Well, it's easy for me to say "don't send nudes photos" For one, I'm 60, who wants to see me nude?! But also, that wasn't a thing in my day, so it does seem stupid. But if was a teenager in today's climate, I would probably be different.
Are we just going to gloss over the fact that a 17-year-old had access to a firearm? I have more guns than the average person, but I would never let my 17 year old child have access to them without me being present. That's crazy
Seems to be the norm in most households these days. People so obsessed with exercising their second amendment rights, they forget about the safety of their children or anybody else's children at that matter. Not all gun owners are responsible gun owners.
Along with the right to own a firearm comes a great responsibility to secure and store them safely. Teen brains are not biologically developed enough to have unsupervised access to firearms.
People defending gun rights and how careful they are with storing it don’t think about their child using it to take their own lives. Folks need to stop clutching their guns and wake up.
This! It’s insane the parents weren’t charged with anything. Kids are kids. They don’t think rationally. They should not have easy access to a gun and ammo.
Oh yah prayers will help so much. Thank you for being so caring. Just yesterday God told me if just one more person prays, bad things will stop happening
@Daniel-t1y3z absolutely not. This person was not raised int he real world to know what people are capable of worldwide. Mentally sheltered kids will struggle
This happened to a friend of mine. He was over 18 but they did the same thing. Got him to send pics and then tried to use them to get him to pay money. He refused and blocked the account. They sent the photos to all his friends and family. THANKFULLY he didn’t take his life but it definitely took a huge emotional toll on him. He was way too embarrassed to report it to police. I believe this definitely happens way more often than one would think and the majority of it never gets reported.

@@malcolmdcwwed It's true. But 17 years in a U.S. jail is probably a luxury for them compared to a Nigerian jail. They probably even got to fly abroad for the first time. Would have been better had they been sentenced to serve in a Nigerian jail.

I'm comparing the jails, not comparing jail to regular life.

No one is going ecstatic thinking "yay american jail woohoo" being locked up is the worst feeling ever with garbage food to add to your misery.
we should also tell them even if they do- we won't think of them any differently. the shame and embarrassment keeps them from seeking help. if there is no embarrassment then it will be easier to talk about and ask for help. i'm not condoning children sending images of themselves but kids don't always listen the first time :/
I schooled my lil bro on that years ago when he confided in me one time about a supposed girl trying to get nudes from him online. I told him its prob extortion so dont do it. Its just sad that not all kids will confide with someone about that type of thing they are too embarrassed its so sad. Whats crazy though is rather letting your own parents see your head blown off than see your nude photos that they have already seen when you were a baby a million times and your flesh and blood so it doesnt even matter. So sad.
I used to always have those talks with my brother that's 6 years younger than me. I'm 28 he's 22 now. But when he was a teen he would always confide in me about who he talked to online and what he should do or not do etc. I'm glad I was able to convince him to not be embarrassed about that sort of thing with me. We are both men.@@chelseaxjaye

@@maylily820why? She had a common thing happened, he’s dead? His dad should be charged with leaving guns laying around, why did a kid have such easy access to a gun?
Very sad! Teenagers are just convinced that embarrassment is the worst thing that can happen to someone. Adults with more perspective know it isn't even in the top 10. Kids, you are probably going to end your days having your diapers changed by a complete stranger. You might as well understand right now that embarrassment WILL happen and it's is one of life's MINOR annoyances.
@@malcriadamedina5358 Doesn't matter what he was doing. It's never the end of the world to be embarrassed.

It was a needless death.
@@mary_puffin ok but thats what I'm saying, was it more than just a "nude", was he secretly bi or was it something abnormal? for him to have taken such drastic measures Im saying was it more than a simple naked picture
@@malcriadamedina5358 Could have just been that. Many people would be embarrassed about a nude photo. Not to mention the pressure he was put under. Also, it's not helpful to speculate. Whatever the photo was, the fact is that his teenage mind couldn't conceive of a life after public embarrassment. In reality, it would have been far better to live through that than to die at the hands of scammers.
What a bizarre, gross and insensitive comment to write about a victim of sextortion who killed themselves. Sextortion is NOT a "minor" annoyance. It's a very serious issue and can mentally scar people.
You can't charge someone for a suicide unless they directly encourage it (like that girl in that Plainview text case). Trust me, 17 years is not a joke given the circumstances (extortion, sexually soliciting a minor). Plenty of homicides got much less. Plus I think it's a federal crime so no 50% discount.
WHY did this child have access to a firearm is what I want to know??? And why are the parents not taking any responsibility for that and putting the blame all on social media??
He had a girlfriend yet spoke to the fake girl and send her photos? Parents need to teach their boys to not fall for the bullcrap. Because as we know it, those scammers are everywhere.
You mean teach boys to not be mindless horndogs and the value of loyalty and honesty?? Yeah. Even prior to the internet men need to be taught that because clearly it doesn’t come naturally to them.
Duh they are the ones that approached him and tried to seduce him many times. sometimes people get weak when they have problems in their relationships especially guys and young boys when girls approach them they like it and feel confident about themselves and don't forget that they are the ones that first send to him nude photos of the girl to seduce him so he can believe it and trust them.
Whenever I see a video like this, I watch it with my teen. We talk about it. I tell him always come to me first. There is nothing you can't come to me about.
The kid was 17, almost a legal adult. At that point you should expect someone to be “exposed to the internet”. This isn’t some 12 year old we’re talking about here.
@@Fitz710Didn't you hear? They said primarily boys starting at age 10. I don't understand how so many parents give their children full access to the Internet starting at very young ages. They are being exposed to hardcore porn and acting out sexually like these videos prove. The reason they do sexting in the first place is that other kids are doing it too. Forget about Nigeria. Anytime someone sexts with a real person they know, there is always the possibility of betrayal later on. Unfortunately I see this as a facet of porn involvement and addiction involving minors.
Nice try bozo. This wasn't a troubled kid. No one can reasonably say the parents should've seen it coming or think he might hurt himself in this case. Stop trying to spin it
@@yalltripping his death was caused by a series of criminal events perpetrated by 2 complete strangers who wanted to pull a scam on him. The boy didn't have depression or troubles prior to this. Believe it or not, many normal families have a gun in the house for protection and multiple family members have access to it FOR PROTECTION. Parents have absolutely zero blame for this one, sorry that doesn't go along with the narrative you clowns want 😉
I am a security officer at a university. We actually had a case that the user had pictures that didn't even belong to the victim. That is how scary AI can be in this matter.
Seriously. The globalists are pushing AI like it's a God and so wonderful for humanity. Exactly like Gates did with computers and how they are going to "Free"us up and the opposite happened. For many it's work 24/7, always having to be "Available".
I’m glad that at least 2 of the 6 people involved in his murder were brought to justice. That family went 2 years thinking they’d never find the people responsible.
Do you count the parents as part of the 6 people? The kid would be alive if not for the parents buying the gun. Kid didn’t even have $400 to his name… but he had a gun?
My condolences to the family. No one should be ashamed of a nude picture but should never communicate with people online especially if you never met them. Online meetings are not really meeting people. People have to understand that the internet is not a safe place.
It’s true. Even if you’re with a person and they are supposed to be in love with you. Don’t share intimate pictures between you. The internet is littered with revenge porn.
Lol, you don’t know how modern dating works, if you did this you’d never meet anyone these days People don’t meet in person anymore, it’s all online and I hate it
@@somethingsomething404 you still have an obligation to protect yourself. It's your job. No one else will be injured worse than yourself. You cannot expect someone else to respect you if you don't respect yourself. Stand firm for you despite what the crowd does. ( I know I sound like my Mother. I once thought she was the dumbest creature on earth. Sometimes I still do. But she wad and I am right about this. Loving yourself is worth every effort. Every rigid boundary line.)
If arguing social media kills kids, then you also have to argue the same for guns. Social media doesn’t kill kids. Guns don’t kill kids. Sick people preying on kids is what kills kids.
I hate this story. I hate these scammers. I remember what it’s like to be a teenager. Something like this would’ve crushed me. There were so many things that I considered devastating as a 17 year old. I can’t even remember them now. I hate that these kids aren’t off limits to these adult scammers.
But it's 2024, it's not as if your life is going to be ruined in any way just over a nude photo of you being exposed. There's got to be more to it than that.
It's not social medias, it's humans. I use social media for studying and talking to my friends, other humans use it for scamming and hateful things. It's not a robot/ai's fault. It's always humans
With today's AI generated imaging capabilities, it's very hard to tell a real picture from a fake. So, if anyone tries to extort you, tell them to go ahead.
I was thinking quite the exact same thing. You can always say that they expertly manipulated the pictures, so then you can direct your people to delete these explicit "AI-generated" pictures.
Parents, please, monitor your children's phone and Internet use! Remember you are the parent, they are the child. Your job is to protect them at all cost! If your child has a problem with you monitoring their phone, remember their safety, is far more important than their wants! We must never leave a stone unturned, when it comes to our children!
@graysonburkhart Parents won't even bother to defend themselves. The government steals a lot of money from us under the guise of protecting children, where did the money go?
Very much agreed first thing a parent should do is enable parental control on a child device before they get access to it there many built-in parental apps most games are now also adding built-in parental control that allows parents to disable friend request, voice chat, and etc. Some of this platforms need to do a better job at take reports seriously this goes for TH-cam also there been many times I've reported accounts on TH-cam for being underage directly to TH-cam on X/Twitter only to be told it doesn't violate there rules they comments left on those children profile on TH-cam are gross makes me puke anytime I see one some of those comments I reported back in 2013 there still actively on the platform.
@@techwhipped Kids are smarter than parents and can easily override security measures. There is nothing that secures a smart phone if you know how to use one. Kids should never get a smart phone. Just like everything it should be earned when they are a teenager
According to the profile, they broke up that day or the previous day I guess. Plus I think that’s the last thing that anybody cares about. I think it’s more about the private photos…
When nudity and sexuality is taboo at home - it can end like this. Parents now have the responsibility to educate their kids regarding this subject. And how to approach it.
@@robertunderwood8652No, Adolf. You're spouting the agenda of the Deep State, eh? Kyle Rittenhouse was only 18 when he killed two ANTIFA domestic terrorists who were also child sex offenders. The cabal hates that.
It’s truly sickening to read comments that blame him because he was “cheating” or “why did he have a gun”.

My son is 10 and will NOT have a cell phone for many years to come. When I see that I trust his judgment and he makes good decisions, I’ll consider it. With a parent control app. This is ONE of millions of ways kids can be harmed with a cell phone.
I was wondering how the 2 brothers & their families felt about that. To make any form of a 'statement' to the scammers, they should have been given the death sentence. I bet that even the President of Nigeria doesn't mind that 2 of his citizens will be housed, fed & cared for medically & in the end, be released with a chance to live out in the free America. Do you know if they will be extradited back to their country after they have served their sentence, or are they allowed to remain in the U.S.?
@@gorillacookies3171 Well, 1st, let me say that I am Canadian & don't know many of the U.S. laws. It was a genuine question. Will they be deported after they serve their sentence? Is that guaranteed? Do you know for sure? What if the laws change during the course of their incarceration, will they be entitled to the new laws (if it benefits them, that is) or will they be grandfathered into the current law?
I was on a grand jury that had to deal with a man who sexually extorted young girls…some for over a year. I couldn’t imagine how alone those poor girls felt feeling they had to just give into him rather then ask for help.
Agreed... but DUI murdered only gets 20. So many laws and legislation need to be justified. Kid in Miami speeding kills Mom and baby, he only got 11yrs.. Sad 😢😢
And what’s really sad is if this was a girl in the situation people would be calling her disgusting names in the comments and people would not have any sympathy, especially if she were to cheat on her boyfriend, I thought men would not be nice in the comments, the way that they are nice to the situation happening with the boy very sexist in my opinion
So you want the guy to be shamed… when he’s dead. He was wrong to cheat obviously but for gods sake he’s dead. And you’re making it a gender issue?? Boys vs girls??? Jesus some people are so small minded and obtuse it’s mind boggling… 🤦♂️🙄
I’m heart broken for the parents. I’m certain they are wonderful capable parents. I do agree that the gun laws in the USA and the culture around guns in the states is incomprehensible to me. The constitution that allows them guns and amo To protect there families and property is infact a huge hazard. It takes a split second to make a decision to commit suicide etc but it can also take a few seconds to change your mind. The guns are part of there mindset and always a few steps away handy in the home. Will never understand how a country like the United States rallies behind there insane gun culture,defends it tooth and nail and then touts itself as the best country on earth. While mostly they are used to commit crimes or commit suicide rather than protect. Condolences to the family Heartbreaking
@@mg79277 According to the FBI, guns are used over a million times a year to stop crime and protect life. I worked a suicide hotline for kids. Guns are only one of the many ways kids take their own lives. Cars, drugs, bridges, etc. It's all very sad. When I was a kid, everyone had an unsecured gun in the home. Never heard of any kids killing themself or doing a school shooting. Perhaps the problems isn't with guns but with broken homes (as statistics show) and Hollywood.
A minor was extorted for sex, and you're concerned by the mothod he used to commit suicide? It doesn't matter "how" he k'ed himself - the "why" is the issue.
@@Ashlyn-p1r a minor can't even legally decide for themselves, why then are they given access to an easy means to end the lives of both themselves and others?
This story is very tragic. Teach kids to NEVER take nude pictures or videos of themselves. If you must see a nude image of you, stand in front of your home mirror.
@@zherin2063 The point is fundamental and clear. Not all sextortionists are located in an extradition country. Thus, although this case was successful in apprehending the offenders, it will not always work that way. Furthermore, If you actually think Russian and Iranian people are in prison then you are truly a very ignorant person. Besides America having more people in prison (2Million) than Russia or Iran COMBINED, in America it is (1) illegal to dance in the street in Alabama, (2) illegal to whistle in public places in California, (3) illegal to sell pickles that don't bounce in Connecticut, (4) Illegal to sit on building stairs in St Louis, (5) Illegal to hold hands in public in parts of NJ, (6) Illegal to throw snowballs in Utah, (7) Illegal to attach a muzzle to a dog in Washington, (8)Illegal to mispronounce the state of Arkansas, (9) illegal to place ice cream in your back pack in California, (10) illegal to remove a condom while having sex in California, (11) illegal to keep furniture on your porch in Colorado, (12) illegal to catch a fish with your bare hands in Indiana, (13) illegal to sing in public in some areas of Michigan, (14) illegal to whistle while swimming in Nebraska, (15) illegal to drive with an ice cream in your hand in North Carolina, (16) illegal to possess more than 1 Koi Fish in Hawaii, (17) illegal to possess bigfoot body parts in Colorado, (18) illegal to possess mysteriouis balls or spheres in Alabama, (19) illegal to possess barking dogs in parts of California, (20) illegal to possess Silly String in parts of Arizona, (21) illegal to wear a Tuxedo in public in parts of NJ……And these American laws prohibiting possession and movement go on and on and on. So America is more of a prison than Russia or Iran. So educate yourself before you spill your ignorance on the public.
@@mystockroomin the UK we have some strange laws. For example, it’s illegal to be drunk in a pub. In Scotland particularly if someone comes to your home and asks to use your toilet, it’s illegal to deny them entry even if they are a stranger. The majority of these laws, including the ones you mentioned in regards to the USA, are very old and are not actually enforced. I agree that the USA is an extremely restricted country but it’s not because of the laws you listed here.
Most kids can go to their parents and say: “I screwed up”… I can’t imagine why he didn’t just go down the hall and ask his parents for help. It’s inexcusable how these criminals frightened and terrorized him, to where he felt so desperate. I’m glad they were made to be held accountable. This needs to happen more, when our citizens are being taken advantage of. It’s not just young men but anyone who is vulnerable.
Can't blame the creator of facebook for this one. I remember hearing about this story when it first came out and thinking I wish I could've told this high school student that everything is going to be okay, even if someone gets an inappropriate photo of you and shares it you will move on from this embarrassing moment in your life. Kids are so impressionable, they really don't know it gets better.
If, within a 6 hour window, the child sent nudes and committed suicide after an anonymous threat, there were obviously some other things going on with him mentally and emotionally. Children are immature and emotional and can’t think past 5 minutes into the future. The presence of a firearm turned a minor online incident into a life altering nightmare. Sad that this happened to this poor child. Condolences to his loved ones.
When I was 14, some guy claimed to have nudes of me and said if I don't send him money then he'll release the pics of me to everyone. I said, "Go ahead, then you'll be arrested for CP." 😆 ...never heard from him again 😆
This is such a horrific and tragic event. Why are we not looking at laws to require a gun safe in a home that minors reside in?? Children under the age of 18 should not have unsupervised access to firearms
Wow, this is quite scary. Heard about teenagers sending intimate images to one another but to have strangers duping people in to sending naked and intimate photos of themselves and then threatening to distribute these on to social media is really bad. It's frightening.
I’m so glad these horrific criminals were extradited and held accountable under US law. An example to MANY Nigerian scammers. RIP sweet Jordan, your life should not have been lost.
The fact he was scammed and blackmailed and that it affected him so badly that he took his own life is very sad. Oh wait, he was sending nude photos out to strangers while he had a girlfriend... That's kinda dirty. But the scammers should rightly be held accountable. It's unfortunate that his parents supplied him with the weapon he used to kill himself. I know he was young and we all make mistakes but it's a shame he felt the need to send naked photos to strangers on the Internet, especially when he was in a relationship. I can't imagine how his girlfriend felt knowing he killed himself because he'd been sending out naked photos of himself to who he thought was another girl.
I had this happen with my brother .They ended up texting me and sending me everything .All I could do was report them and tell my friends to do the same .Be careful ,they hack peoples accounts and act as them.
Lindsey Graham, or any Republican for that matter, saying that Facebook is the cause of his death and needs to be regulated is LAUGHABLE. This child ended his life with a GUN, as tens of thousands of American do every year. Maybe, just maybe, we should regulate the actual cause of his death??
Either they were broken up or not in good terms during the incident or Jordan cheated. Regardless it doesn’t justify the circumstances behind his death.
My prayers for the parents and their son. These people out targeting seniors and our young ones. Teach your kids there is nothing that is bad enough for you that you can’t talk about
He let go of a life where he was nothing but happy in a matter of JUST 6 hours... That alone should specify the seriousness of cybersextortion and what happened to him.
And for not having established a strong enough relationship to where he would come to them with this problem...no matter how bad. Parents bear some responsibility for how a child develops and matures. We never talk about that in society but it used to be understood. I have friends who have spent years cultivating that early on, they didn't give instant access to social media and they had weekly discussions about all of this. They chose to be parents and not friends with their kids. This is tragic but if parents are not responsible for the moral character and inner strength of their kid, helping them make wise choices by giving them consequences etc,...I mean if they don't lay the foundation who will? Why do some kids never send these types of pics at all? Or if they do why do some tell their parents and others don't? It comes down to parenting. Not saying it is easy but parenting is a full time commitment
@@google_is_a_criminalyou're so dumb. You should not think it's ok for a mom to k!ll her own child. It is the parents fault. People should not have a firearm under the age of 21. It's the law doofus.
I wouldn’t know how to feel about this if I was Jordan’s girlfriend. So basically he cheated as well for sending those nudes but got busted by a scammer.
Anyone else wondering why there is no investigation into the family’s storage of firearms? Unprotected firearms in US homes contribute to millions of unwarranted deaths per year and this family and officials should be considering why a 17 year old had easier access to a firearm than he did the comforting guidance of an open communication line with his parents, before immediately rushing to disproportionally blame social media when the fault largely lies with the perpetrators and those responsible for not preventing a 17 year old access to a firearm.
This happened to my son when he was 15, thank God he’s still alive. Sometimes I wonder if it was the same people reported here because they had the exact same MO.
Damn, the fact that they were able to be tracked down in Nigeria and brought back to the United States for justice is pretty impressive alone.

We need to tell little siblings and kids not to send pics of themselves
They do have commercials telling the teenagers don't send naked photos of themselves.
we should also tell them even if they do- we won't think of them any differently. the shame and embarrassment keeps them from seeking help. if there is no embarrassment then it will be easier to talk about and ask for help. i'm not condoning children sending images of themselves but kids don't always listen the first time :/
I schooled my lil bro on that years ago when he confided in me one time about a supposed girl trying to get nudes from him online. I told him its prob extortion so dont do it. Its just sad that not all kids will confide with someone about that type of thing they are too embarrassed its so sad. Whats crazy though is rather letting your own parents see your head blown off than see your nude photos that they have already seen when you were a baby a million times and your flesh and blood so it doesnt even matter. So sad.
I used to always have those talks with my brother that's 6 years younger than me. I'm 28 he's 22 now.

In reality, it would have been far better to live through that than to die at the hands of scammers.
What a bizarre, gross and insensitive comment to write about a victim of sextortion who killed themselves. Sextortion is NOT a "minor" annoyance. It's a very serious issue and can mentally scar people.
17 years for a life. What a joke.
I agree. However people get less time for manslaughter and sometimes even in some murder cases.
17 years isnt small time@FatherSonSpirit1
You can't charge someone for a suicide unless they directly encourage it (like that girl in that Plainview text case). Trust me, 17 years is not a joke given the circumstances (extortion, sexually soliciting a minor). Plenty of homicides got much less. Plus I think it's a federal crime so no 50% discount.

Duh they are the ones that approached him and tried to seduce him many times. sometimes people get weak when they have problems in their relationships especially guys and young boys when girls approach them they like it and feel confident about themselves and don't forget that they are the ones that first send to him nude photos of the girl to seduce him so he can believe it and trust them.

@@Fitz710Didn't you hear? They said primarily boys starting at age 10. I don't understand how so many parents give their children full access to the Internet starting at very young ages. They are being exposed to hardcore porn and acting out sexually like these videos prove. The reason they do sexting in the first place is that other kids are doing it too. Forget about Nigeria. Anytime someone sexts with a real person they know, there is always the possibility of betrayal later on. Unfortunately I see this as a facet of porn involvement and addiction involving minors.
Taking their OWN photos, OF themSELVES???

The U.S. already does that anyway. For minor crimes it’ll be temporary but for severe offenses like this they’ll typically be barred for life.

Do you count the parents as part of the 6 people? The kid would be alive if not for the parents buying the gun.

Thus, although this case was successful in apprehending the offenders, it will not always work that way. Furthermore, If you actually think Russian and Iranian people are in prison then you are truly a very ignorant person. Besides America having more people in prison (2Million) than Russia or Iran COMBINED, in America it is (1) illegal to dance in the street in Alabama, (2) illegal to whistle in public places in California, (3) illegal to sell pickles that don't bounce in Connecticut, (4) Illegal to sit on building stairs in St Louis, (5) Illegal to hold hands in public in parts of NJ, (6) Illegal to throw snowballs in Utah, (7) Illegal to attach a muzzle to a dog in Washington, (8)Illegal to mispronounce the state of Arkansas, (9) illegal to place ice cream in your back pack in California, (10) illegal to remove a condom while having sex in California, (11) illegal to keep furniture on your porch in Colorado, (12) illegal to catch a fish with your bare hands in Indiana, (13) illegal to sing in public in some areas of Michigan, (14) illegal to whistle while swimming in Nebraska, (15) illegal to drive with an ice cream in your hand in North Carolina, (16) illegal to possess more than 1 Koi Fish in Hawaii, (17) illegal to possess bigfoot body parts in Colorado, (18) illegal to possess mysteriouis balls or spheres in Alabama, (19) illegal to possess barking dogs in parts of California, (20) illegal to possess Silly String in parts of Arizona, (21) illegal to wear a Tuxedo in public in parts of NJ……And these American laws prohibiting possession and movement go on and on and on.

If, within a 6 hour window, the child sent nudes and committed suicide after an anonymous threat, there were obviously some other things going on with him mentally and emotionally.

@@lesm3870 actually, yes. because this happens surprisingly often.
Wow, this is quite scary. Heard about teenagers sending intimate images to one another but to have strangers duping people in to sending naked and intimate photos of themselves and then threatening to distribute these on to social media is really bad. It's frightening.
I’m so glad these horrific criminals were extradited and held accountable under US law. An example to MANY Nigerian scammers. RIP sweet Jordan, your life should not have been lost.
The fact he was scammed and blackmailed and that it affected him so badly that he took his own life is very sad. Oh wait, he was sending nude photos out to strangers while he had a girlfriend... That's kinda dirty. But the scammers should rightly be held accountable. It's unfortunate that his parents supplied him with the weapon he used to kill himself. I know he was young and we all make mistakes but it's a shame he felt the need to send naked photos to strangers on the Internet, especially when he was in a relationship. I can't imagine how his girlfriend felt knowing he killed himself because he'd been sending out naked photos of himself to who he thought was another girl.
Never share nudes with your face on it. Or use social accounts with friends and family in it. If anything odd happened, be brave and go to the police
Sad man really they should have gotten life for life!
they will not make it out of prison alive. once other inmates find out what they are in for their lives are going to be very rough.
Don’t bet on that. So many chomo’s and others don’t even get touched in prison anymore @@mysterymayhem7020
The boy took his own nudes
The boy took his own life
The scammers only harassed him.
17 yrs is already a stretch if common sense prevails
@@mysterymayhem7020 keep dreaming. You watch too many movies
@@mysterymayhem7020💯
Great to see some justice in these kind of cases. Now do something about all these oversea scammers.
I had this happen with my brother .They ended up texting me and sending me everything .All I could do was report them and tell my friends to do the same .Be careful ,they hack peoples accounts and act as them.
So anyone asked the parents why there was a gun so accessible to this minor?
Lindsey Graham, or any Republican for that matter, saying that Facebook is the cause of his death and needs to be regulated is LAUGHABLE. This child ended his life with a GUN, as tens of thousands of American do every year. Maybe, just maybe, we should regulate the actual cause of his death??
Any body like 😳 when they mentioned his GF
Either they were broken up or not in good terms during the incident or Jordan cheated.
Regardless it doesn’t justify the circumstances behind his death.
Noticed that as well and thought I was the only one who payed attention…
Yep
Yep, although his death was tragic it's still pretty fucked up that he was sending nudes to who he thought was another girl.
My prayers for the parents and their son. These people out targeting seniors and our young ones. Teach your kids there is nothing that is bad enough for you that you can’t talk about
Disgusting that these huge social media company allow such scandalous activity.
He let go of a life where he was nothing but happy in a matter of JUST 6 hours... That alone should specify the seriousness of cybersextortion and what happened to him.
Jail is better then the house they had
OH 💀💀
I blame the parents for giving a 17 year old access to a firearm
I blame your mother for not having a much needed abortion.
And for not having established a strong enough relationship to where he would come to them with this problem...no matter how bad. Parents bear some responsibility for how a child develops and matures. We never talk about that in society but it used to be understood. I have friends who have spent years cultivating that early on, they didn't give instant access to social media and they had weekly discussions about all of this. They chose to be parents and not friends with their kids. This is tragic but if parents are not responsible for the moral character and inner strength of their kid, helping them make wise choices by giving them consequences etc,...I mean if they don't lay the foundation who will? Why do some kids never send these types of pics at all? Or if they do why do some tell their parents and others don't? It comes down to parenting. Not saying it is easy but parenting is a full time commitment
@@google_is_a_criminalyou're so dumb. You should not think it's ok for a mom to k!ll her own child. It is the parents fault. People should not have a firearm under the age of 21. It's the law doofus.
I wouldn’t know how to feel about this if I was Jordan’s girlfriend. So basically he cheated as well for sending those nudes but got busted by a scammer.
Anyone else wondering why there is no investigation into the family’s storage of firearms? Unprotected firearms in US homes contribute to millions of unwarranted deaths per year and this family and officials should be considering why a 17 year old had easier access to a firearm than he did the comforting guidance of an open communication line with his parents, before immediately rushing to disproportionally blame social media when the fault largely lies with the perpetrators and those responsible for not preventing a 17 year old access to a firearm.
This happened to my son when he was 15, thank God he’s still alive. Sometimes I wonder if it was the same people reported here because they had the exact same MO.
