When Amanda died I feel like the media made this too much about the bullying aspect at her school and not enough about the fact that Amanda was a victim of an actual organized crime organization.
well yeah, they had a political agenda to spin it towards that got them money via tax dollars... wait you didn't think people of the media cared about the truth did you?
@kooljokez You're not alone. When Demi Lovato did a tribute concert for her she also seemed to believe it was the result of bullying. And when Teens React did a video on it they also thought it was a bullying thing because one girl said that there are people who commit suicide for better reasons.
The fact this case was swept under the "bullying" umbrella is appalling. Growing up I always thought she flashed one of her friends or some guy from school, nobody ever talked about how she was stalked, harassed, and brutally blackmailed by pedophiles to the point of moving multiple times. It's a very misunderstood case and I'm glad to know the real story. I hope her soul is resting now and that those who did this will burn.
I've thought about the same thing, too, and then I watched a video from AGuyfromMars about the creep from across the sea that blackmailed Amanda Todd into doing inappropriate things and tormented her for the rest of her life, but to find out that not only him, but a ring of creeps like him on the internet were in on her torment just makes me angry Edit: AGamerfromMars, not AGuyfromMars
Today was the day I learned that it in fact was not someone from school. Went my whole life thinking it was someone who actually knew her from the same area.
Same here. Really reminded me about that era of the internet and the response most people had to cyber bullying in general. When I first heard about Amanda she was brushed under the bullying umbrella and every adult, and even fellow kids were talking About how it was partially (or all) her fault for "messing" on the internet. There were videos of people parodying her flashcards video on RUclips. Tosh.0 even went in on it. And that was just the general air towards kids who committed suicide. Even the news as they reported seriously there was a feeling by the reporter that they didn't really think it was serious or they were looking down on the kid. I thought Amanda's case was just bullying, but it was so disgusting and devastating and it got buried and minimized by so many people that it's not common knowledge what really happened, and it should be.
A capper did this to me at 12 years old back in 2011. I was talking to who I thought was a 16 year old boy, but looking back it was probably a child predator. We talked for awhile and he convinced me to send him pics in a swimsuit. After he got the swimsuit photo he threatened to put it on a CP site and forward the photo to my family if I didn’t send him more content. Thankfully I didn’t send him anything else. I just panicked. I blocked him and deleted all my accounts and spent the next 6 months in a constant state of anxiety. I never told anyone. I was too young to understand that I was the victim and was completely ashamed.
I’m so so sorry. I almost got capped as well as a kid, thankfully I made the decision to just log off the internet for a full year. I think that decision saved my life.
As a kid, I always thought the Amanda Todd case was one of heavy bullying, not a case of dedicated harassment by malevolent pedophiles that drove her to do what she did. The fact the narrative was so skewed to be the face of an “anti-bullying” campaign is disturbing.
It is disturbing, and it's the result of the media not doing due diligence and just rushing to push out a story. Remember when Robin Williams committed suicide and the media pushed out a story about depression? Years later it turned out he had a form of early onset dementia, but the media made up their mind what the story was about and it wasn't discussed ever again.
yeah, why is it always the child predators that get off with light sentences. I swear, if he had been a normal criminal then they probably would've given him a way harsher sentence, its like they like pedos. Bunch of scumbags.
It should be life in prison imo. If you exploit a child and cause their death you don't ever deserve to be walking around with the general populace again.
Another unfortunate part of this story that's not really known: Her autopsy photos were leaked and spread on many dark web sites. Even after taking her life, people still, disgustingly, found more ways to torment her after death. It truly shows how horrible people can be online, and it's beyond sad what she went through in life, and even after death.
theres an article from 2012 saying the RCMP investigated the claim that her autopsy photos were leaked and it wasnt true and no photos were leaked. so im assuming someone just put out random dead body photos and said it was amanda. I found an page where this sick person was talking about it and saying horrible things about amanda. but they and the other members of the page concluded the picture isnt amanda. And another article I found from CBC news says "Thiessen ( the police sergeant at the time) said that another rumour suggested autopsy photos had been leaked - a false story that caused Todd's family extreme stress. No autopsy was performed on the 15-year-old.
@@bhperfig349 I guess that is hard to dispute. It was probably 5 years ago I saw the photos. I remember pulling up pictures of her side by side and saying “wow.. it really is her. That’s horrible..” Hindsight, it could have been very well photoshopped. A lot of similar photos get leaked by employees or compromised systems, so it’s easy to assume it to be true.
@@MrComicallyBad Yea. There was no face in the photos though. Just body. The reason people thought it was her was because the body looked to be that of a young girl and had rope marks on the neck and such.
So a group of sadistic pedophiles would prey and manipulate young to very young girls into performing sexual acts only then to torment them, and blackmail them to do whatever they want? But in the event they committed suicide they would toss them away like garbage and move onto the next victim? Truly sickening. I honestly wish these pieces of shit would be charged with murder if the victim took their own life.
Just a reminder to teens out there; Any explicit photos of you out there are nothing too embarrassing to tell somebody. You are unlikely to face legal repercussions especially if you are being blackmailed (in the USA). I promise you it is embarrassing in the moment, but it's so much better to have support (personal and legal) behind you than trying to face this alone. And in 5 or 6 years it's likely nobody will remember it, especially not in a way that puts you in a negative light. Not your close friends or family, or anyone else. Know that you are the victim and there is nothing to be ashamed of in this situation.
But it is possible for said teens to be charged THEMSELVES, even if they took it themselves. There’s been cases like that, and it ended with them being charged with Cheese Pizza, and possibly put on the register.
@@bimates2690 Its up to the prosecutor and a LOT less likely in situations like blackmail. Not enough of a risk for a kid being blackmailed not to speak up
@@evongilford392that’s the scary thing about online anonymity. Its now easier than ever to have widespread reach and still be completely anonymous. If you look into these cases, most of them only get caught cause they got sloppy. Many are never found and are walking amongst you right now.
My daughter got harassed by a capper. When he said he had caps and was gonna post them, she answered, “ok cool”. He did post one screen shot and it turned out it wasn’t even her, but the guy was found and sentenced to two years.
@@Keznen You tell me! He is an individual from Iraq, living in Texas. He was stalking and capping several girls, but the only thing they could get him for was possessing photos of a 8 year old girl in a Houston mall dressing room; It was her parents that got the judicial ball rolling. Although we went to law enforcement about his threat that he followed through but with another girls’ picture as my daughter never posed on the internet, cops couldn’t do anything because all they uncovered was not enough for more than what the judge declared as “fair”.
I wasn’t harassed by one. As they only contacted me a couple of times. But I have a similar reply. Something calling their bluff. And just like your daughter, it wasn’t even me. This was back when Kik was the popping app. Fortunately I never interacted with grown men on there because I learned from my parents. But I had friends that did.
So you’re telling me if someone performs an abortion or steals food for family they get more sentences than monsters like these? The justice system is sick
@@covenantfemboy so if a child is raped they should still keep the baby? Imagine an 8 year old being forcefully impregnated and they should go through all that pain that only women are able to endure? If the abortion was the only thing that could save that 8 year olds’ life she should be put in juvi? Okay 💀
@@Slinky_0wlet Yes you have to go to the worst case scenario in order for your disgusting belief to ever have merit. in that scenario the baby shouldn't be kept, Obviously
13 years for ruining the life of one sweet girl and possibly many others is just not enough. Amanda lost a whole future, her parents lost their daughter. The damage he's done is forever. He should have gotten life in prision.
Thats not the dutch justice system, my friend, 13 years is probably just a showcase because the case was international. Look up punishments for murder n grape in the Netherlands. Its disgusting. But if I ever see aydin walk the streets, hes gonna be f'd up. Im certain this precedence will haunt him in many more other places (including jail.)
As someone who was victim to blackmail when i was 16-17, it is never your fault your being blackmailed, reach out and get help. Once i told my family and trusted adults we were able to get help and the 4 people involved have since been arrested. Please reach out no matter how embarrassing it may be at the time.
Every early-mid 2000's teens know this as the turning point in internet bullying. Rest in Peace, Amanda Todd; your story has likely saved more lives than you ever thought.
Honestly as a kid growing up in the early 2000's i just thought it was some cringe trend on facebook took me a while to figure out the whole backstory about it and then i thought it was a chainmail kinda thing like "my name is something something something im just something years old and my friends pushed me into a well" oo i miss those days
Amanda Todd wasn't from the 2000's her case happened in the 2010's which were still wild west internet days and I remember happening this clear as day because I was 23
You really think the legal system and justice system care about dealing with pdfiles? The answer is no. All justice systems around the world are corrupt.
Something I cannot forget is the hatred Amanda got after her death. I became very interested in her case as a child back then and it was so scary seeing how the internet treated her after her death. There were videos (and one in particular I remember, of this woman who drank water from bleach as a way of mocking Amanda’s death) saying Amanda’s death didn’t deserve attention and that she “got what was coming”. As a child myself back then I never understood why so many of these ADULTS hated this child who was exploited and had her life ruined. Also, I recall her family had a huge stalker that created a blog basically saying Amanda was a full blown cam girl and her mother was a psychopath. That blog became pretty big iirc, I cannot remember what the guys name was.
They weren’t all of them adults but they were influenced easily by the bad people, youth is brainwashed easily , I have this saying and I always go by it , be a leader not a follower ! Period
For that very reason. They’re young and innocent and impressionable. They like taking advantage of the weak. Sick and disgusting and none of them should ever see the outside of a prison cell. That’s just me tho idk
There's evil men who take pleasure in hurting and corrupting the innocent. These can range from women, children, and even other men as well. It's a nasty form of degeneracy
@@yoshigamemaster6127 i dont expect a 12 year old to know better but i would expect the adults involved to not harass a child for being sexually exploited online. it's absolutely not her fault.
A very sad update to this story- Amanda's stalker just had his sentence cut to only 6 years in prison. He continues to show no remorse and has still never apologized to Todd or her family. Stalking and harassment laws seriously need to be tightened in almost every single country in the world, it's so wrong
You need to understand how deep this goes. Look up and read the article written by Lori Handrahan titled 'When Law Enforcement Is The Perpetrator" She has also extensively covered and exposed pediatricians/doctors, military, school principles and more. The World needs to WAKE UP
@@pwandld50 Unfortunately, I don't doubt that at all. The sheer volume of harassment these blackmailed girls have gone through seems unlikely to have only been done by a small group of people, it is terrifyingly sophisticated
Pedophiles, rapist, abusers and similars should expend their whole life on prision. Nothing or nobody will ever convince me to change my mind about that.
They can only get you if you care. If Amanda didn't care and said so what ? everyone has boobs, so what ? That would've been the end of it. She didn't have enough experience to know that unfortunately.
@@lorimiller4301idk man i think it’s completely reasonable to care about having your nudes spread around the internet and to everyone you’ve ever talked to. especially at the age where you’re the most self conscious.
@@lorimiller4301 She should have turned it around on him. "You have pictures of my boobs? You're possessing child pornography now you're going to be arrested". Owned.
This is probably the most insane and disturbing video I’ve ever seen. Growing up I always thought that Amanda was just a victim of bullying, not an organization of criminals. I had no idea how big this was at the time. And not to mention they used crash box which used to be one of my favorite childhood shows. What the hell
Me too, you can't imagine the exploitation and sextortion that happened to her. I feel sorry for the kid, and these idiots want continue to humiliate her even in death. Shame on them! That infuriates me a lot.
I watched her mother pass new legislation in Amanda's home province of British Columbia recently. The act is meant to give kids who are victims of sexploitation like Amanda better resources to get cases handled faster and simpler. it was so moving, yet utterly heartbreaking to be in the same room as Carol for that moment.
It's bittersweet in every sense of the word. Proud of people for overcoming and doing good in the face of tragedy, but they absolutely don't deserve to go through those tragedies in the first place.
True, I had no idea that capping meant taking those horrible pictures. I grew up in an era where "cap" was a synonym for "lie." I think it's just a coincidence the meanings share the same word, though.
I've only ever known "capping" in its (what I assume to be it's full form) thats "screen-cap" which i understand as another work to say screenshot and based on that it probably originates from screen capture
@@user-k._.t.r Ah, yeah nowadays phrases like screengrab and screenshot are more popular, probably not to get confused with the other meaning of "capping"
Does anyone remember how, after Amanda's death, people began parodying her video? That, alone, was sickening. What these people did to countless children is beyond reprehensible.
I remember this. The media pushed a false narrative that this was due to "cyberbullying" and made it seem like she had been targetted by people from her school. At the time the media often threw this term at anything so as a result her case was made fun of along with most things the media would label as cyberbullying.
I will never forget how the internet created a meme out of her death. I still have no words to express how horrifying it was to be a teenage girl on the internet back then.
I was a part of all of this. I feel horrible about it now. I was 16 when Amanda Todd's blackmail began. 4chan twisted my brain, or made it normal to be insensitive. I was going through very messed up abuse myself and I felt like it was ok because of what I've had to go through. I probably shouldn't say more. I feel horrible to this day and I'm not going to finish the video.
@@the_original_Bilb_Ono what you did was horrible, but that does not make you yourself horrible. Sometimes people do very bad things out of misplaced hatred. You showing that you have reflected on your actions and recognize them as disgusting, vile, and immoral are very good signs that you have changed. Take your mistakes as an opportunity to learn and educate yourself, and don't be too hard on yourself for falling down the fucked up 4chan pipeline. The internet does crazy things to an underdeveloped mind. Stay safe.
@@the_original_Bilb_OnoIf it would help you feel better and help make up for the hurt you might have caused, maybe whenever you see people being callous or bullying people on RUclips you can defend them in the comments. You can be a voice to help defend others now.
I grew up using the internet a lot, mostly on mmos and virtual world/social games, and I'm so glad I never came across these livestreaming and chatroom sites; it's crazy that these people were able to operate like this for such a long time
The mother of Amanda Todd actually came to my school this year to talk about how to avoid the fate Amanda suffered. She was a genuinely nice woman, and it sucks to know her daughter went through what she went through. R.I.P Amanda, fly high.
@@TuriGamer Dude... You are so adamant on blaming anyone but the men in this situation. You're literally under so many of these comment threads my guy. Touch fucking grass.
@@TuriGamer dude, what a fucking disgusting thing you said.... she is trying to educate kids on the dangers out there and to be careful with what they share/do online, so no other kids have to go through the pain her daughter and family went through.
Disgusting, just absolutely disgusting. I am a victim of online blackmailing myself and the trauma it caused me is unmeasureable. My heart goes out to all the victims
Some of them are the same guys who will shout about women not having any accountability for their actions or decisions. Police and other public servants don’t train in psychology and most don’t know the average human brain doesn’t fully understand the difference between right and wrong among other things until after the age of 25.
They live lives of constant self-loathing and crushing misery and they blame everyone but themselves, and instead of dealing with it in a healthy way they choose to go out of their way to be as disgusting and horrible as they think they can get away with, usually consisting of making other people's lives ten times as constantly miserable to fill the void in the empty place where their souls should be. They usually try to think of the most vulnerable people they can ruin and go after them relentlessly, usually women and children, most often both, then they act cocky about it to make themselves feel like they're "Cool" for distributing an underaged girl's photos to the entire internet and harassing her to the point of killing herself so they can feel even more like they're super cool and evil and have the power to manipulate others. It's dangerously pathetic in every sense of the word, and this all probably applies to people like racists, queerphobes, serial killers who kill and then act like smarmy bastards, people like that. It's sickeningly pathetic and people like this deserve to be put in the electric chair so they can't hurt and traumatize anyone else so that THEY will grow up to resent the world for their emptiness and turn to a life of causing pain and suffering as well.
I mean, she still should've known better, but that's not even the problem. People just shouldn't act like this regardless. Yeah she messed up, but that doesn't mean harass her either. It's crazy
@@TheNinjaNiky At 13 you don’t have the capacity to understand that your actions (like flashing online) have long term consequences and can put you at risk of danger. Your prefrontal cortex is nowhere near fully developed in order to do so. Stop victim blaming.
@snm56693 and I never victim blamed to begin with, that would mean I said she deserved it. Which I'm pretty sure I said the opposite. She didn't, it was horrible. But let's not ignore that she had a part as well. Had she not did it, things would've been different. So obviously yeah she needs some blame there. But regardless of any of this. Those people were just scumbags and her mistake unfortunately unfolded with them. They deserve to be outted and ostracized
As a victim of capping, I feel so hard for Amanda. I actually never knew that her death was directly related to a capping ring, in school they always told us is was mainly bullying. I think it should be a requirement to have education to youth about internet safety. It goes beyond hiding your name and your location. Young girls get manipulated, harassed and coaxed into vulnerable and dangerous situations.
@@glosiahrye i’m so sorry about that experience, and i’m glad nothing came out of it for everyone’s sake especially yours. when i was younger i almost went through a similar experience but thankfully i backed off and didn’t do continue
@glosiahrye So you did do things on online but they didn't record you? Or something else happened as you said you were a victim of capping? That's what capping is!
@@shanecoolman8why do people always say shit like this as soon as someone mentions problems in another country? Like seriously do you think it’s progressive or something to act like the only place bad things happen are the US, the US sucking ass and other places having issues as well aren’t mutually exclusive
as someone who's been raped [edit: in meatspace. i've decided this would be digital rape, that's the best way to describe it imo to acknowledge that it's just as fucking bad.] agreed. agreed agreed.
Agree. Someone I know/knew was virtually raped. (was forced to get someone off online, and the person gave photo proof, with the threat of being doxxed or swatted) and they were literally traumatized, because they were forced to do it while they had a partner. That partner didn’t believe them, so the partner yelled at them for ‘cheating’ and every so often they still have PTSD attacks because of it.
At least they found the piece of shit who started all of this. Unfortunately he had SO MANY victims. And now a judge in Amsterdam is delaying the sentencing related to Amanda Todd. It's so infuriating.
I watched the video before where Amanda Todd told her story before she passed away. And oh my . It's hard to imagine the things she and other victims like her had to go through. I bet many of us would get terribly traumatised and maybe even for life if we were in her position. Let's hope no more people especially kids fall victims into sickos' like those who had caused her and so many others so much pain
I remember my school councilor would show us this video and explained to us about bullying. I remember I didn’t pay much attention since I was little but now that I rewatch the video this changed what I always thought about her.
If any of you ever go through blackmailing like this, ignore the person and block them. All they want to see is your reaction and you to pay them money. This is a little bit different then normal blackmailing because these people are just evil.
The issue with this is that they were actually showing it to their family and friends and classmates. It's more of a don't do anything at all situation.
I did as a kid, I just got lucky I ended up on RUclips and was so entertained by the stupid videos I found I never went anywhere else really because I had no reason to. Sure old RUclips pre google might have had some disturbing videos because there was no age restriction but i didn’t see anything traumatizing.
@@sentienttapioca5409 they're mostly in the replies of other comments, not phrased the exact same tho. a lot of "she handled it poorly" arguments and criticizing how she reacted to the case
@@sentienttapioca5409 Oh, I’m seeing a few of these comments alright, since I’m one of them. Amanda was at fault. Edit: jeez, people clearly can’t handle how to take a joke! 🙄
The way a lot of those unfamiliar with the situation just called it “bullying” is so unfair to me. It was far more than just that. This was straight up stalking and harassment. With a bit of sextortion as well. I remember my school using her as an anti bullying campaign. We were never told how truly severe it was so a lot of us just brushed it off because “cyber bullying couldn’t be that bad, it’s just some mean names” and we hadn’t been told the full story. Hearing about the truth when I did I was truly disgusted and really disappointed that the story was never fully explained as what it was
Bullying in itself is a word to downplay the reality. The word hiding behind it is harassement, if not more. When it's adults, it's harassement, when it's minor, it's bullying, as if it's "less important". As if no kid ever commit suicide from it. As if kid's brain are not still developing their emotions and traumatic experience like that will have bigger lasting effect because it messes with the brain development
It's disgusting/baffling to me that girls like Amanda and Jessie Slaughter (sp?) were harassed and mocked online for... being groomed and blackmailed by predators as minors? There's things I miss about the 'wild west' days of the internet but this kind of shit is not one of them.
Seriously and has Dahvie Vanity ever even seen the bars of a cell? It's not the only time he's been accused and yet nothing has ever been done to my knowledge. It's so easy as a young girl to fall for these sickos and for them to take advantage. Smh
@@candiedpandie TMK Dahvie is currently sitting with SA accusations in the triple digits, having done hypersexual shit to minors ONSTAGE WITH VIDEO PROOF and not a single warrant is out for him. I'm fairly sure he's still performing. Absolute sicko
I'll never understand how people always blame the victim no matter how young. How on earth do people expect a child to handle real threats and crimes?? When I was 15 I was constantly pressured by a 21 year old guy to draw NSFW for him online. Luckily he wasn't too pushy and I refused, but like I know I also would have been freaking out and probably giving into a strangers demands out of fear for my safety.
Justice system likes pedos getting just a slap on the wrist while the rest of society thinks that a bullet to the back of the head is a perfect cure to it.
Fellow parents, its not just about monitoring or controlling our kids internet access. Its also about having frank discussions about the reality of social media and the way people can prey off of unsuspecting kids. It needs to be a holistic view of internet interaction that is heavily weighted towards an education they can take forward in life to protect themselves, both physically and reputationally.
I was a young adult back in 2000, and already into gaming and IRC chatting and BDSM channels and all that crap. I've lived through it and now have the acumen to be able to talk to son in earnest about all this, and not just as a vague notion. He's gotten the point, ever since he first started gaming and surfing, and has never fallen prey to anything worse than ingame harassment.
I was 10 when Amanda died. Her story helped me realize that what I was experiencing at home was sexual abuse and that I needed to tell someone. I will never forget how people mocked her death and didn't take her abuse seriously. She and so many other children and teens deserved better. + Resquiescat in pace, Amanda Todd. +
This paints a grim look on how unmoderated the internet was back in the day. Disgusting people like these were crawling around the clear net facing little to no consequences. Even now there’s still people like these in dark corners. Rest in peace to Amanda, this was a horrific experience she shouldn’t have gone through.
Because now it is? We are more controlled but moderation is another deal, just look how many cases of CP/grooming occur. At least before there were more "safe" space with sites made FOR kids.
If you were in middle school/high school during Amanda Todd video you know some of the heartless memes that people just openly shared no one thought it was real it felt like. Looking back it was so disgusting.
So glad sites like omegle have been closed down because of this, they may be ‘iconic’ to some but the amount of times minors have been made vulnerable to creeps on video chat especially with older men is ridiculous. No one deserves to be put through this, and I am hoping if anyone here has a similar story, they are able to heal and realise it is never their fault no matter what anyone else might say. People are disgusting.
i had this happen to me as a minor, and it is still one of the scariest things i've ever been through. no one ever blackmailed me, instead they leaked all of my personal information. all of my social medias, my phone number and probably more i'm just unaware about. i'd get dm's saying someone found me online on places like 4chan, and i ended up with online stalkers who'd pop up here and there for about 3 years after it happened. i ended up in threads on reddit, had pictures of myself messaged to me by people trying to scare me, and also spam called by multiple people some days. although i do feel ashamed that i put myself in that situation in the first place, i was still a kid and my parents had no control over my internet access, and they should have. i don't know if anyone will read this but please keep yourself safe online and never trust a stranger, i was just lucky that my situation wasn't worse than it was.

Oh man i grew up watching Crashbox as a kid, it was one of my favorite shows growing up Seeing the news anchor lady from Distraction News used in such a disgusting way, tarnishing what was an entertaining and funny parody skit about wacky scenarios, absolutely sickens me What they have this lighthearted kids show news anchor say about children who were manipulated into exposing themselves is awful I wish more of them were caught because this is absolutely vile what was done to these kids and how they were so twisted they used a kids show character to talk about it
I loved crash box. It’s a wonderful memory I have with my grandparents spending good time with them watching the show when I was a young kid. To see it tarnished makes me unreasonably angry.
I was thinking the same thing. I still think of Crashbox once in awhile and how they even used Kingdom Hearts' Coliseum photo and music for the "awards" is f'ed up. Taking kids shows and games and distorting them such a way is incredibly unsettling.
Literally came form here to say something similar. I'm so disgusted, this is a show I would watch with my kids when I have them. To know that it was used like this makes me sick. None of those kids deserved that.
this is definitely one of the hardest videos to watch, i feel sick. sadly we can't do much more than teaching kids to be safe and hope that they all have adults they can trust if someone ever tries to harm them in any way, i remember being asked por nude pictures all the time on facebook when i was 12, these monsters are everywhere
i felt sick during all of the segments talking about their very young victims but the mention of the eight year old little girl was what truly struck me. i hope her and her sister are doing okay now.
I grew up in this era. The internet really was like the "wild west" in this age. Even though the internet is more regulated/censored now than it was, it isn't any safer. No doubt this STILL goes on today. With TikTok, Snapchat, Discord, ect.. there are and always will be more Amanda Todd's.
Not true, your world view is just darker because you're traumatized (even if you don't feel like that). Most comments agree with this because most of you were those kids growing up in a shit environment and around shit morals, that's why you can't see the good things. The internet is not as bad as it was before. And saying that "it is and it will always be" that bad is irresponsible. You're giving up and in your attitude being part of the next victim's downfall.
Still blows my mind just how insanely ignorant so many of us were of how dangerous the internet was in its early stages. Such a sad and unfortunate story where innocence was stolen from someone by despicable people.
Yeah humanity can be innovative An amazing when it creates a new invention to help mankind unfortunately other humans get their hands on it and completely destroy ITIT's like humans have completely destroyed and desiccated everything that was meant to be good But you know what The good side always wins the The light will always shine into the dark We have to keep that in our minds And hearts
@@WobblesandBean No one's saying it doesn't happen anymore, the comment's just saying that it's scary how much we didn't know a decade ago. Of course, you can say that that doesn't make a whole lot of difference if the same stuff happens (especially with the predators using AI now, if you take MamaMax's video on a wide scale), but that's a different argument.
Why are you talking as if any of these issues arent 20 times worse today The difference between today and then is that during her time emo culture and suicide was romanticized
I remember seeing the video of Amanda Todd in my health class while we were talking about cyber bullying and Suicide. I remember being heartbroken. I actually teared up. Its still an unbelievable story. Tragic.
I remember my school playing anti bullying videos.. But did Jack shit when people got bullied to point of severe depression.. I remember poetry of guy talking about how school affect mental health. That brought me to tears because I felt alone and no adult helped.
I'm actually so glad someone is covering this channel in depth. I remember coming across it a few months back and just kept thinking about the lack of coverage about it at all. The channel is just depravity embodied really and it's disgusting. Thank you nick.
Crazy how youtube wouldn't just hand over the IP address of the capper to law enforcement. It's not like it would be that hard to do, even in that era.
@@BTTRSWYT RUclips has a monopoly on Video sharing, and they know it, which is why they don't bother to fix anything, despite all the controversies. (Other sites have tried and failed to compete with RUclips in the past.) TikTok is the closest thing that RUclips has to a "competitor".
@@gerragotheallidile at least now they trend towards more conservative when it comes to managing content as opposed to allowing anything and everything like they used to. Still obnoxious but the obviously better alternative. (with the exception of the naare guy)
I'm glad that as a child, i grew up playing just minecraft, roblox, and watching youtube. I never spoke to anyone online, and if someone did i never responded. I didnt get social media until i was 17, but even now i dont have anything because its full of toxic people and brainrot. this is truly fucked up- i saw it happen once in front of my eyes with one of my friends who was 13.
I remember this happening like it was yesterday, it was insanely disgusting how an uncomfortable amount of ppl considered her a lolcow for her "gullibility" in all this, and if you felt any sympathy whatsoever you were a normie cuck. 11 years later and if any of them still harbor the same beliefs about this case from 2012 to now then they're definitely beyond anybody's help, like jfc this kid was 15
Bro she sent nudes and did it to herself. Wtf are you on about. It’s like whenever a pathetic person without morals sees a woman they can’t be blamed. You’re delusional
Some people are truly disgusting and they’ll never say that kind of stuff with their real name and real photo 99% of the time. It’s too easy to hide behind a username, anonymity really brings out the worst in some people.
I think the reason she was made fun of so bad after her death is because how much of the story was untold to teens at the time. I was 12 when this happened and I remember when we had people come to my school and talk to us about it. They used words that had no impact like “cyber bullying” and “name calling”. When what actually happened to her was truely disgusting
☘️ Notice how the Daily Capper puts one last show on after the girls death?? And also notice how they, all of the sudden, have empathy for the girl by calling her death a tragedy?? They weren't calling the stalking, blackmail, and victimizing girls tragic until a death occurred. They were exalting the abuse. They wanted to quickly point the finger when things got serious and police were involved.
Also don’t forget when the girl in 2010 killed herself and they said “wherever she is now, we won’t remember next week” It’s the definition of trying to clear your name to make you look better
they probably only called it tragic bcs they wont get any new pics from her. disgusting human being these people. my heart goes out to anyone who went through this.
you got it wrong. the reason why they suddenly throw fake empathy after Amanda's death is because one of their top members got exposed, having his personal info leaked
They only did it out of fear that Anonymous would turn their attention on them, even though they got the identity of her actual stalker/blackmailer wrong they still exposed a huge player in the capping world
I can remmeber when amanda died hearing friends say "yeah sure its sad shes dead but she was no angel she was a slut etc etc etc" and i immediately stopped talking to them. I couldn't believe people could be so cruel. They were all 16yo edge lords. Part of me believes at least two or three of them could have been active in this community. There were some fucked up people at mt school.
Big props to Nick for having the presence of mind not to put an ad on a video about Amanda Todd’s s****de. Such a nice change of pace from “child murder, sexual assault, it’s terrible, but what’s NOT terrible is Skill Share…”
Very true. I don’t like when people do that like “hey lets talk about tragedy but then also add a quick promotion for some service I won’t use. I’d rather just sit here listening to the bitter end and be more aware of people and the evil they’re capable of.
Torture as punishment sounds like a good concept, but you have to keep in mind all the innocent people that would be accused of doing bad things despite them not actually doing anything
i remember being on twitter during this. i defended her as best as i could. but even after she passed the amount of grown ass men attacking her made me sick. i was 13 at that time. i was new to social media and couldn’t believe people would actually do something so disgusting. these days wouldn’t be surprised if it happened again.
@Ghhh-vu2yg If I was as unlikeable, unfunny, and unattractive as you, I would be commenting the same thing. Doing anything for attention is one way to cope I guess.
its been years since amanda died, and i still fucking cry over her. may she rest in peace. i know what its like to be bullied, and to have the traumatic experience of CSA, and i hate that they drove her to that point. we love you, amanda.
I remember when this happened kids would make fun of her STILL and it pains me that our teachers didnt sit us all tf down and tell us what really happened she was literally abused by ADULTS online which translated to her peers this isnt just a case of depression its a case of desperation, abuse and being preyed upon by pedophiles in school they did us a disservice by hearing kids talk badly about the situation and not trying to educate us on how horrible it really was and how easily it would be for one of us to be preyed upon like this.. i even grew up in canada too just insane such a tragedy that it ended the way it did
the fact that there are videos highlighting the awful things that have happened on youtube throughout its existence is truly remarkable. it's insane how many horrible and irredeemable people there are that have existed on the site, and showing these cases helps bring even more light to situations like this. thank you for making these videos.
I remember growing up hearing about Amanda and only hearing about “cyber bullying” and classmates bullying her. If only everyone knew it was so much more serious than that
Same, it makes me so sad and angry, I remember vividly people at school joking about her :( I'm sure they'd feel disgusted with themselves if they knew.. rest in peace Amanda
That was the official line, that same line was fed to us over here in Europe as well. It was the beginning of the Beware of Cyber Bullying european initiative or somesuch. This is straight up CP though and a crime.
most people would assume that capping is gone because of how streaming has become more structured and moderated. capping still very much exists in its own ways and has not really declined at all
Of course people still do this. A teenage boy thought he was snapchatting a girl he likes but turned out to be a hacker from another country so when he sent a naked picture they used it to blackmail him for money. They broke the kid down the same way until he killed himself. They were found in a country on the other side of the world and prosecuted but that was the most recent case in SC where I stay so I heard about it on the news. I'm sure it happens everyday all over the world these days
He was only jailed in 2022 but will be out before we know it. It's almost been 13 years since Amanda's death in 2012, and think of how quickly that time has flown by. Horrifying thought - he deserves way longer. I hope every minute of those 13 years in jail feels like an eternity in hell for him.
@@MaxwellCapacity Another commenter said he did time in New Zealand and then Canada total of 23 yrs? which is it? either way he needs the shit kicked out of him via torture until he releases some more names of his pedo associates as soon as he's out.
It’s always so surreal for me when I see things about Amanda Todd. We had a few mutual friends, but I never met her. After she passed, we had a huge meeting with councilors and, in hindsight, probably one or two local police officers. I was in ninth grade at the time, and it was the first time that I really realized how dangerous people can be on the internet. Obviously, I was told but I never realized it. RIP Amanda ❤️
Seeing something like Crashbox that was such a huge part of my childhood be associated with an online community that's so dark and depraved just disturbs me. Everything about this disturbs me. My heart goes out to every single girl who found themselves blackmailed by these sick, sick people. I hope you're all able to heal from what you went through. May Amanda Todd's beautiful soul rest in peace, along with anyone else who took their lives as a result from this community's actions, and may every individual out there who took part in "capping" rot in hell.
I would wake up at 7 am on weekends to watch Crashbox whenever I stayed at my grandparents house. It was my favorite show, and still one of my favorites to this very day. I never saw it as creepy, just very creative with its style. Seeing a fond memory of mine be used to announce underaged girls being blackmailed and abused is such a disturbing juxtaposition. I hope Amanda forever rests in peace, and all of the other innocent people who were negatively affected by this are living a happy and fulfilling life, never being reminded of the horrors they had to go through. I also hope that the people behind this rot forever.
I love Crashbox too. Thats actually why I clicked this video cause I recognized Dora in the thumbnail. I also remember coming across Amanda's Todd's story as i was doing a paper on bullying when i was in high school and Im pretty sure I cried at some point. especially cause i experiences my fair share of real life bullying during most of my younger years. I had no idea that her s situation was so deep and it's terrible to find out that she wasnt the only one subjected to such inhumane treatment. 13 years was not long enough
exactly! it was a punch to the gut seeing my girl dora smarmy being used for such a horrendous and repulsive cp showcase so casually and out in the open, it’s genuinely appalling to me. this as well as the kingdom hearts 2 coliseum music during the “blackmail awards show” was very nostalgic for me, and seeing both of these childhood memories recreated in such a disgusting light was awful. rest in peace to amanda todd and the countless other victims, because god is this story horrifying.
Same here. I used to watch that show when I was a kid, and this was the first I heard of that segment being used like this. People do some really messed up stuff online.
A friend of mine had a little sister who took her own life at 14. It was a total shock. She was the most beautiful girl you’d ever seen, with tons of friends and always happy. Thing is she had recently become quite popular after being a bit plain and shy as a kid. She was getting attention from older guys and guys who didn’t even go to her school. It was never publicly stated by her family what had caused it, but I always suspected something along these blackmail lines.
This exact situation happened to me, except not on a livestream, but over AIM. The dude stalked me for ten years, blackmailed me, contacted my relatives, etc. I'm computer savvy and was able to scrub most of my accounts and hide from the guy. Eventually he stopped trying to contact me. I don't remember his name, I think it was TJ or Tyler or Trevor, and he lived in either Wisconsin or Minnesota. I've tried logging in to my old AIM accounts to find him and actually report what happened, but I've never had any luck. I've told no one but my closest best friend, and after a lot of introspection and self-hatred, I realized I was exploited as a literal child and that it wasn't my fault. I no longer blame myself for it. I wasn't a "dumb" kid, I was a vulnerable kid. It's weird knowing there's probably photos of me out there, but it is what it is. I have a good life and a great job, he wasn't able to destroy me the way he wanted to.
I was dealing with these same sickos in 2011 until 2013 and when i found out about Amanda Todd i thought it was even more reason not to talk about what i was going through. The depression and fear of it all can truly tear you apart and I'm lucky none of these men hunted me down at the end of it all.. It was probably due to the fear Amandas investigation caused in that sick "community" I hope to never have that part of my life be reopened again.
Irrespective of being a dad to a 12-year-old son, this should scare the life out of every person on the planet. I tend not to get scared, but the utter depravity and unadulterated abu** these children suffer is nothing short of gutwrenching! I'm all for VPNs, but when it involves children in any way, shape, or form, a silent alert should automatically be triggered when visiting specific blacklisted sites known for depravity, and the offender's IP should be sent immediately to the police. Amanda Todd and every child deserves safety!
this. the people blaming the children in the comments disturbs me just as much too. alongside the fact that none of them listen when I explain why they should be blaming the fully developed adults... (yes, YOU TuriGamer since you're so obsessed with stalking this video's comment section for any excuse to victim blame.)
Every grade school ive been to has had anti bullying and internet safety assemblies where they would show Amanda Todd's video on a big screen for all the students to watch. Something about broadcasting what was basically a girls suicide note as a "lesson" always rubbed me the wrong way. RIP Amanda.
Honestly dawg the fact that you chose not to do a sponsor for this one is really admirable. A lot of horror/true crime youtubers do sponsorships where it feels really tone deaf, and I've come to expect that and not to judge too harshly, but the fact that you didnt plug a product before talking about a suicide epidemic restored some of my faith in humanity that I didnt realize I'd lost.
I clicked on here thinking you were going to talk about crash box, this right here is totally outta body and I would not have know about this phenomenon without clicking on this video. This is madness and quite scary!

When Amanda died I feel like the media made this too much about the bullying aspect at her school and not enough about the fact that Amanda was a victim of an actual organized crime organization.
There's not a lot of information about this, it's so new and underground. People aren't really educated about it.
if people knew about that part there wouldnt be cruel bleach jokes. I had no idea I thought it was bullying from school
well yeah, they had a political agenda to spin it towards that got them money via tax dollars...
wait you didn't think people of the media cared about the truth did you?
@kooljokez You're not alone. When Demi Lovato did a tribute concert for her she also seemed to believe it was the result of bullying. And when Teens React did a video on it they also thought it was a bullying thing because one girl said that there are people who commit suicide for better reasons.
I vividly remember the Amanda Todd tragedy but this is literally the first I've heard about the full scope of her case.
The fact this case was swept under the "bullying" umbrella is appalling. Growing up I always thought she flashed one of her friends or some guy from school, nobody ever talked about how she was stalked, harassed, and brutally blackmailed by pedophiles to the point of moving multiple times. It's a very misunderstood case and I'm glad to know the real story. I hope her soul is resting now and that those who did this will burn.
I've thought about the same thing, too, and then I watched a video from AGuyfromMars about the creep from across the sea that blackmailed Amanda Todd into doing inappropriate things and tormented her for the rest of her life, but to find out that not only him, but a ring of creeps like him on the internet were in on her torment just makes me angry
Edit: AGamerfromMars, not AGuyfromMars
Today was the day I learned that it in fact was not someone from school. Went my whole life thinking it was someone who actually knew her from the same area.
I always thought she sent nudes to a classmate and they spread them. Which caused her to be ostracized. Had no idea she was a pedophilia victim.
Same here. Really reminded me about that era of the internet and the response most people had to cyber bullying in general. When I first heard about Amanda she was brushed under the bullying umbrella and every adult, and even fellow kids were talking About how it was partially (or all) her fault for "messing" on the internet. There were videos of people parodying her flashcards video on RUclips. Tosh.0 even went in on it. And that was just the general air towards kids who committed suicide.
Even the news as they reported seriously there was a feeling by the reporter that they didn't really think it was serious or they were looking down on the kid.
I thought Amanda's case was just bullying, but it was so disgusting and devastating and it got buried and minimized by so many people that it's not common knowledge what really happened, and it should be.
Yeah, nobody really told me the severity of this case, I made the same assumptions you did. It’s so much more disgusting and vile than I thought.
A capper did this to me at 12 years old back in 2011. I was talking to who I thought was a 16 year old boy, but looking back it was probably a child predator. We talked for awhile and he convinced me to send him pics in a swimsuit. After he got the swimsuit photo he threatened to put it on a CP site and forward the photo to my family if I didn’t send him more content. Thankfully I didn’t send him anything else. I just panicked. I blocked him and deleted all my accounts and spent the next 6 months in a constant state of anxiety. I never told anyone. I was too young to understand that I was the victim and was completely ashamed.
Sorry to hear this happened to you.
The world is full of disgusting sick people preying on innocent children. Stay safe
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I hope that you are doing better now. Stay safe
I’m so so sorry. I almost got capped as well as a kid, thankfully I made the decision to just log off the internet for a full year. I think that decision saved my life.
ill get the woodchipper...
@@floofer6699yes, let’s all get the woodchipper!!!!!
As a kid, I always thought the Amanda Todd case was one of heavy bullying, not a case of dedicated harassment by malevolent pedophiles that drove her to do what she did. The fact the narrative was so skewed to be the face of an “anti-bullying” campaign is disturbing.
It is disturbing, and it's the result of the media not doing due diligence and just rushing to push out a story. Remember when Robin Williams committed suicide and the media pushed out a story about depression? Years later it turned out he had a form of early onset dementia, but the media made up their mind what the story was about and it wasn't discussed ever again.
The people running the media find bullying to be more worrisome than cp...
Me too, poor girl :(
I thought she was just being bullied by an old friend
Yeah they really softened this one. So unfortunate.
13 years isnt enough for taking a young girls life and cp.
yeah, why is it always the child predators that get off with light sentences. I swear, if he had been a normal criminal then they probably would've given him a way harsher sentence, its like they like pedos. Bunch of scumbags.
fr it should be longer
It should be life in prison imo. If you exploit a child and cause their death you don't ever deserve to be walking around with the general populace again.
No clue about Dutch prisons, but in America he'd definitely be taken care of by some guys on the inside 😜
Should have been immediate death
Another unfortunate part of this story that's not really known:
Her autopsy photos were leaked and spread on many dark web sites.
Even after taking her life, people still, disgustingly, found more ways to torment her after death.
It truly shows how horrible people can be online, and it's beyond sad what she went through in life, and even after death.
That is one of the saddest things ive ever heard
How could anyone be so cruel and disgusting to a child, even after her death😢
theres an article from 2012 saying the RCMP investigated the claim that her autopsy photos were leaked and it wasnt true and no photos were leaked. so im assuming someone just put out random dead body photos and said it was amanda. I found an page where this sick person was talking about it and saying horrible things about amanda. but they and the other members of the page concluded the picture isnt amanda. And another article I found from CBC news says "Thiessen ( the police sergeant at the time) said that another rumour suggested autopsy photos had been leaked - a false story that caused Todd's family extreme stress. No autopsy was performed on the 15-year-old.
@@bhperfig349 I guess that is hard to dispute. It was probably 5 years ago I saw the photos. I remember pulling up pictures of her side by side and saying “wow.. it really is her. That’s horrible..”
Hindsight, it could have been very well photoshopped. A lot of similar photos get leaked by employees or compromised systems, so it’s easy to assume it to be true.
@@MrComicallyBad Yea. There was no face in the photos though. Just body. The reason people thought it was her was because the body looked to be that of a young girl and had rope marks on the neck and such.
So a group of sadistic pedophiles would prey and manipulate young to very young girls into performing sexual acts only then to torment them, and blackmail them to do whatever they want? But in the event they committed suicide they would toss them away like garbage and move onto the next victim? Truly sickening. I honestly wish these pieces of shit would be charged with murder if the victim took their own life.
Imagine doing pron and loli
they're the same group of people that genuinely deserve life sentences

Just a reminder to teens out there; Any explicit photos of you out there are nothing too embarrassing to tell somebody. You are unlikely to face legal repercussions especially if you are being blackmailed (in the USA). I promise you it is embarrassing in the moment, but it's so much better to have support (personal and legal) behind you than trying to face this alone. And in 5 or 6 years it's likely nobody will remember it, especially not in a way that puts you in a negative light. Not your close friends or family, or anyone else. Know that you are the victim and there is nothing to be ashamed of in this situation.
Anyone who posts/shares it is also committing a felony.
But it is possible for said teens to be charged THEMSELVES, even if they took it themselves. There’s been cases like that, and it ended with them being charged with Cheese Pizza, and possibly put on the register.

As someone who was victim to blackmail when i was 16-17, it is never your fault your being blackmailed, reach out and get help. Once i told my family and trusted adults we were able to get help and the 4 people involved have since been arrested. Please reach out no matter how embarrassing it may be at the time.
Every early-mid 2000's teens know this as the turning point in internet bullying. Rest in Peace, Amanda Todd; your story has likely saved more lives than you ever thought.
Honestly as a kid growing up in the early 2000's i just thought it was some cringe trend on facebook took me a while to figure out the whole backstory about it and then i thought it was a chainmail kinda thing like "my name is something something something im just something years old and my friends pushed me into a well" oo i miss those days
Amanda Todd wasn't from the 2000's her case happened in the 2010's which were still wild west internet days and I remember happening this clear as day because I was 23
You really think the legal system and justice system care about dealing with pdfiles? The answer is no. All justice systems around the world are corrupt.
O fak
This was not internet bullying, this was blackmail.
Something I cannot forget is the hatred Amanda got after her death. I became very interested in her case as a child back then and it was so scary seeing how the internet treated her after her death. There were videos (and one in particular I remember, of this woman who drank water from bleach as a way of mocking Amanda’s death) saying Amanda’s death didn’t deserve attention and that she “got what was coming”. As a child myself back then I never understood why so many of these ADULTS hated this child who was exploited and had her life ruined.
Also, I recall her family had a huge stalker that created a blog basically saying Amanda was a full blown cam girl and her mother was a psychopath. That blog became pretty big iirc, I cannot remember what the guys name was.
God some people are absolute scumbags seriously.
ADULTS
They weren’t all of them adults but they were influenced easily by the bad people, youth is brainwashed easily , I have this saying and I always go by it , be a leader not a follower ! Period

Stalking and harassment laws seriously need to be tightened in almost every single country in the world, it's so wrong

True, I had no idea that capping meant taking those horrible pictures. I grew up in an era where "cap" was a synonym for "lie." I think it's just a coincidence the meanings share the same word, though.

Why is it when a young girl is pressured and victimized, they blame the child? The child who didn't know better?
Some of them are the same guys who will shout about women not having any accountability for their actions or decisions.
Police and other public servants don’t train in psychology and most don’t know the average human brain doesn’t fully understand the difference between right and wrong among other things until after the age of 25.
They live lives of constant self-loathing and crushing misery and they blame everyone but themselves, and instead of dealing with it in a healthy way they choose to go out of their way to be as disgusting and horrible as they think they can get away with, usually consisting of making other people's lives ten times as constantly miserable to fill the void in the empty place where their souls should be. They usually try to think of the most vulnerable people they can ruin and go after them relentlessly, usually women and children, most often both, then they act cocky about it to make themselves feel like they're "Cool" for distributing an underaged girl's photos to the entire internet and harassing her to the point of killing herself so they can feel even more like they're super cool and evil and have the power to manipulate others. It's dangerously pathetic in every sense of the word, and this all probably applies to people like racists, queerphobes, serial killers who kill and then act like smarmy bastards, people like that. It's sickeningly pathetic and people like this deserve to be put in the electric chair so they can't hurt and traumatize anyone else so that THEY will grow up to resent the world for their emptiness and turn to a life of causing pain and suffering as well.

The way a lot of those unfamiliar with the situation just called it “bullying” is so unfair to me. It was far more than just that. This was straight up stalking and harassment. With a bit of sextortion as well. I remember my school using her as an anti bullying campaign. We were never told how truly severe it was so a lot of us just brushed it off because “cyber bullying couldn’t be that bad, it’s just some mean names” and we hadn’t been told the full story. Hearing about the truth when I did I was truly disgusted and really disappointed that the story was never fully explained as what it was
Bullying in itself is a word to downplay the reality. The word hiding behind it is harassement, if not more. When it's adults, it's harassement, when it's minor, it's bullying, as if it's "less important". As if no kid ever commit suicide from it. As if kid's brain are not still developing their emotions and traumatic experience like that will have bigger lasting effect because it messes with the brain development
I NEVER heard of this show or practice!! I remember Amanda, but had NO IDEA about this demonic torture of under aged children!

Fellow parents, its not just about monitoring or controlling our kids internet access. Its also about having frank discussions about the reality of social media and the way people can prey off of unsuspecting kids. It needs to be a holistic view of internet interaction that is heavily weighted towards an education they can take forward in life to protect themselves, both physically and reputationally.
I was a young adult back in 2000, and already into gaming and IRC chatting and BDSM channels and all that crap. I've lived through it and now have the acumen to be able to talk to son in earnest about all this, and not just as a vague notion. He's gotten the point, ever since he first started gaming and surfing, and has never fallen prey to anything worse than ingame harassment.
I was 10 when Amanda died. Her story helped me realize that what I was experiencing at home was sexual abuse and that I needed to tell someone. I will never forget how people mocked her death and didn't take her abuse seriously. She and so many other children and teens deserved better.

Seeing the news anchor lady from Distraction News used in such a disgusting way, tarnishing what was an entertaining and funny parody skit about wacky scenarios, absolutely sickens me
What they have this lighthearted kids show news anchor say about children who were manipulated into exposing themselves is awful
I wish more of them were caught because this is absolutely vile what was done to these kids and how they were so twisted they used a kids show character to talk about it
Same :(
And now California blocked a bill that would put child predators in jail for life.
What is this world coming to?
I loved crash box. It’s a wonderful memory I have with my grandparents spending good time with them watching the show when I was a young kid. To see it tarnished makes me unreasonably angry.
I was thinking the same thing. I still think of Crashbox once in awhile and how they even used Kingdom Hearts' Coliseum photo and music for the "awards" is f'ed up. Taking kids shows and games and distorting them such a way is incredibly unsettling.
Literally came form here to say something similar. I'm so disgusted, this is a show I would watch with my kids when I have them. To know that it was used like this makes me sick. None of those kids deserved that.
this is definitely one of the hardest videos to watch, i feel sick. sadly we can't do much more than teaching kids to be safe and hope that they all have adults they can trust if someone ever tries to harm them in any way, i remember being asked por nude pictures all the time on facebook when i was 12, these monsters are everywhere
i felt sick during all of the segments talking about their very young victims but the mention of the eight year old little girl was what truly struck me. i hope her and her sister are doing okay now.
I grew up in this era. The internet really was like the "wild west" in this age. Even though the internet is more regulated/censored now than it was, it isn't any safer. No doubt this STILL goes on today. With TikTok, Snapchat, Discord, ect.. there are and always will be more Amanda Todd's.

The internet is not as bad as it was before. And saying that "it is and it will always be" that bad is irresponsible. You're giving up and in your attitude being part of the next victim's downfall.
I'm gen Z and I don't use any other social media besides youtube because of all that shit
Problem is Internet will be censored not for the better of us... but for thr gains of corporations and governments
Still blows my mind just how insanely ignorant so many of us were of how dangerous the internet was in its early stages. Such a sad and unfortunate story where innocence was stolen from someone by despicable people.
It's ignorant to think this doesn't still happen online. These people didn't go away, they just went underground.
Yeah humanity can be innovative An amazing when it creates a new invention to help mankind unfortunately other humans get their hands on it and completely destroy ITIT's like humans have completely destroyed and desiccated everything that was meant to be good But you know what The good side always wins the The light will always shine into the dark We have to keep that in our minds And hearts
@@WobblesandBean No one's saying it doesn't happen anymore, the comment's just saying that it's scary how much we didn't know a decade ago. Of course, you can say that that doesn't make a whole lot of difference if the same stuff happens (especially with the predators using AI now, if you take MamaMax's video on a wide scale), but that's a different argument.
Internet was still much better. It still happens now but you never come to know.
Why are you talking as if any of these issues arent 20 times worse today
The difference between today and then is that during her time emo culture and suicide was romanticized
amanda was from my home town. her story sickens me, i hope that man rots in hell for what he did. she deserved so much better.
I remember seeing the video of Amanda Todd in my health class while we were talking about cyber bullying and Suicide. I remember being heartbroken. I actually teared up. Its still an unbelievable story. Tragic.
They did so in mine
They contributed to her post death harassment.
I remember my school playing anti bullying videos..
But did Jack shit when people got bullied to point of severe depression.. I remember poetry of guy talking about how school affect mental health.
That brought me to tears because I felt alone and no adult helped.
Lemme guess, people made fun of it?
@@Piss_Off_Plz surprisingly I saw more people cry than make comments about it..
I'm actually so glad someone is covering this channel in depth. I remember coming across it a few months back and just kept thinking about the lack of coverage about it at all. The channel is just depravity embodied really and it's disgusting. Thank you nick.
Crazy how youtube wouldn't just hand over the IP address of the capper to law enforcement. It's not like it would be that hard to do, even in that era.
RUclips never cared about anyone. All they care about is money
@@gerragotheallidile i mean they could be twitch but also goddamn youtube
RUclips? Siding with Pedos? Surely not!
@@BTTRSWYT RUclips has a monopoly on Video sharing, and they know it, which is why they don't bother to fix anything, despite all the controversies. (Other sites have tried and failed to compete with RUclips in the past.) TikTok is the closest thing that RUclips has to a "competitor".
@@gerragotheallidile at least now they trend towards more conservative when it comes to managing content as opposed to allowing anything and everything like they used to. Still obnoxious but the obviously better alternative. (with the exception of the naare guy)
I'm glad that as a child, i grew up playing just minecraft, roblox, and watching youtube. I never spoke to anyone online, and if someone did i never responded. I didnt get social media until i was 17, but even now i dont have anything because its full of toxic people and brainrot.
this is truly fucked up- i saw it happen once in front of my eyes with one of my friends who was 13.
I remember this happening like it was yesterday, it was insanely disgusting how an uncomfortable amount of ppl considered her a lolcow for her "gullibility" in all this, and if you felt any sympathy whatsoever you were a normie cuck. 11 years later and if any of them still harbor the same beliefs about this case from 2012 to now then they're definitely beyond anybody's help, like jfc this kid was 15
I hated how I was looked at as weak for thinking she didn't deserve to die
Bro she sent nudes and did it to herself. Wtf are you on about. It’s like whenever a pathetic person without morals sees a woman they can’t be blamed. You’re delusional
Some people are truly disgusting and they’ll never say that kind of stuff with their real name and real photo 99% of the time. It’s too easy to hide behind a username, anonymity really brings out the worst in some people.
I think the reason she was made fun of so bad after her death is because how much of the story was untold to teens at the time. I was 12 when this happened and I remember when we had people come to my school and talk to us about it. They used words that had no impact like “cyber bullying” and “name calling”. When what actually happened to her was truely disgusting
13, since the blackmail, sextortion and harrassment lasted 2 years (up until her suicide)
Anyone who would call that an “epic win” deserves to be in the 30th level of hell
Hell would be mercy
Anyone saying “epic win” at all deserves a level of hell.
☘️ Notice how the Daily Capper puts one last show on after the girls death?? And also notice how they, all of the sudden, have empathy for the girl by calling her death a tragedy?? They weren't calling the stalking, blackmail, and victimizing girls tragic until a death occurred. They were exalting the abuse. They wanted to quickly point the finger when things got serious and police were involved.
Also don’t forget when the girl in 2010 killed herself and they said “wherever she is now, we won’t remember next week”
It’s the definition of trying to clear your name to make you look better
they probably only called it tragic bcs they wont get any new pics from her. disgusting human being these people. my heart goes out to anyone who went through this.
theyre cowards, spineless, and completely irredeemable. yet they think otherwise.
you got it wrong. the reason why they suddenly throw fake empathy after Amanda's death is because one of their top members got exposed, having his personal info leaked
They only did it out of fear that Anonymous would turn their attention on them, even though they got the identity of her actual stalker/blackmailer wrong they still exposed a huge player in the capping world
I can remmeber when amanda died hearing friends say "yeah sure its sad shes dead but she was no angel she was a slut etc etc etc" and i immediately stopped talking to them. I couldn't believe people could be so cruel. They were all 16yo edge lords. Part of me believes at least two or three of them could have been active in this community. There were some fucked up people at mt school.
Yeah, making mistakes as a child should never be a death sentence or a warrant for abuse
Big props to Nick for having the presence of mind not to put an ad on a video about Amanda Todd’s s****de. Such a nice change of pace from “child murder, sexual assault, it’s terrible, but what’s NOT terrible is Skill Share…”
read this right as an ad (presumably put there by youtube themselves) came up 🙃
Very true. I don’t like when people do that like “hey lets talk about tragedy but then also add a quick promotion for some service I won’t use. I’d rather just sit here listening to the bitter end and be more aware of people and the evil they’re capable of.
I am not a violent person… but.. could we as a society bring back torture as a punishment for people like this.
I am absolutely disgusted
Yeah imagine being a 40year old adult and do this to a childm.
Nahhhh
Torture as punishment sounds like a good concept, but you have to keep in mind all the innocent people that would be accused of doing bad things despite them not actually doing anything
Yes
@@Rei-jj4rj Yeaaaah.
i remember being on twitter during this. i defended her as best as i could. but even after she passed the amount of grown ass men attacking her made me sick. i was 13 at that time. i was new to social media and couldn’t believe people would actually do something so disgusting. these days wouldn’t be surprised if it happened again.
It is happening just go to any social media comment section its full of bullying
@Ghhh-vu2yg If I was as unlikeable, unfunny, and unattractive as you, I would be commenting the same thing. Doing anything for attention is one way to cope I guess.
its been years since amanda died, and i still fucking cry over her. may she rest in peace. i know what its like to be bullied, and to have the traumatic experience of CSA, and i hate that they drove her to that point. we love you, amanda.
I remember when this happened kids would make fun of her STILL and it pains me that our teachers didnt sit us all tf down and tell us what really happened she was literally abused by ADULTS online which translated to her peers this isnt just a case of depression its a case of desperation, abuse and being preyed upon by pedophiles in school they did us a disservice by hearing kids talk badly about the situation and not trying to educate us on how horrible it really was and how easily it would be for one of us to be preyed upon like this.. i even grew up in canada too just insane such a tragedy that it ended the way it did
Kids are cruel more news at 6

the fact that there are videos highlighting the awful things that have happened on youtube throughout its existence is truly remarkable. it's insane how many horrible and irredeemable people there are that have existed on the site, and showing these cases helps bring even more light to situations like this. thank you for making these videos.

I remember growing up hearing about Amanda and only hearing about “cyber bullying” and classmates bullying her. If only everyone knew it was so much more serious than that
Same, it makes me so sad and angry, I remember vividly people at school joking about her :( I'm sure they'd feel disgusted with themselves if they knew.. rest in peace Amanda
That was the official line, that same line was fed to us over here in Europe as well. It was the beginning of the Beware of Cyber Bullying european initiative or somesuch. This is straight up CP though and a crime.
most people would assume that capping is gone because of how streaming has become more structured and moderated. capping still very much exists in its own ways and has not really declined at all
Of course people still do this. A teenage boy thought he was snapchatting a girl he likes but turned out to be a hacker from another country so when he sent a naked picture they used it to blackmail him for money. They broke the kid down the same way until he killed himself. They were found in a country on the other side of the world and prosecuted but that was the most recent case in SC where I stay so I heard about it on the news. I'm sure it happens everyday all over the world these days
13 years for manipulating, blackmailing and harrassing someone to the point of suicide is a fucking joke!
He was only jailed in 2022 but will be out before we know it. It's almost been 13 years since Amanda's death in 2012, and think of how quickly that time has flown by. Horrifying thought - he deserves way longer. I hope every minute of those 13 years in jail feels like an eternity in hell for him.
All justice systems are backwards and corrupt
The justice system is a fucking joke.

Another commenter said he did time in New Zealand and then Canada total of 23 yrs? which is it? either way he needs the shit kicked out of him via torture until he releases some more names of his pedo associates as soon as he's out.
It’s always so surreal for me when I see things about Amanda Todd. We had a few mutual friends, but I never met her. After she passed, we had a huge meeting with councilors and, in hindsight, probably one or two local police officers. I was in ninth grade at the time, and it was the first time that I really realized how dangerous people can be on the internet. Obviously, I was told but I never realized it. RIP Amanda ❤️
I get the same feeling about hearing about Robert Pickton. Tbh poco just feels Too Upsetting at this point
Seeing something like Crashbox that was such a huge part of my childhood be associated with an online community that's so dark and depraved just disturbs me. Everything about this disturbs me. My heart goes out to every single girl who found themselves blackmailed by these sick, sick people. I hope you're all able to heal from what you went through. May Amanda Todd's beautiful soul rest in peace, along with anyone else who took their lives as a result from this community's actions, and may every individual out there who took part in "capping" rot in hell.
crashbox was literally my childhood trauma... but to see it being used like this just pisses me off.
I loved crashbox just the way it was so unapologetically weird was amazing man it felt like a place i could just sit in and enjoy the chaos
Dora smarmy did not deserve to have her likeness used like this.
That's exactly what I thought.
I would wake up at 7 am on weekends to watch Crashbox whenever I stayed at my grandparents house. It was my favorite show, and still one of my favorites to this very day. I never saw it as creepy, just very creative with its style. Seeing a fond memory of mine be used to announce underaged girls being blackmailed and abused is such a disturbing juxtaposition. I hope Amanda forever rests in peace, and all of the other innocent people who were negatively affected by this are living a happy and fulfilling life, never being reminded of the horrors they had to go through. I also hope that the people behind this rot forever.
I love Crashbox too. Thats actually why I clicked this video cause I recognized Dora in the thumbnail. I also remember coming across Amanda's Todd's story as i was doing a paper on bullying when i was in high school and Im pretty sure I cried at some point. especially cause i experiences my fair share of real life bullying during most of my younger years. I had no idea that her s situation was so deep and it's terrible to find out that she wasnt the only one subjected to such inhumane treatment. 13 years was not long enough
exactly! it was a punch to the gut seeing my girl dora smarmy being used for such a horrendous and repulsive cp showcase so casually and out in the open, it’s genuinely appalling to me. this as well as the kingdom hearts 2 coliseum music during the “blackmail awards show” was very nostalgic for me, and seeing both of these childhood memories recreated in such a disgusting light was awful. rest in peace to amanda todd and the countless other victims, because god is this story horrifying.
We ain’t reading all that lil bro
@@TheBeigeRaidergoofball
Same here. I used to watch that show when I was a kid, and this was the first I heard of that segment being used like this. People do some really messed up stuff online.
A friend of mine had a little sister who took her own life at 14. It was a total shock. She was the most beautiful girl you’d ever seen, with tons of friends and always happy.
Thing is she had recently become quite popular after being a bit plain and shy as a kid. She was getting attention from older guys and guys who didn’t even go to her school.
It was never publicly stated by her family what had caused it, but I always suspected something along these blackmail lines.
Judging by how many older guys were going after her, I'd say it definitely had something to do with cappers.
This exact situation happened to me, except not on a livestream, but over AIM. The dude stalked me for ten years, blackmailed me, contacted my relatives, etc. I'm computer savvy and was able to scrub most of my accounts and hide from the guy. Eventually he stopped trying to contact me. I don't remember his name, I think it was TJ or Tyler or Trevor, and he lived in either Wisconsin or Minnesota. I've tried logging in to my old AIM accounts to find him and actually report what happened, but I've never had any luck.
I've told no one but my closest best friend, and after a lot of introspection and self-hatred, I realized I was exploited as a literal child and that it wasn't my fault. I no longer blame myself for it. I wasn't a "dumb" kid, I was a vulnerable kid. It's weird knowing there's probably photos of me out there, but it is what it is. I have a good life and a great job, he wasn't able to destroy me the way he wanted to.
Every kid is vulnerable, I'm sorry that it happened to you.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I am glad you were able to know it was not your fault and that you came out on top. Xoxo
Chad. Fuck those guys and fuck those pictures. No one cares about that.
We are all proud of you

@@Koalas97 They're talking about a child mentioned in the video.
@@pb9927 my bad
I was dealing with these same sickos in 2011 until 2013 and when i found out about Amanda Todd i thought it was even more reason not to talk about what i was going through. The depression and fear of it all can truly tear you apart and I'm lucky none of these men hunted me down at the end of it all.. It was probably due to the fear Amandas investigation caused in that sick "community" I hope to never have that part of my life be reopened again.
I’m very sorry
So sorry.
Irrespective of being a dad to a 12-year-old son, this should scare the life out of every person on the planet. I tend not to get scared, but the utter depravity and unadulterated abu** these children suffer is nothing short of gutwrenching! I'm all for VPNs, but when it involves children in any way, shape, or form, a silent alert should automatically be triggered when visiting specific blacklisted sites known for depravity, and the offender's IP should be sent immediately to the police. Amanda Todd and every child deserves safety!
this. the people blaming the children in the comments disturbs me just as much too. alongside the fact that none of them listen when I explain why they should be blaming the fully developed adults... (yes, YOU TuriGamer since you're so obsessed with stalking this video's comment section for any excuse to victim blame.)
Every grade school ive been to has had anti bullying and internet safety assemblies where they would show Amanda Todd's video on a big screen for all the students to watch. Something about broadcasting what was basically a girls suicide note as a "lesson" always rubbed me the wrong way. RIP Amanda.
Years later this story still stirs so much sorrow and anger inside me. This poor girl...
Honestly dawg the fact that you chose not to do a sponsor for this one is really admirable. A lot of horror/true crime youtubers do sponsorships where it feels really tone deaf, and I've come to expect that and not to judge too harshly, but the fact that you didnt plug a product before talking about a suicide epidemic restored some of my faith in humanity that I didnt realize I'd lost.
it’s so so wrong that he only got 13 years. he is pure evil and deserves life in prison. may amanda rest in peace :( poor girl
I clicked on here thinking you were going to talk about crash box, this right here is totally outta body and I would not have know about this phenomenon without clicking on this video. This is madness and quite scary!
