      I experienced something really similar, at 12… 😮
      I had a teenage boy, a few years older than me (in high school) say to both me and his friends that I was the only girl to ever understand and “like” him, which made me extremely uncomfortable. 😅
      I had assumed he was a girl (due to both his profile picture of a girl and also the fact I never asked for his gender) and was comfortable talking to him that way, after finding out he was actually a man, I ended up blocking him after a few days (this all happens within the span of TWO weeks) and he just lost it. Acted depressed, saying that he lost the only girl who ever liked him and that he cared for…🙃
      He never even asked for my age, and we weren’t even close or anything. Just two weeks of talking. 🫠 I ended up relating a lot to the victim in this case. So sad to hear that so many people, like you and me, have gone through such a similar experience and yet she lost her life. May she and all the other people who lost their lives in a similar situation rest in peace.

I was 12 so I really thought like I was the bad person and deserved it but then I realized later on no he was the adult I was the child.

I'm 42 now and haven't touched anything since. All you can do is just be there for when she's ready, (it would have been a lot easier to get myself together if I'd had a support system instead of being alone after foster care, I cannot stress enough how important it is.), it may take her a few times of falling down and getting back up.. just don't give up. 💜
      Also, never give money over $6, (can't really get any drugs with that, it should be enough to ride the bus in two directions for appointments. If you give a bus card make sure it's only got enough for a few trips, you can add more online, but she can sell bus cards and gift cards, you only get usually a third of the monetary value), it's better to give groceries and necessities. Also, keep narcan in the house, you can find all kinds of places that give it out for free. I have saved more than a couple lives with it, and even if she isn't doing opiates it may be in other drugs.

      Definitely kids and teenagers deserve more protection from the adults around them - and the law needs to protect them too. It is wild to me that here in Canada, the "close in age" exception to the legal age of consent for a 14-15 year old is 5 years. That seems insane to me. Three would have been plenty. There's no justification for a 19 or 20-year-old to be messing with a 14 or 15-year-old.

      10 years ago, i turn 22 in a month; i had the same experience on Kik at 12. it’s scary. took me a while to recover from. as i got older, it made my stomach turn as i realized more and more what it all was. i was vulnerable and just wanted friends. i think kik should be taken down in all honesty. it’s definitely a lot more different on there now than it was in 2014 with being able to livestream and such and the newfound anonymity with no verifications in place.

      Same here. All throughout my teens from age 13 to 18 I dated guys that were 5 to 8 years older than me. I definitely went through an emotional abusive time and did a lot of drugs and drank alcohol whenever I had a chance. Looking back on all of it is jarring and uncomfortable. I put myself in a lot of vulnerable sketchy situations.

Even then I just didn't talk with people so I didn't pay attention to it. I was sheltered but I was introverted and kind of aware of these things. One time a man tried to convince my friend to get into his car to show him where the closest bank is and I basically stopped her because it seemed weird to me that he asked us for direction plus the bank was so close you could see it so why would we need to get into his car. Anyway he drove off without my friend.

    The fact when you logged out it automatically deleted your messages, which is why it was appealing to younger people because parents were just trying to help but we didn’t think like that

    Very, VERY unfortunately, when someone is lonely, and they get the impression that someone is attracted to them, and cares about them, The pull is almost irresistible. Even myself, at 48 years old, is not immune to the need to be wanted by someone. This is where the danger of grooming exists.

    Back when I used it in middle school and high school, there was no live feature but it definitely was filled with so many men and woman trying to convince me to send nude photos of myself. The amount of people that would threaten self harm when I initially wouldn’t agree is crazy. I had no business talking to people with those intentions. It attributed to the feeling that the only thing I had to offer was my body.

    It always really baffles me when people commit murder to cover up some other unsavoury act. Like I don’t want people to find out I’ve had an affair, am a paedophile etc etc but it doesn’t cross their mind that people will find out they’re a literal MURDERER. Like how is that not worse?! Or they have committed a separate, less severe crime and then try to cover it up with murder. Make it make sense. How are people that thick that they think they won’t get caught. So horrible for Nicole and her family 😔 it’s a scary world out there these days for parents of teenagers and for teenagers themselves

    When i was 18 I had a relationship with a 27 year old man. I know its not illegal but Jesus, as an adult looking back I realise how horrific this was. I was really lonely and having a very difficult time with my mental health due to some physical health issues I was facing so I was very vulnerable. Thankfully it was a short relationship as I came to my senses quite soon and met someone my own age. Im 31 now and cant imagine dating an 18 year old! An 18 year old is still a child in my eyes. I wouldnt even date someone younger than about 26 I think!

Well presented as always, Danielle - yours remains a favorite channel BECAUSE of the way you honor the victims of these atrocities. Stay amazing.

    this case is really hard to hear. it’s always really hard when it’s children but especially children who have already been through so much a young age. I was her as child. I was also on Kik and going online to seek relationships with others because I craved acceptance that i wasn’t getting at home or school. this is so heart wrenching and crushing to hear her worry that she’s being annoying and thinking she’s asking for too much. may her sweet soul rest in peace 💘

    I just have to say one thing. When I was in highschool I used to use Omegle for attention and knew the fact that older man were pedophiles and didn't care. I know that teenagers can't give consent but most of them know it is a bad thing to do and it is illegal. Teenagers are not that stupid

    I must also be a 90 year old inside because I’ve never heard of Kik either. This is such a heart breaking story, he murdered her because of something he’d convinced himself had happened, it’s just baffling. I hope that Nicole’s parents are doing the best they can be under such horrific circumstances and I hope the two of them do horrible time and rot in prison.

    I was also abused via kik by random pedophiles. It was so easy for them to do it. I wouldn't even know how to begin to get justice because some of them were in different countries and the whole thing is anonymous. It was sick and they 100% knew what they were doing was wrong. I was emotionally neglected at home and thought the attention that i was getting from other men meant that i was worth something. That app should be shut down.

    24 year old female here from uk and i remember using kik and omegle because my friends used it. And this was a problem even then 10 years ago! I feel embarrassed how i was so stupid speaking to people i didnt know, i really thought i knew better then! Now i suffer with trauma thinking of my past and i really feel worthless now i am a grown woman and unlovebable. Im so mad at my younger self for not knowing better and being so stubborn 😢😔😔

      I had also used Kik when I was a young teenager (also about 10 years ago). I had done some pretty questionable things because I was groomed into thinking I was mature for my age. I thought I knew what I was doing.
      Please do not be too harsh on yourself. You were a child, of course you are going to think you know better! They were the adults in the situation, they knew better. You are still lovable no matter what!

    Not blaming Nicole’s mom but this is exactly why you can’t be the “cool mom” and want to be “besties” with you child.
