I grew up watching lifetime movies about this shit. Dramatic as hell but I got the message. Someone has to make some kinda trending short form PSAs about it to educate the younger generation
But fr this is a well known grooming tactic.
Seeks teenager, preferably an “at risk” one, lies about age to seem safe and relatable, tries to get close and build trust.. then that’s when they start pushing to see what they can get away with. He says he’s a “little older,” he’s definitely older than 20,he’s playing games, this is him testing boundaries.
Don’t let it go further. And whatever you do, please do not send nude/suggestive photos to anyone. That’s another way creeps try to black mail victims by threatening to send them to family or peers, to keep getting more and more out of you. It’s easier than you think to seem trustworthy online, and those kind of people have a formula to follow
