If anything its ignorant. and i feel like its better to meet creeps not with a bad motive but it makes you realiz some people you meet might just be bad. Its freedom. But yes freedom for everyone comes with price. instead of removing it, its better to increase awareness. or introduce a safe new tag which people can use for safe conversations.

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    He had me recorded, knew my name, my parents, my location. He had me added on Facebook for 2 years. Made to send him explicit pictures of myself until I had enough and just blocked him.
    To this day I’m scared of seeing him again, even hearing his name sends me into a spiral . Please keep an eye out on your children, don’t give them unlimited or unrestricted access to anything online. You don’t want to end up like me

    11:13 this cannot be anymore true. About two years ago, my dad found a card shop in our area (our family being more gamers, at least in my household) and we met this amazing guy I’ll call Derek, he is 39.
    I played Pokémon with him a lot until I started to find him kinda weird and annoying. My little sister (this is important) played every game with him. DND, Pokémon, he even taught her Magic! They were best friends 39 and 11. (These ages are now, back then it was 37 and 9) He became a very fond family friends, and we trusted him (except for me. I didn’t like him, I didn’t know why but I just didn’t like him. I mean I found him annoying but looking back, the vibes he gave were more than “annoying”) My dad and him were BEST. FRIENDS. Which makes sense, since they were close in age. They both were fond of Naruto which led to an impromptu ramen night. We also played board games with him. A lot. We played so much that him, my sister, and my mom were going to play with him on February 5th of this year (2023) marked in my calendar.
    My dad was at work. Well, unfortunately he never showed…or…fortunately. In an attempt to figure this out, my sister made a comment. “I’ll ask him on discord when he will get here.” With a dad who works at a prison and a mom who lost her best friend in highschool due to a kidnapping, this raised some LARGE flags. Well my dad and sister went to the card shop one day and I was on me and my sisters shared computer. Well my mom calls me and asks me to bring the computer and I do, having no real reason not to as I had nothing to hide. The thing that she said after she opened and looked at the apps “You don’t have discord on here?” I said no as I didn’t ever want to use it and my sister had it on her phone rather that computer. She gave it back but this struck me weird.
    Once they got home, my mom took my sisters phone and looked through her and Derek’s messages. He had been messaging her since December. At the beginning, it was just Pokémon and things like that. But he started asking for things. It started off with just asking for pictures of her (face) and when she didn’t and stood her ground he would send her pictures of his face so it would encourage her to. Her being hot-headed and and as bendable as a rock, she didn’t. He also told her how much he loved to hug her and wished he could cuddle her. As time went on and my sister not wanting to do anything with him, he got more aggressive. Luckily, this is when we found out.
    His threats were starting to get worse and probably would’ve led to him DOING these things to her. The police was notified through a friend of my dads (who was higher than him and could do something about it, prison workers) They went to his house, searched his things and made sure he hadn’t TOUCHED any children, which is still being determined, and he has since been banned (my dad is good friends with the owner, it’s a small town card shop.) and was LAUGHED at when he went to the card shops discord server to go cry about it (EVERYONE it the card shop had been warned, because children were prominent)
    Be safe online kids.

There are still so many kids on there and seeing the amount of weirdos scares me honestly.

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    There is no report button on Omegle. There should be. You should also be forced to register an account to use it. A lot of things could be done to make it safer.
    Of course, the internet itself has some risk either way. But services sometimes neglect to make it more difficult for predators, thus making it so much easier for them to do what they do.,
    Edit: And it looks like Omegle is gone. OmeTV and app which does basically the same thing, required you to link it with your social media. Close enough.

Did a lot of fun things, like debate politics, sing, flirt, get in roast battles, hell sometimes we’d even find our own classmates by sheer chance. But for every good interaction there were 2 more of us just getting doxxed 😂

    I had 2 friends who used omegle while we were hanging out before, and while nothing bad happened to them while they were using it, my inner self was scared for their lives. I didn't join in on with them, I just simply told them to stop, but they didn't listen to me. They were lucky that they didn't come across people with bad intentions.
    Interacting with strangers through the comments is a daily thing for me, but interacting with them like that is a big no to me. I just can't trust people that easily.

    Thank you for making this video. When I was 9-12 years old I went on there to talk with people. I saw racists, homophobes, p3dos and creepy grown men on there grooming me. One recorded me and threatened to post me on every xxx site if I didn't let my little brother who was about 10 at the time in the act. I completely realized the reality of things after that. I don't know if he just has that cp video and shared it with other p3dos, or if he posted online for it to be dug up later. I'm just glad my brother is safe. Omegle is a wild place and that can have astronomical consequences. NEVER let your children especially young children on the internet unsupervised until AT LEAST 13 years old. If I had gotten that same expectation, I wouldn't have to be anxious almost everyday knowing that that video could be on anyone's device.

    Over time, as a young girl using omegle, I learned that the tag “ROBLOX” for video chat is just a big ped0-group looking for kids. Every time I would go on that tag, it’d be those point games, a man turning his phone down from the ceiling to his parts when he saw me, black screens asking for me to do bad things, etc.
    I rarely ever saw other kids there that liked ROBLOX, except for the few that have no idea or sometimes girls who just wanted that attention and praise. Trying to spread this so people become wary and report it.

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    Dang, the more horror stories I hear about kids who got groomed(or worse 😰) by creeps on the internet, the more I realize how lucky I was that nothing like that ever happened to me. I was on sites no kid should ever be, such as Omegle and Kik and came out unharmed. I got super lucky and I feel so bad for the ones that weren't. And I'm not gonna fault my parents for not keeping me off those sites. Believe me, they tried. My mom tried so hard to drill into my head that these sites are super dangerous especially for kids, yet my dumbass wouldn't listen. If you tell an adolescent to stay off whatever app or website, that only makes them want to use it more, and they'll wait until you're not looking to secretly use it. If I could talk to my younger self, I'd show them these videos and maybe help them realize through real stories that happened that the internet can be a very unsafe place for kids. I hope videos like this will help people realize that this stuff is no joke. That's part of the reason I'm never having kids, because the world just keeps getting more dangerous and it's damn near impossible to get them to take internet safety seriously.

      Same with me. I think the fact that your mom warned you might've helped you stay away from ppl like this. I went on these platforms but knew not to trust random strangers, knew it was disgusting for adults to wanna interact with kids, and also knew the internet was dangerous. Any time I went on Omegle I'd cover my camera until the other person appeared, so if it was a creepy old man or someone being inappropriate I'd skip them before they saw me. Glad we made it out safe and sad so many ppl didn't

    • @reereereena

      Also luckily I have never witnessed anything horrific being shared on screen. I think maybe the fact that I was scared, shy and had been taught about the dangers of the internet generally meant that the few times I was on Omegle I didn't stay for long. But I was present in other websites and made friendships with adults as a teen, but told my mom everything. I even started to get from this one man like 20 years older than me, and my mom knew about everything, so if anything weird started happening she'd pick up on it before myself. Luckily he never even came close to trying anything, at most he'd vent about random personal stuff to me and while it was annoying he never pressured me into doing anything or into staying in a friendship. Genuinely think he was just a bit of a loner. But I'm aware nowadays that my case is an exception!
