I hope you do 10 years, you make me sick.

Chome.

At graduation time, he "didn't go" to his senior prom. When July rolled around, I sent him a card and a couple of gag sex gifts for his birthday.
Hmmm, one of my sisters is 53 and has a baby grandson. I'm imagining her chatting on line with and sending gag sex toys to an 18-year-old for his high school graduation.

NO, NO, NO! It's all wrong!

Even if he was 18, why would you, a self-professed "middle-aged mom and new gramma," send him gag sex toys? 18 is much too young for you to have any kind of relationship with him as peers, and the minute you thought he was still in high school, you should have disappeared entirely, from both the game and his life.

I mean, think of the situation in reverse: What if you had an 18-year-old daughter and some middle-aged man and new grandfather sent her gag sex toys for her high school graduation?

This is just all kinds of wrong, and frankly, that he turned out to be younger than 18 is just icing on the cake. You behaved in a completely smarmy and inappropriate manner given that you thought he was about to graduate high school. As far as I'm concerned, you are indeed a predator.

Yuck. Just yuck.

I'm not sure if you are just here to rile us all up but if this really happened you need some help. It won't happen to me because I don't have online romantic relationships.

Coming from all you people who probably send gag gifts to all your friends, that's pretty hypocritic. Like I said, I'm just a normal person who got conned and sucked into a friendship with someone online. I wasn't "looking for" a relationship, I wasn't "looking for" a friendship, and if I were it sure as hell wouldn't be with a kid, would it.

I'm not a predator in any shape or form. I just found someone I liked talking to and I had a blast with, I had no idea he was like that. Thanks for all the smarta$$ remarks though, really. I was hoping for a little more help and support, but I can see from the caliber of the people who made the last few posts that I won't find anyone who can do that here.

You're not a predator; you are a pedophile.

Go to jail already.

This just can't be real. No one can be this stupid and still get by doing the day to day life functions we all do... it's just not possible.

I sure as h3ll never expected anything like this to ever happen to me, but it did. And before you say well why didn't you just break it off and cut contact... what would you do if someone was slitting their wrists because of you?
I would send them a knife.

See...this is what happens when you spend all day playing video games. One looses all sense of reality and starts living in some fantasy world. It happens to young and old alike. Video games should be banned from the planet. Minds are melting as we speak.
