Hey @Mukosham

That's a really good sign. The fact that it has been so long without hearing anything strongly suggests to me that he has moved on. What do you think?

[Mukosham]

Yes I think so and he won't use it to someone or use my photo

Hey there,

I get why you are worried and it's totally normal to wonder about this in this kind of situation and it's understandable. I am wondering, is there any evidence to show that he is doing that, or might it be just an anxiety? What do you think?

[Mukosham]

No evidence about, it is me who is thinking like that and I just giving it a thought, maybe he can do. What do think about that

Hey there,

Yeah, those thoughts are completely normal in this kind of situation. It's hard to have a definite answer, because really, we don't know and we may never know if they are doing that or not. If they were doing it, what do you think you would do?

[Mukosham]

To report them , so that they can be found and you what do you think

[Mukosham]

What happened if you report someone to WhatsApp customer service

[Monsoon]

Hey there,

Exactly. If it does happen, you can report it to get it taken down. We can also report it for you to a number of social media platforms and our reports are looked at more quickly, so we could also support you. The point is, if it does happen, you can do things to stop it, and we can help you. However, I think it’s really unlikely at this point. Your worries are totally normal, and I get them completely. If they were to have done something, it’s highly likely that it would have happened by now and you would have known about it. What do you think? Take care and speak soon :)

Hi there, Monsoon isn't online at the moment so I thought I would jump in. I hope you don't mind. I saw that you mentioned that you feel hopeless at times and I just wanted to check in with you to see how you are feeling right now? Just in case you ever need it, here is some safety information. If you ever feel like you are in crisis then you can reach out to the following: 

UK - The Samaritans: 116 123 (24/7 service)

USA - The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline - 988 (This is a free service that operates 24/7. You can call or text)  https://988lifeline.org/

A list of worldwide crisis lines: https://www.befrienders.org - you can find the one for your country and call them if you are in crisis 

An app I can recommend: https://www.prevent-suicide.org.uk/find-help-now/stay-alive-app/ this has safety plans to make sure you don't harm yourself and you might find it useful

Remember, you can always call the emergency services or go to your local emergency department at the hospital for support

You mentioned that you are worried that the person might use your video at some point in the future. You might find this website helpful: https://stopncii.org/  You can use their tool to prevent your images from being shared in the first place and you can use this tool without having to send your images or videos to anyone.

What do I do in the case I don't have videos in my device

Hey there,

Do you mean the videos you sent to the individual originally? If so, it won't matter. The report alone will be taken seriously and you won't have to prove that you are the one in the content. It is in the best interests of the social media platform to remove the content that is reported by a user in these kinds of cases. 

[Mukosham]

Thank you

[Monsoon]

You're welcome :)

Would you like to talk more about it, or are you okay at the moment?
