I have no idea how to start this.
I F17 heard my parents argue with my little sister (F15) a while ago. They were complaining about her screentime being over 6 hours, which is weird because she has A LOT of hobies.
Since then i’ve realized how often she is on her phone. Constantly typing, and I know she’s not writing her debut because she hates writing on her phone. She has also started laying her phone down with her screen facing a surface, which she’s never done before.
So a few days ago she came back from her run and went straight to the shower. Her phone was on the kitchen counter, and it was buzzing for its dear life. So i went over to turn it on dnd, and then i saw a message from tiktok from a guy name Albert Ortega and it said:
“Are you there my love?”
Like wtf? And not only that, he looked THIRTY. I got this bad gut feeling abour him.
So last night i went downstairs. (Our phones are in the living room when it’s night.)I checked her tiktok and there was A LOT of messages. I took some pictures and I wrote them down:
“But when you told me you’re 15 i couldn’t let go cause you’ve already got my heart❤️”
“You make me so happy and i’ve always wished to have you as my child or wife”
“Close your beautiful eyes, relax and don’t think about anything. Do you feel something? Someone gently touches your lips..
Don’t be afraid… it’s me, kissing you and wishing “Goodnight.”
😌 Good night ❤️”
Not only that he’s calling her pet names (sweetheart, my love, baby, etc) and saying they’re meant to be. And suddenly he acts all cold and she starts saying sorry, and then he goes back to his “charming” self. He also keeps on saying I love you, and these creepy remarks about her looks.
I have no idea what to do. I don’t want to tell our parents, she’ll get in trouble. But i don’t think her mental health can handle whatever is going on. I need help. What do i do?

If you stay silent, you’re giving that predator room to tighten his grip this is not love, it’s manipulation wrapped in sweet words. Tell a trusted adult now before it turns into something irreversible your sister’s safety is worth the storm.
Call CPS or a trusted adult now. This dude’s grooming your sister hard, and waiting or hiding it won’t help. Protect her before it’s too late. Your sister needs a real shield, not silence
you know some’s wrong when it’s ‘Ortega’ from guatemala
Tell an adult who can step up to help. If you don’t have a trusted adult to talk to, tell the police or other authorities. The patterns you described show clear signs of emotional manipulation which often escalates to violence. You might save her from abuse from this sick pedo, you might even save her life. Fear of getting your sister in trouble is not a good reason to not tell your parents. You could begin with “I’m really worried about her” and go from there. You know your parents better than Reddit does, you will know whether your parents would respond better to a cry for help or a visit from a police officer. You are not in this alone, you don’t need to fix this all yourself, all you have to do is take the first step 💛
You need to tell your parents before something very bad happens and then you will regret not protecting your little sister.
Tell your parents immediately, and the authorities.
If you could find out where he’s located. You’d have to file a police report in the city you live in and in the city that he lives in. But that could probably help get him on the radar. Record and screenshot everything because both of them will delete it all. Chances are she may have another account that nobody knows about. He’s a creep! He 100% is grooming your sister & should be in jail. There may be a special unit that you can report it to in the police department and they might be able to give you more information. There may be a national FBI hotline where you could report such instances if he’s in another state. Get help! And the sooner the better. Sounds like he’s already brainwashing her and she’s believes that he loves her so much. Ugh!🤢🤮👹👹
Ummmm get to an adult asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell the parents or a mandated reporter but with school being out I don’t know who that would be in your life necessarily so…parents.
She’ll hate you short-term but she will be thanking you in the long run, son.
