The 13-year-old Utah boy hung out in the typical online spaces for someone his age: The chat app Discord. The gaming platform Roblox. And, of course, Twitter.
But for more than two months last year, on those very platforms, the boy was being sexually groomed by an adult who was 13 years older and hundreds of miles away. It started in private messages then moved into public view on Twitter.
It ended in a horror story. The boy’s father went to check on him one night and found him missing, his window open, the bedroom freezing. The boy was allegedly abducted by the man accused of grooming him, driven across state lines, and, prosecutors said, repeatedly sexually assaulted.
Heather and Ken McConney, the boy’s parents, told NBC News that they believe the kidnapping was preventable. It came after a series of missed opportunities over the span of nearly a month, where, they said, Twitter and law enforcement failed to effectively intervene despite an abundance of information posted online. They’re demanding answers.

Our government is complicit in treating these perverts as normal people who should be celebrated. We need to bring back public hangings to stop such behavior.
Homosexuals should never be allowed anywhere near children.
???????????? What 13 y/o hangs out on Twitter???? Discord yes, roblox yes, but Twitter????????
I remember my few years policing, back in the 50’s, and we were always moving homosexual men away from playgrounds and public toilets.
