I am Alex’s mom and can confirm that this is not my son posting. I truly apologize for any discord my son has caused as he truly just wants to “fit in” any way he can. We had spoken with our son weeks before once Alex had finally realized what serious trouble he was in and was finally asking for help on how to rectify this crucial situation he had gotten himself into. Once we were brought up to speed, we demanded that Alex shut down all of his social media and give serious thought to those who have been truly hurt by his actions and how poorly he is being reflected by everyone. I had no plans of commenting on this forum, but now I feel it is warranted. Alex was coerced by a fellow member named “Bargain Bin Laden” to hand over his account to prevent Alex from impulsively participating on this site again and put trust in “his friend” to ensure his account would never be accessed again.

. I truly want to thank those of you who commented to Alex providing the reality of what he was up against, especially your brutal honesty giving him the chance to “bow out” before he found himself at a point of “no return”, but unfortunately he did not “heed” to your words. Sigh! I will always be forever grateful to you.
