📖 What Happened to Sissy Ann

Sissy Ann

I went to find my older brother Caleb. He's 15 and knows a lot about the internet. I showed him the messages from JaxKid99.

🧑

Caleb

Wait, Sissy Ann. This person says they're 10 years old. Do you know that for sure?

Sissy Ann

I stared at him. 'Well... they SAID they were 10...'

🧑

Caleb

Online, anyone can say anything. They can use a fake name, a fake photo, a fake age. You can't see their face or hear their real voice. It's like... a mask anyone can wear.

Sissy Ann

That gave me chills. And I realized — JaxKid99 knew my first name, the game I played, and had been asking lots of questions. I didn't know ANYTHING real about them. 😮

The Big Idea

Online, anyone can wear a mask. They can say any name, any age, and use any photo. Someone who says they're a 10-year-old kid might be an adult. You have NO way to know for sure unless you already know that person in real life. This isn't scary — it's just important to understand. Stick to connecting online with people you ALREADY know in real life!
