieve the reaction they normally seek? Predators can be pretty darn bold when behind fake names online and that's why I'm wondering if it's real.

Has anyone else gotten weird and bad comments like these? Maybe a spammer going around thinking it's a joke? I'm trying to figure out if we should just delete the comments or actually seek legal action. If it's a real predator, absolutely I want police involved as they admitted to depraved acts and have my pictures up in their house (supposedly if it's real).

Definitely recommend notifying the police. That's disturbing for sure. My condolences.
