      I experienced something really similar, at 12… 😮
      I had a teenage boy, a few years older than me (in high school) say to both me and his friends that I was the only girl to ever understand and “like” him, which made me extremely uncomfortable. 😅
      I had assumed he was a girl (due to both his profile picture of a girl and also the fact I never asked for his gender) and was comfortable talking to him that way, after finding out he was actually a man, I ended up blocking him after a few days (this all happens within the span of TWO weeks) and he just lost it. Acted depressed, saying that he lost the only girl who ever liked him and that he cared for…🙃
      He never even asked for my age, and we weren’t even close or anything. Just two weeks of talking. 🫠 I ended up relating a lot to the victim in this case. So sad to hear that so many people, like you and me, have gone through such a similar experience and yet she lost her life. May she and all the other people who lost their lives in a similar situation rest in peace.

    I remember when my oldest was about 15 & was apparently using this app. Her mental health went to 💩, she started self harming & I couldn't get to the source of the issue. She had NEVER been a kid who acted out or showed any signs of depression before; but I also knew she was a teen. Come to find out much later, she was being targeted thru kik by bullies & grown, nasty men. She felt conflicted about blocking people. Her ❤ was too pure & she thought she would hurt feelings.🤦🏽‍♀️ So glad we are passed that now.

I'm 42 now and haven't touched anything since. All you can do is just be there for when she's ready, (it would have been a lot easier to get myself together if I'd had a support system instead of being alone after foster care, I cannot stress enough how important it is.), it may take her a few times of falling down and getting back up.. just don't give up. 💜
      Also, never give money over $6, (can't really get any drugs with that, it should be enough to ride the bus in two directions for appointments. If you give a bus card make sure it's only got enough for a few trips, you can add more online, but she can sell bus cards and gift cards, you only get usually a third of the monetary value), it's better to give groceries and necessities. Also, keep narcan in the house, you can find all kinds of places that give it out for free. I have saved more than a couple lives with it, and even if she isn't doing opiates it may be in other drugs.

    I actually had a conversation with my ex boyfriend and he told me he was communicating with an 18 year old. (He's 30). He didn't see the issue and even said he was just trying to be friendly because she was in a hard place (no social friends, new to the country) and said it was just going to be a sexual relationship. He even went as far to say, it would be 'perfect' because she would be easier to influence/course her to do things, and he could easily mold her into liking things he liked. At the time, he didn't understand why I was using the words, GROOMING to describe what he was saying to me. He said all of his friends agreed with him that they would all also do the same thing given the chance. He even argued according to law, it's okay, so in his eyes there's nothing wrong with it. I agrued he didn't even know when she turned 18, and is still just a teenager.
    Moving forward, he decided to meet her and take her to a hotel, and immediately had police knocking on the door. Apparently she was only 17, and an orphan, and when she didn't return that evening, they hunted her down. He still doesn't see the problem besides her lying. 😬🤢

    I work at a law firm and the attorney I worked with took on a client who was accused of possession of CP. The second I heard that he was “supposedly sharing images on Kik” I knew he was guilty. I was at one point groomed on the app myself when I was 14-15. Not a single “normal” grown adult would EVER have the app and share images on it. It’s literally flooded with predators.

    I must also be a 90 year old inside because I’ve never heard of Kik either. This is such a heart breaking story, he murdered her because of something he’d convinced himself had happened, it’s just baffling. I hope that Nicole’s parents are doing the best they can be under such horrific circumstances and I hope the two of them do horrible time and rot in prison.

    It was nice to see 'Sassy Danielle' show up on this one. 😆 I love how you don't hold back, but show your real emotions in your videos. And how passionately you go at the perpetrators and don't 'sugar coat' their actions. Poor Nicole went through so much in her short time on this earth, only to be brutally m*rdered by someone she trusted. I pray her parents are doing okay, especially her mom since they were so close. (The make-up look is very pretty.)

    17:43 lol that was more than a side note. That was a tangent. But, we love you for them. A large portion of why some of us follow you is for your opinions and the personality that comes with that. You don’t just recite a script; you make your views well known. It’s refreshing.

    Around 2014 I was on KIK. I was stalked and threatened by someone I supposedly met at a party. I was barely 16. He threatened to r@p3 me, and leave my body in a ditch. He followed me home from school then to work (to all three of my jobs), stalked my step mom (sent me pictures of her outside talking on the phone), sent me pictures of my license plate with my car parked in my spot in our apartment complex, etc. It was terrifying. I filed mutliple reports, and nothing was ever done. This is no joke.

    Danielle, I think I've suggested this case to you before but I'm going to again. The Durham family murders in Boone NC back in 1972. My grandmother actually has an original newspaper clipping from the local newspaper when this happened. This case was finally solved after 50 years in 2022. It's an interesting case, for sure! I'm a Boone native, born and raised. I still live here just outside of Boone. I would love to see you cover this case! I have great respect for you! You are my favorite true crime UA-camr and it would be so awesome if you made a video about this case!

    Wow, I'm surprised this story is being covered! I remember when this happened in my hometown. I was a youth leader and a lot of the kids in my group were pretty tore up about it and were great friends with her. The whole community was in shambles when it happened.

    I live ten minutes from this. Thank you so much for covering this😢! there is so much that happens in small communities in Virginia, so many questions for most aren't covered well or at all! As well as unjust and seems hidden from the members of the communities! ❤❤❤❤I'm sure not just here but everywhere. Wish I knew and had the patience and skills to investigate more of these local crimes myself! Southwest Virginia and the tidewater area in VA should definitely be investigated and reported on! Thx again so so much for this one!

    Thank you for sharing this! Unfortunately, I was about 12 when kik was popular and it was such a weird place… because of the time, I didn’t have the awareness of grooming etc. you’re the first UA-camr who has shared a case about kik

    Cases like this are why I’m so protective of the teenagers in my life, both family and the kids I work with every day! Kik and Omegle felt so cool when I was 12-15 and I consider myself lucky that nothing major ever happened to me or my friends 😢 RIP Nicole, truly a beautiful soul that was robbed of the beautiful life you deserved

    I was in a relationship with a 18 almost 19 yr old right after I turned 15… he was very controlling. I rebelled a lot against it but he told me he would kill himself if I broke up with him… and it went on wayyy longer than it should have. And it did NOT end well… but thank God it ended better than it could have. Eventually he moved in with us… idk WHY my parents let him?? But then we moved in together after I graduated… and I did not want to do it. I had a dorm due to a college scholarship…. It was… a lot.
    I could go on… but… when you’re being so controlled… it is SOO hard to get away…

    Thank you, Danielle, for highlighting how treacherous some of these apps are for children. I am raising two teenagers right now, and we have come a loooooong way in parental guidance with iPhones, but to know there are apps that not only are available but are promoted to teens is terrifying. Be it sex, bullying, or drugs, parents need to stay alert and TEACH their kids through these moments. Nicole was only 13. It all happened in the blink of an eye. I will be praying for her and her family. ❤
