Hi everyone,

We’re excited to share a new project we’ve been working on: Seccora, a tool designed to help parents stay informed about potential cyberbullying or online threats their children might face.

What does Seccora do?
Seccora monitors children’s online chats and uses AI to identify potential signs of:

• Cyberbullying: Hurtful comments, exclusion, or harassment.
• Predatory behavior: Suspicious or inappropriate interactions.

When a potential issue is detected, Seccora sends alerts to parents, enabling them to step in before situations escalate.

Why we built this:
The online world can be overwhelming and unsafe for kids. As parents ourselves, we wanted to create a solution that provides proactive support while respecting privacy and fostering trust between parents and children.

Privacy is a priority.
We’ve built Seccora with a strong focus on privacy. Data is processed securely, and we encourage parents to use this tool as a way to guide conversations with their kids, not as a surveillance tool.

Try Seccora for Free:
We’re currently offering early access, which includes 3 months of Seccora completely free—no bank details required. This is our way of helping families try the tool risk-free and provide valuable feedback to improve it.

You can learn more and sign up at https://signup.seccora.com/.

We’d love your feedback and suggestions to make this tool as effective as possible. What do you think? What challenges do you face as parents or educators in addressing cyberbullying?

Thank you for reading, and we look forward to your thoughts!

– The Seccora Team

P.S. We know this is a sensitive topic, and we aim to contribute to the fight against cyberbullying responsibly and ethically. Let us know how we can improve.

For your safety, block these accounts if you use Tumblr.

I'm pretty sure I'm being targeted by her myself, I've gotten several bad faith anon asks presumably from her, and I don't even live in the US.

She especially targets selfshippers and is making the community unsafe.

Apparently, she's going after kinnies now.

I just hope she will stop this one day and realize how wrong she is, but right now she shows no signs of stopping. Don't harass her back, just block her.

Long story. Me and my ex friend we know since December 2023. We meet through my ex irl friend on discord. I've also started playing Roblox with him. Last week we've had a huge conflict like saying I don't care about him and that his dog died (Which of course is a lie,I cared about him so much) Ofc sometimes I can't respond to dms because I also do have a life and I'm busy with my family and other stuff. Today I've been received a weirdly notification from bluesky commenting to one of my posts that he's accusing me because I'm a rich guy and I do not care about him.alongside with some harassments. If you wonder who's Seb , he's my ex irl friend that he backstabbed me. I've also got some DMS from other people that this guy he's insane and threatens to death like killing themselves. I'm so frustrated that he become obsessed with me and I don't know what do. I'm living in Romania and that person lives in Detroit. I need some advice real quick.

There is a guy obsessed with me and he keeps creating profiles on my name with my picture calling me crazy and putting disgusting bios on the profile. Is there anything i can do to shut them down instagram isnt doing anything they even stopped responding to my reports Really disgusting and traumatic

long story short i met a guy online he was nice at first then he started acting like a creep and always he wants me to give all my attention to him after a while we fought over a silly thing not he's threatening me to make my nudes with ai or something he already did to some other people already I'm scared??? what should i do?? ignore him and block him?? is it matter of concern or I'm just thinking to much?? if someone knows how to ban an account or something related to it pls help with this I can't sleep so any help will be appreciated!!!!!!

It's been cyber bullying 10 months I meet random guy from Cayo hesit mission he say he can play gtaol with meI added him on QQ, and then I asked him why he chose a female character and what special fetish he had. I was just joking, and he thought I was some weirdo. He told me that he would record our chats. I saw that his game account was registered two weeks ago, so I asked him how he got to level 210. He didn't reply to my question. I forgot tell him this not first time play Cayo hesit mission The next day I invited him to join the QQ group because the group owner was going to sleep in the United States. The netizen who took me to play games couldn't play because of his network problem. I said that time waits for no one, and he got very angry. He kept questioning me, and he even threatened me that I would sue him in court. He said that I just like cyberbullying. A few days later, I found him again, and I said that no one took me to play games. At night he began to force me to buy vehicles in the game, and we had another quarrel. He said to me that he had helped me for so long but I didn’t even say thank you. I just said I love you brother, just to express my gratitude. The next day I joined a QQ group and someone said to me that you are famous brother. At that time I realized that he made a video of my QQ chat with him and posted it on Bilibili. In early February, I changed my ID and he also found it and posted my QQ number and game ID in the comment section. In early September, I changed to a rockstar profile XiJinPing. Someone found my game ID and wanted to add me as a friend to harass me. He didn’t dare to post it in the comment section because it was a very sensitive picture and he would be banned if he posted it. I call the police and lawyer for help it's seem doesn't work, the video still out there what I'm supposed to do 😔😭

so i was on my way home from an event, and i got a call from these two girls. i thought it was my friend at first so i answered, and they asked if i was a junkie, if i had a "fat nose," and just horrible things about me, but very specific to the rumors in school about me. but it didn't stop there - i got call after call, message after message, comment after comment, calling me fat, telling me to off myself, saying i had a big nose, saying i was a junkie, etc.

the thing that stood out to me most was sum1 messaged me and said "next time I think about posting other people's information on TikTok," but I never posted anybody's information on TikTok, I only have about five posts on there and they're all concert videos. I have had to turn SMS off and silence unknown callers and I am still getting messages from these people.

The other thing is these messages are being sent to me on my personal phone number, they all know my name, and they are all iMessage numbers, so they're not fake numbers from the same person. And they are all spread around the country nowhere local. I'm going tomorrow most likely to change my number but what can I do about this? Can I trace it back to somebody? I've looked up my name all over TikTok and I can't find anything, I've also looked at my Number all over TikTok and I can't find anything, so I've no idea who did it or why somebody did it because I haven't provoked anybody. Can I take this to the cops?

Me n my friend played Sing It! In Roblox, she sang a Bad Romance (just a few lyrics) ,and forgot the rest of the lyrics, and people just started hating on her for not knowing the rest. After that they constantly made jokes about her and laughed about her singing, telling her that she shouldn't sing anymore, and that she was being really sensitive throughout the whole situation. Person named MOUTHWASH, aka Hssowkfoso. Just started calling her embarrassing for trying to stand up for herself, and that she was going back and forth with the person who wouldn't stop hating on her. Hssowkfoso also called me embarrassing for trying to be a good friend. Like I know that it's just a game, but my friend started crying after the game. I don't think she wants to sing again. #Cyberbullying

The same group of people have been on off targeting me for years and it's even infiltrated my gaming experience. They're connected to someone who uses their platform to hack, stalk and try to drive people to suicide (has openly said the point is to make people want to kill themselves). This group has been possibly used by the main mastermind to do their bidding. I've blocked so many of these interconnected people for fucking years now. The issue is they know I know everything. I figured they would eventually back off if I retreated but no, they decided recently to send someone with a new name I didn't know was connected to them. They were trying to get me on voice communication to probably gain information or bait me. At this point, I just want to be left the fuck alone but obviously because I know what I know, they are fucking paranoid. They've tried to make me look paranoid while I'm just protecting myself. I've had to force people to unfollow me at some point bc they infiltrated my friends list so bad I couldn't figure out who was a threat. They've had people mimic me online which I know sounds weird but I swear on my life it's happened. I just want to be left the fuck alone.

Within the modern world, cyberbullying is a gigantic issue, and it hurts people much worse than one could imagine. A mean comment or joke online may be harmless, but for the person receiving it, it can mean stress, sadness, or even depression. Sometimes, the effects of cyberbullying are so serious that they change someone's life forever. It is, therefore, important to understand how our words and actions online may hurt others and take due measures toward its prohibition. Before posting anything online, ask yourself: Would I say this to someone's face? It is so easy to be kind online, and that could make someone's day a little better instead of worse. If you witness cyberbullying, do nothing to ignore it. Report, block the bully, or leave a supportive comment to the person being bullied. Even the smallest of actions like that alone will go a long way in showing others that bullying is never okay.

We all have the power to make the internet a kinder place. Treating others with respect online helps create a safer space for everyone. The words can cause pain, but they can also heal. Let's use our voices to spread kindness instead of hate. Together, we could be in a better position to help put an end to cyberbullying and make the internet a better place for all users.

Stop having the need to seek revenge and be kind to others.

This will make you anonymous so this will make sure that people won't know it is you. Reddit has some rules to follow when a user is logging in. Another thing that could be used is that you can block people so that you can stop their notification. I do apologize that this is happing to you guys and hope this finds it helpful. Hope that everyone has a wonderful day.

Part 1 (2021-2022) This is going to be a long story. Back in December of 2021 I downloaded tinder and matched with this guy who was almost 10 years older than me. I was going to the gym a lot and on his profile it said that he was a trainer. We would talk about meal prep ideas, workout routines, and things involving the gym. He would invite me to a lot of his shows, “UFC” type of fighting stuff (it could be wrestling I don’t know), and I ALWAYS declined. I was 21 years old and I didn’t want to meet someone from tinder who I wasn’t serious about. Also he said he didn’t have social media, and even though he said that I still looked him up on facebook, twitter, Snapchat (using a phone number), and instagram. Nothing. I was not going to meet up with someone who didn’t have at least two of those apps. We FaceTimed every now and then where we talked about our lives and what was going on in our day to day. I knew what he did for work, as he knew what I did. I have always kept my work life private before and after this because it involved kids. However, I do tell people what I do. I don’t post online keeping a digital footprint of where I work or have worked. Especially not Facebook. On one of the occasions that we had FaceTimed, he was talking to his roommate and I never saw his face but I knew that he lived with a man,I could hear the man’s voice. He left the house after talking to his roommate and talked about how he knew him etc. After about a month of the gym convos and random FaceTimes, I slowly started to move past the “friendship” that we had. I wouldn’t text back and if I did it would be days later. It was never sexual or flirty. There were multiple times where he tried to flirt or say something like “you’re so sexy” and I shut it down by changing the subject or laughing it off. About a week or two after I stopped replying, he texted and said “I downloaded Snapchat for you” because I had previously explained why I don’t meet up with people. He added me and I added him back thinking nothing of it. We snapped maybe 6 times TOTAL. He sent me a few gym pics, meals, and one of the times he sent me a picture of a little girl and said “my niece is so cute”. I don’t remember if I even replied back to that but after those snapchats I stopped replying all together. Fast forward to April 2022, I’m working and it’s later in the afternoon. Side note I had met someone and we had just started dating I get a phone call from a random number and I answer it. A lady starts SCREAMING at me “leave my husband alo-“ and I hung up because I LITERALLLLLY thought it was a scam number trying to get money out of me. I remember thinking to myself “damn they really are trying every angle nowadays, I’m glad I’m smart”. That number never called back, or contacted me again. A few weeks pass and this is when Tik Tok started showing “who viewed your profile in the past 30 days”. I went to my views because I had a notification that someone had viewed my profile and there was a beautiful blonde haired lady in a pink dress with the first letter of her name “J”. I clicked on her profile and her bio said OKC. I didn’t think anything of it. About an hour later “J” starts commenting things on my Tik Tok saying “I know what you did with my husband, you’re a homewrecker” and many other accusing things I was thinking what in the world. I tried to privately message her to try to clear the air, informing her that my boyfriend doesn’t have a wife. She blocked me. I had her full name, I looked it up on Facebook, instagram, twitter. Nothing. I was so confused. I looked her up on google. Bingo. Found her insta, Facebook, linked in, that’s when I realized that she had me blocked on everything. This is where things take a turn. She goes and she changes her name on TikTok, starts posting videos of my profile making fun of me, calling me mean things. I reverse searched that and found out it was her. This is where I turn to my boss who is an Attorney. I tell her everything because it’s gotten to the point of “J” commenting about my job (names of children), what I was going to college for, and other things that I didn’t discuss with RANDOM PEOPLE. She’s basically slandering my name, and harassing me over TikTok (I know it sounds stupid). I just felt like I was putting children in danger, and I wanted my boss to know that I was scared. My boss told me she would handle it, she found out that this lady is in her 30’s, has a little girl, and works for a huge company as a SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETER! Like Ms. Girl. You know the rules over BULLYING. She reached out to “J” and told her that if she didn’t stop that she would send out a Cease and Desist letter and speak with her boss. She came back and was awful to her telling her that she wasn’t a real attorney, I was a home wrecker, and many other nasty things. She unblocked me on instagram messaged me and goes “do you have something to say”. I replied back in the nicest way, swear on everything, because I literally had no clue who she was talking about. She blocked me. At this point I start searching my phone high and low for who it could be. It took me 3 days of going through my texts messages from the past, I click on a text message thread and it clicks in my mind. I called him and it rang and rang. No answer. He texts me and goes “who is this” and told him who I was and that his wife needs to leave me alone. We never met, we were never anything along any lines besides friends. He never replied. I had my friends look her up and her DAUGHTER was his DAUGHTER that he called his niece. After this MULTIPLE “fake” accounts of me, once I counted 12, were made of me. They’re still up to this day but I’m assuming not active. Calling me names, saying awful things, taking my photos and photoshopping them. I left it alone, reported them, and nothing came about it.

Part 2 (2023) Moving on to 2023, every once in a while a fake account would say something mean on my profile and I’d delete the comment and block the account. I was having issues with my (now ex) boyfriend (not cheating or anything, we just weren’t wanting the same things). I had just taken my college graduation photos, and posted them on my Facebook. I didn’t realize at the time but my Facebook posts were set to “public”. A day after I posted them, I get tagged in a TikTok post and this Tik Tok was EXTREMELY hurtful. They had photoshopped my face and made me look 4x as big as I was and said nasty nasty things about me. Their bio had my Snapchat (I’ve never shared that publicly online besides DMs or in person) and my instagram. The photos just kept coming. They had gone to my instagram and photoshopped photos of my trip that I had gone on and knew VERY PRIVATE information about my ex. Made fun of him but only photo shopped me. Multiple other things too. After that things called down for about a week. My ex boyfriend and I broke that next week. That weekend I went and visited some of my friends to get my mind off things. I was hanging out and I got a call from “unknown caller”. Answered it and nobody was on the other line. I hung up, and they called again. Same thing. I was like that’s weird but whatever. They tried calling again and I didn’t answer. The next morning on Saturday I got up super early to go visit my parents and when I left my house around 9am, the number called me. I answered it. Silence. I hung up. They called right back, same thing happened but this time I could hear static like they unmuted me. I hung up and they continued to call. I put my phone on DND and they called me 63 times in a 7 minute time span. They left me a super creepy voicemail of breathing and then laughing but I couldn’t tell if it was a guy or girl. I got to my parents house and they texted me mean things. I told them to leave me alone and if they called back then I’d call the police. They continued to text me and then they stated “go cry to (my ex boyfriends name)… OH WAIT”. Over and over again. I changed my number after that. After the incident things calmed down until a few months ago. they went back to Tik Tok, making accounts and commenting things. I don’t care that this person comments about my body or my appearance, yes it used to hurt my feelings but as I’ve gotten older I’ve just realized people are going to comment about anything and everything. HOWEVER, they recently accused me of using my friend as a “token fat friend”, having Trichomoniasis, accusing me of sending my dogs to the pound? The last straw was this past weekend, they made a comment about my father and messaged the guy I’m talking to on Tik Tok saying I have Trich. I don’t talk to my father or about him very often but this person knew his name….. not even my closest friends know my dad’s name. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIND OUT WHO IT IS.

I just need advice over what to do. Back in 2022 when all of the phone calls were happening, I did go to the police. However they were not able to help me, which is understandable. I just don’t feel like I should have to live in the shadows with my accounts locked for years on end. I went a whole 8 months of my accounts being private on everything, that person didn’t comment one time but I still don’t feel like someone should harass me so much I need to have it private. I also want to say I don’t talk about this with many people because in all reality… I would have a hard time believing someone if they told me this story.

Things I do know:

• This person is NOT friends with me on Facebook, instagram, or Snapchat

I know this because they only get information on public things that I post. I’ve made sure to lockdown my Facebook. I posted about my new dog publicly on Facebook not thinking about it and they started commenting about my other dog on TikTok so I took it down. Now they’re accusing me of returning him to the shelter (which I still have my dog). They never talk about Snapchat and my instagram, I never post on.

• This person watches my EVERY move
• I know there are bigger issues out in the world and I don’t want to seem like a cry baby. I just feel like I’m being stalked.
• I don’t know anyone who hates me this much.

Hello,

I am a 24 years old girl living in UP, India. Im writing this with the hope that someone of you will resolve my emotional distress or guide me to legal matters.

I matched with a 26 years old man on hinge 2 days ago who lives in my city. We chatted quite a bit in the morning and afternoon and everything seemed alright. I made this stupid decision to give him my contact number. But at night he started to become paranoid claiming that I was cheating on him as I still talked to other people on the application after matching with him as if we were in a serious relationship. Despite my efforts to console him and resolve the issues, he kept accusing me of outplaying him.

I decided to end the conversation with him to which he replied that he knows my gym, where I go on a daily basis. I had not disclosed this information to him.

I kept insisting him to tell me who gave him this information but he did not budge. He later on called me to resolve this and tried manipulating saying he likes me and is making an effort to stalk about me. He began threatening me that he works for LIU Local Intelligence Unit and can get my personal info in 5 minutes- I should not mess with him.

I tried ghosting and he replied saying my family's name, my workplace and how he would keep on sending flowers and cakes there until I forgive him. He kept on pestering me to go on a date with him saying I've no free will and I have to agree with whatever he says.

At this point I was terrified and I cried to my friends who asked me to block this person off WhatsApp, calls and messaging. Before blocking, I called him to ask him to leave my life peacefully and he replied the same again- also mentioning "tum dekhlo tumhe jo karna hai, mei dekhlunga mujhe kya karna hai apne aur tumhare saath". Im realllyy scared.

I don't want to involve the police right now as I have not told this to my family but my close friends are aware.

Please guide me what can I do to calm myself down and in case, GOD FORBID he tries interfering in my life again.

I’m being cyber stalked / bullied. They keep contacting me via “TextNow” I’ve filed a police report and contacted the apps tech support. All they can do for me is provide me with a ticket number and to keep updating them everytime a new number is made.

What can I do to obtain this persons IP address? I’m lost and confused. I just want this over with.

Long story short, my wife supports a single mom who has been going through a very hard time. She attempts to raise money through CA, battles, etc, and HAD a large following of supporters such as my wife that have literally become very close with her and her kids. As such, she learned that there is essentially a hate group that not only stalks this poor woman here on Reddit, but coordinates attacks, phone calls, doxing, home drive by's, emails, texts, and etc. If you mod, view, or support her, they come after you. They are pure evil and hate and we can't understand why they are threatening, intimidating, and doxing now-not just my wife, but me, my kids, and our lives. Has anyone dealt with such evil? It's so sad, we know exactly who some of them are and are in touch with law enforcement. But there is essentially nothing they can do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here is the link to the petition!: https://chng.it/87qymFMtyz

Hello, everyone.

I’m reaching out to all of you amazing teachers for some support on something really close to my heart—cyberbullying intervention laws. We all know how damaging bullying can be. Unfortunately, Massachusetts needs stronger laws to protect our students from it.

The data speaks for itself: cases of online harassment are on the rise, and current policies just don’t cut it anymore. We see it in our classrooms every day – the anxiety, the sleepless nights, the distraction. And let’s be real: students can’t thrive in an environment where they don’t feel safe. It’s not just a school problem; it’s a community problem.

That’s where this petition comes in. A group of us is working to get new legislation passed to strengthen intervention protocols and make schools more accountable for stopping cyberbullying before it takes a deeper toll. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or someone who cares about our kids’ futures, your support can push this issue to the front of the agenda at the statehouse.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a student project at university aimed at understanding the challenges parents face in ensuring a safe online experience for their children. With so many risks and the frequent changes in technology, we’re hoping to learn directly from parents and experts about what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to protecting kids online.

If you’re a parent, educator, or someone with experience in this area, we’d love to connect for a quick chat. Your insights would be invaluable in helping us understand how we can improve digital safety for young internet users. 

Please feel free to reach out if you’d be open to sharing your experiences or feel free to share your thoughts below!

Hi everyone,

I just found out something that broke my heart as a mom. My 12-year-old has been dealing with cyberbullying for over a year … and I had no idea. I thought I could see the signs. But it turns out this was happening right under my nose, through group chats, direct messages, and subtle, hurtful comments that left lasting scars.

My child kept it hidden for so long—I can only imagine how lonely they must have felt, feeling like they couldn’t tell anyone.

I’m not sure if anyone else here has gone through something similar, but if you have, I’d be so grateful to hear your experience. Also when and how did you find out about it? I keep wondering whether I could have noticed it earlier.

Do you actively do something to prevent this from happening, like going through the chats regularly. I have also heard about many using parental control apps to keep an eye on your child's conversations detecting harmful content.

I’m also searching for ways to prevent this from happening again. Are there tools out there that can detect these kinds of conversations? It feels like monitoring chats is a gray area, but if there’s something out there that could catch harmful words or signs, I’d want to know. I never want them to feel like this again.

Thank you so much to anyone who reads this and shares their thoughts and ideas to tackle cyberbullying. 🙏

I’m looking to interview a former cyberbullying who wants to open up about their thoughts and feelings at the time - I think it’s important we consider the psychological causes of cyberbullying and progress made since. I’m a student journalist and can assure that this will be conducted with the up most professionalism.
