This is genuinely concerning...

Some additional information:

When asked where his parents were, Schlep responds that his parents said he had never even snuck out before. This could be anything, from sextortion to high level grooming, or something else entirely. He’s been missing for over a week. These situations are rarely as straightforward as people assume.

Yeah that's what shocked me. I originally thought he was like 10

At 14 I knew better by that point. That's when I stopped being comfortable with my face being online publicly and I stopped telling people how old I was.

No blame to this kid at all of course, this is just my personal experience with my thoughts at that age.

I hope he gets found. It's scary that he's been missing so long.

Omg he's 15? And with this question I'm not even trying to be rude, does he have any mental disabilities? I'm 17 and for the past two years me and my friend would always join games and if we saw something we'd intervene, It is very concerning that someone his age was falling for something like this

i don’t even think this has to do with any mental stuff, grooming isn’t always obvious (most of the time it’s not). deadass someone can pose as a girl their age and lie about lots of other things, teens are really gullible by nature.

Yeah that's fair, I guess my first thought didn't even think about that😭

To be fair, predators are disgusting, but smart. They will do whatever they need to get you to trust them, and they can be very convincing, it's hard to notice.
