@Jazzy_Butts the way they describe this makes me think this kid isn't a pedophile, but instead a sadist/rapist. There is a sense of wishing to exert control over someone, which is going to be easiest on someone younger than you. But it's much easier and more shocking to sensationalize pedophilia. I hope this kid got the actual help he needed. I'm willing to bet this didn't just happen over night either, he himself was either molested or his parents didn't give a fuck about his internet activity (which would be child neglect), or perhaps there are other social problems where he feels he has no control over his own life so he feels like he must control others and that exhibits itself in sexuality whereas it might become something like bullying in someone else. It could be a mix of all those things.

Not a psychiatrist, but I still don't think this kid is actually a pedo and probably has some serious problems behind the hood that nobody is taking a look at.
