Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I don't like this kind of hearsay accusations in any form. They are not funny, and if something illegal happened, the police needs to be informed first, foremost and probably exclusively in order to not damage a case, not YouTube audience.
While it's not the most unpopular opinion, I disagree with this. Yes, the police need to be informed first, that's a given. But it's forgetting that the accuser is allegedly 15-16. Teenagers are fucking stupid. They have phones in their pockets, are taught that "police = bad, internet opinion = good" and their first response is almost always to go to TikTok, Discord, or Twitter and vent. In cases like these, the only time it gets passed over to the police are when the parents get involved.
And just to spitball, but if this girl was genuinely being groomed by Yandev on Snapchat and Discord, I'm willing to believe her parents fucking suck at parenting and either have no idea she possesses either of these apps, or believes that she'll be directly punished by her parents taking her internet away. (which would be the best option, but for a zoomer teenager in our day and age, is like being sent to the gallows and it's unlikely she'll open up to them about it.)
And it's fucking Alex. If a girl actually manages to get groomed by that goblin, she must have absolutely 0 positive figures in her life if she's turning to YouTubers and wannabe gamedevs for conversation.
Editing this to also add to show her opinions and why she won't go to the police with it.
She has no experience with the law, and doesn't understand that no, she wouldn't be charged. She's a dumb teenager.
