Thank you so much for sharing this.

I know these may be very difficult reads for some people, but we need to hear more real stories like this. It's true that not all interactions wind up like this, but as you said, even the smallest detail can endanger your safety.

In the end, you are in control of your online presence, but we want to make sure that you are using Cups as safely as you can. We care about you.

Thank-you for sharing that with us all, I hope more people read it here.

The internet can be a dangerous place but can also add to our safety too.

We can read inspiring articles (like yours) that explain why we need to keep safe and be more aware about things.

We can use google and other search engines and find out information, and check information is real too.

We can link up with friends and family via the internet.

We can get support from like minded individuals and groups.
