Hackers say they’ve found Amanda Todd’s tormentor


The “hacktivists” are part of the group Anonymous and say they have found a man in his early 30s from New Westminster, B.C., who allegedly blackmailed the 15-year-old girl for pictures over the Internet.

Anonymous, named one of the most influential people of the year by Time Magazine, posted the man’s name on the text-storing website Pastebin. “At the most this is the person who did this to Amanda Todd and at the least it’s another pedophile,” their post said. The hackers have also released a video on YouTube.

The group says the B.C. man visited a teen chat forum that claims to offer sexual advice for teens and a photo gallery called “Jailbait.”

So-called “jailbait” boards are scattered throughout the Internet. Dozens of users on the popular social media website Reddit refer to themselves as “ephebophiles” – adults who are attracted to teenagers. The “Jailbait” section of Reddit was created by one of the site’s “most active contributors,” says one Reddit user. The section has since been deleted.

Anonymous is a loosely organized group of hackers and activists from around the world who have been responsible for several high-profile cyber attacks. Two years ago, the group attacked MasterCard, PayPal and Visa websites after they refused to accept donations to WikiLeaks.
Police told The Canadian Press they were aware of the Anonymous claim.

“I'm not going to speak to anything beyond the fact that we are aware of what has been put on social media in regards to that name,” said Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesman for the RCMP.
Amanda’s mother, Carol Todd, has said police have been investigating leads about the Web stalker.

“Police investigated and investigated, it got traced to somebody in the United States,” Carol Todd was quoted saying by the Vancouver Sun. “But they never found him. Those people are very good at hiding their tracks.”

Said Thiessen: “We are following up every piece of information with the hope that we can gather enough evidence to lay an appropriate charge against those that we feel may have played some role.”

So much online has emerged about this guy.

"The man who Anonymous identified as Todd's bully appeared in court on Monday on charges of sexual assault and sexual interference with a minor, unrelated to Todd, CTV reported. The man claims he was Todd's friend and pointed the finger at a New York man who was harassing her."

I couldn't write more this morning because I had to get to work but, like madman, I too feared the strap which was sufficient cause for me to behave....I know one time I was being a brat and got called into the principal's office....he pulled out "the strap" and smacked the top of his desk with it.....the snap was so loud and so hard that we both jumped out of our skins....he said "one more time, and that is going to be your ass"....did we misbehave again? nope, NOT on your life.....

Yes, parents have to be aware of what their kids are doing online....

Yes, they automatically defend junior no matter what, unlike my parents who would find out what happened, and hey, they KNEW me, listen to my story, and if it didn't add up? I'd get it worse when I got home....now they went ovecommunity at times, but we didn't misbehave at school, that's for fricken sure.

Now, I can see how it's gotten worse. I've mentioned this before how two "toughs" used to wait by my bike after school, and when I unlocked it they'd steal it, riding up and down the stairs etc for 30 minutes almost daily. We called the school, they did nothing. We called the cops, the "toughs" were known to them and we were told "they come from a troubled family" Big fucking deal, go over, tell those fuckers that if they touch my bike again, they'll be charged with theft.....they didn't do shit, and that was 40 yrs ago.....

Even during homeroom, right in the class, they'd be pestering me, the teacher would tell them to shut up, that was it.....

This is why it's a good thing I'm not a parent. If my kid was being bullied online and in real life? I'd take the day off work, go to school with them, have them point out the little shits and I'd confront them. I'd say "leave my kid alone. Stay as far away as you can. If I hear of you bullying, hassling, teasing, or confronting them again, I'll come back and break both your legs."

When the police came to my door I'd say simply "either you protect my kid or I will, obviously you're not so I have to...."

All this bullshit about violence isn't the answer, well, it will sure answer a LOT of issues, maybe not all, but at the very least my kid will/would be able to go to school and be safe......

I had a question though, If this young lady was being hassled online, keep her offline......problem solved. Delete facebook, twitter, msn, whatever.....then how can they touch her? I know....THEY COULDN'T.....

https://www.torontosun.com/2012/10/16/cruel-amanda-todd-comment-on-facebook-costs-ontario-man-job

WHITBY - An Ontario man has lost his job at a men’s plus-sized clothing store after posting an offensive comment on an Amanda Todd memorial Facebook web page.
The man, who the company wouldn’t identify, was an employee at a Mr. Big & Tall, confirms a Grafton-Fraser Inc. spokesman. The man, initially believed to be from Toronto, worked at a London store and was identified by local media as Justin Hutchings.

His offensive post was brought to the attention of the firm by Christine Claveau, a stay-at-home mom who lives in Calgary.
She was on the Todd memorial page Sunday when she noticed the post, which she says read: “It’s about time this b---- died.”

“That one made my stomach turn,” Claveau told the Toronto Sun Tuesday. “I couldn’t believe someone would say such a heinous thing.”
Todd is the B.C. teen who took her own life after falling victim to cyber-bullies.

Her death has catapulted the issue of teen suicide and bullying into the global spotlight and a number of tribute web pages have sprung up on Facebook.
But those same pages are also spawning a backlash directed at Todd even after her death.

Claveau said the man's post upset her so much that she clicked on his Facebook profile, where his job title and employer were prominently displayed.
She then wrote the company an e-mail, detailing his online conduct, but said she didn’t ask that he be fired.

“This company works with people who would probably have some insecurities about their bodies,” she said. “To think that someone so cold and crass could say something like that on a Facebook page, I can only imagine what he’s saying about the clients he probably deals with.”

Claveau said the company replied, saying it had taken action and condemned his comments.
When reached by the Sun, Kamy Scarlett, a spokesman for the company, said they took the action they felt best represented their ethics.

“We have zero tolerance for the mistreatment of others no matter what form it takes,” Scarlett said in an e-mail.
Claveau and two other women from Calgary have started their own Facebook page to fight cyber-bullying and are reporting the hateful comments they find to the social networking site and the RCMP.

Lindsay Ulsifer, one of the pages co-administrators, said they had been accused of “bullying the bullies,” but they want to help others who feel, like Todd, that they’ve lost all hope.
They also want people to know they can’t spew hate and hide behind their computers, Ulsifer said.

“Facebook is not as private as you think,” she said.

See? terms like "bullying the bullies" is what all those pc do gooders think and don't realize they are just as guilty of what happened to amanda as those who actually bullied her. Bully the bullies? String them up by their balls...or tits...as the case may be.

I heard about the guy getting fired on the radio, good on the company for standing up for what's right........he deserved it...(btw, I don't know what he wrote, but it must have been pretty bad.....)

He wrote something to the effect "bitch is finally dead" . I don't blame the store where he works for letting him go. It would kill business if they kept him.

Amanda Todd: Online group Anonymous now accuses U.S. man of tormenting Amanda Todd

The online group that claimed to have unmasked Amanda Todd’s tormenter has changed its target to a new suspect, a man located in Wisconsin.

Anonymous took social media by storm earlier this week by posting the personal information about a British Columbia man, alleging he was the one who blackmailed 15-year-old Todd.

Todd committed suicide last week after suffering relentless bullying — both online and in-person — stemming from an incident where a person spread topless pictures of her across the Internet. Anonymous, a loose collection of vigilantes, tracked down a man they believed responsible but B.C. police have called their allegations “unfounded.”

The most recent post by Anonymous contains fewer details about the newly accused than the original, and nothing that directly links the named man with Todd.

The man first named by Anonymous is facing charges in B.C. stemming from an August incident of alleged sexual assault against a victim under 16. A representative for Anonymous, who refused to give a name, told the Star the group “didn’t care” if it was wrong because the man had been accused of similar crimes, though the charges are still before the court.

The man’s lawyer, David Gable, issued a comment saying that the RCMP has cleared the named individual in the Anonymous report:

“Police have announced he is a person of no interest to them regarding Amanda Todd. His thing came about through an anonymous group that hacked in through a computer and got a lot of IP addresses, his being only one of them.”

My parents were the same growing up. If they got a call from the teacher or the school I was dead. The punishment the school would give me would pale in comparison to what my father would do to me. As immigrants to Canada they would see it as shaming the family and that was horrible for them. There is no shame in society anymore.

On another bully story. This is getting way out of hand.

Police tell woman to move. Quote: “He just looked at me and said ‘You should move’,”

https://www.torontosun.com/2012/10/17/bullys-attack-forces-toronto-couple-to-move

Vanessa Disbrowe did exactly what we’re all told to do.
She stood up to a young bully picking on an even younger child in a park near her Toronto home. But that act, and the assault that followed, has changed her life.

And when she and her husband turned to the police, they were told by an officer that they should move because they couldn’t help them.

Disbrowe said she and a friend tried to step in last March and help stop bullying they saw going on in their neighbourhood.
For that Disbrowe said she was attacked by who girl who she says stood 5-foot-5 and weighted about 200 pounds. When police were called they did nothing, she said.

Still desperate for help, Disbrowe’s husband Sam was talking to a Toronto police officer on paid duty at a construction site he was working at several months after the incident. He explained their problem and received shocking advice.

“He just looked at me and said ‘You should move’,” Sam said. “I looked at the guy and said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding. Your answer to someone assaulting my wife and my child is that we should move because you guys can’t do anything about it?’”

Sam said the officer told him 31 Division is swamped with higher priority investigations and with the girl being a young offender it would be hard to press charges.

The whole incident has left the couple questioning if the all the anti-bullying rhetoric you hear these days has any meaning if police aren’t willing to back up people stepping in to stop bullies, Disbrowe said.

“Because I knew the youth I wanted to do something,” said the 27-year-old mother of four. “But I don’t know if I was put in the situation again now, after what has happened, with the lack of action, if I would do it again.”

The trouble started for Disbrowe when she and her children were at Driftwood Park close to their Tobermory Dr. home in the Jane-Finch area in March. Disbrowe and a friend noticed a nine-year-old neighbourhood girl being picked on by a larger girl who she believes was older.

“We told her, you shouldn’t be bullying her ... We were just trying to get through to her. She wasn’t hearing it. She started swearing at us and cussing us off.”

Disbrowe started to disengage from the conversation when she said her friend told the girl, “Just because you live in Jane and Finch doesn’t mean you have to be a statistic.”

“(The girl) paused for about five seconds,” Disbrowe said. “Then she picked up a handful of sand and threw it at me. She knocked me to the ground and started punching me.”

Disbrowe, who had her 10-month-old daughter in her arms, managed to hand her off to a neighbour who came to her aid. Then she wrapped her arms around the girl’s legs and said she yelled for bystanders to call the police.

Disbrowe said the girl bit her left arm, breaking the skin and drawing blood.
When she heard people calling 911, she let go of the girl who subsequently walked away with her friends. The police arrived moments later as Disbrowe pursued the girl, not wanting her to get away.

“While the story was being told (to police) she was sitting there, mocking us with her friends,” she said. “The police said there was nothing they could really do. Our stories sounded the same until the assault happens and that’s when it gets different.”

They told Disbrowe she could press charges if police didn’t. The officers then said they were going to drive the girl home and talk to her parents. Disbrowe was taken to the hospital to treat the cuts above her eye, split lip and the bite wound on her arm.

She sported a swollen black eye for a week after the incident. But Disbrowe’s anxiety over the attack continued.
“It got to the point I couldn’t go outside,” she said. “I’d see the girl on the street. Nothing was happening to her. She still seemed happy riding her bike and doing her thing.”

Tormented by memories of the attack and with the officer’s advice in mind, Disbrowe applied for a late transfer from her criminology studies at York University and was accepted by the University of Western Ontario in London.

She and Sam picked up their family and moved. Sam is now out of work and they are struggling financially.

“It’s screwed up a lot of things. We’ve gone through all of our savings. But it’s the (police) inaction that really bugs me. I’ve called so many times.”

 

[tboy]

see, that's just it, back in my day the cops would detain me and have the parents come to the police station to collect me....and they'd get told: if we pick him up again, there's going to be charges laid....and I'd be in handcuffs.....not "driven home"....

Yeah, the new legislation should include "arrest and charge the bully, no matter what the age".......FFS, this is ridiculous...but you probably can't blame the police, they've probably tried and the "crown" probably never wanted to press charges...I mean, if we let serious criminals off, what would they do to a bully? (probably give him free counselling, a new wardrobe, and a boost in welfare....

Although Kody Maxson was not Amanda Todd's tormentor, he is an accused sexual predator. Justin Hitchings did a dastardly thing not only demeaning Amanda Todd after death but also her family will know that the torment continues.

Kudos to the ladies from Calgary, they took action. As for the company terminating Justin Hitchings, they are well within their right to do so for 'code of ethics violations and company standards". A large majority of employers require employees to read and sign off on their policies and procedures manuals and sign code of ethics and confidentiality contracts. If Hitchings had work information on his facebook page, that's violent the contracts he signed grounds for termination. If Hitchings violates any code of conduct clauses, that's grounds for termination. The company got right in front of this and basically told all their employees "don't do it". Good for them!

As for any level of government actually curtailing this problem, it just will not happen. What could be beneficial is incarceration of such offenders and that can be a negative as well because criminals get educated by criminals. It's a grass-roots problem, many Canadian Universities have studied, created clinical programs and facilitated large events on how to stop bullying; it's easier said than done especially if the person being bullied doesn't have the fortitude to tell someone or seek assistance.

IMO, there are bullies in every aspect of life, the extent will be different and sadly it will never change again IMO. Television, Movies, Social Networks all portray bullies. Some examples: The breakfast club, Pretty in Pink, Boys in the hood, Back to the future, The Program, School Ties, even television shows such as happy days and the list goes on and on. It is rare that a television goes on where there is not bullying; it's part of the conflicting drama that many want to see and these situations usually end well because they aren't real. In professional sports, bullying happens all the time, they call it taunting and get a penalty but impressionable fans emulate these actions. Reality television and these shows with children toddlers/tiaras, dance-moms, there is bullying from the parents, coaches and children.

As long as their is hierarchy system or survival of the strongest idea, it is going to be common place. If you have a job and you are forced to do overtime, that's bullying because you don't have a choice. Remember all those WSIB commercials that were vivid, well if you are placed into an unsafe work situation by an employer that is not part of your work or faulty equipment, you are being bullied.

I have a friend and his daughter was bullied so badly at school, facebook, twitter, and other outlets and he and his wife took along time before asking my professional opinion, and they tried all avenues contacting the school, doctor, psychologist, police even contacting the other parents and meeting with the families all to no avail. It caused a serious rift between husband/wife and three older children all in their 20s. It got to the point that she became bulimic, began cutting, running away, stealing and attemted suicide twice - once was a close call in her closet. My friend who is incredibly intelligent but messed up with thinking that there had to be a way he could fix this for her and finally asked me what I thought. I said, "our you two seriously going to listen to me?" They answered yes.

I asked them to listen with open minds because they weren't going to like what was coming. Have you ever thought that she may have sexually assaulted? It hits the fan! No way not my child, she would tell us. I asked, "Would she?" They asked, "How do we approach her?" You don't! You let me ask the question because it's gone too far and nobody has asked this. If she gets mad, it's not at you and she may be more forth-coming because I won't react either way.

Well 20+ years working with inmates of all ages, genders and cultures-both criminals and mentally ill, I've learned signs and symptoms. I asked her if she cuts because she wants to make herself unattractive and the flood gates opened. I was correct, there were images being passed around just as she was passed around. 3 youth offenders were charged and convicted, the tide turned. She went to another Province to finish high-school and lived with family. She's returned works full time in sales, has a boyfriend but there may always be some issues for her; however, for now, she's winning the battle.

 

[HOF]

Tboy, you and I agree completely on these topics. Anyone can make a child, there is no license required unfortunately. The cops aren't the problem; it's the politicians that are. It is also babies having babies that don't have the skills to teach them. It's the extremely spoiled where the parents aren't interested in them. I feel badly for single moms that try to keep it together, working long hours or multiple jobs to make ends meet.

I just don't see this changing in my lifetime and it's one of the reasons I don't want children. It's not necessarily what they may do; it's worrying what may be done to them. Frankly that is the only thing that I'm afraid of in life.

Another girl kills herself over bullies.

Another girl kills herself over bullies.

The tormented Staten Island teenager who killed herself by jumping in the path of a train was bullied to death by classmates after she had sex with four football players, police sources said Thursday.

Felicia Garcia, a 15-year-old freshman at Tottenville High School, was driven to her death when two classmates blabbed about the encounters — and she learned that it had been recorded.

“Kids are saying she had sex with some guys from the football team at a party after the game,” said a friend of the doomed girl who asked not to be identified. “Later on they wouldn't leave her alone about it. They just kept bullying her and bullying her.”

After the weekend, the bullying sent Felicia into the final tailspin in a long-troubled life.

“I cant, im done, I give up,” she tweeted Monday.

School officials heard of the bullying and set up a mediation session Wednesday with a counselor and one of the 17-year-old boys. The teenager denied harassing the girl, the sources said.

Leaving the office, Felicia later ran into the other 17-year-old who had been making her life miserable — and they exchanged words, the sources said.

Police did not say what was said. But it was enough to send Felicia marching off to the Huguenot station of the Staten Island Railroad, where she killed herself in front of horrified classmates.

Senior Alissa Compitello said she saw Felicia on the way to the train station and the girl told her that she had the mediation because of the bullying.

“She was smiling though, like everything was going to be okay,” said Compitello, 17.

But a quick look at Felicia’s Instagram account would have revealed the depths of her despair. On it, she placed a picture of herself with the word “Depressed” covering her eyes.

“Just because someone is smiling doesn’t make them happy,” read her caption.



Even before her suicide, Felicia’s life was marked by tragedy, the sources said. She was living with a foster family and a chronic runaway who had been reported missing seven times, they said.

Detectives are now questioning the students accused of harassing Felicia and combing through Facebook and other social media for evidence that she was bullied. They have also questioned the four varsity football players with whom Felicia had sex.

They are between the ages of 15 and 16, the sources said.

“They said at no time was the victim pressured into doing anything,” one of the police sources said.

The Department Board of Education has sent a crisis team to Tottenville HS. Last night, dozens of students gathered for a vigil at the train station, where some yelled out “F--- the football team!”
“The day I met her she made me laugh,” said John Palma, 15, a sophomore. “She never did anything wrong to anybody. This just came out of left field.”

Sophomore quar****ack Joshua Rainey defended the team in an angry tweet that included an expletive and a misspelling.

“EVERBODY WHO IS BLAMING THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS S-- & MIND YOUR BUISNESS !!” he wrote.

A football game between Tottenville and Staten Island rival Curtis was scheduled for Friday night. It was postponed until 5 p.m. Sunday.


Sara Brager, a 16-year-old junior, said she was on the platform when Felicia handed her cell phone to a pal, walked to the edge of the platform, then fell backward into the path of an oncoming train. She said she is haunted by Felicia’s final words.

“Just before she fell, she said, ‘Finally, it’s here,’” said Brager. “It was the most horrible thing I've ever seen.”
