M(20). I am in shock and so hurt right now. I seriously feel sick to my stomach.

Today I was scrolling through twitter when I saw an account in the comments posting the same @ over and over. They did this on the same account a few times, which was a sports betting account. So I clicked on the account thinking it would have more parlays..

Instead I see a picture of a girl that was probably no older than 13 in a swim suit. I scroll down one more and see another very young girl in a swim suit.

I am currently going to school to become a Behavioral Specialist for kids. I’ve also worked at a psychiatric facility for adolescents and now am working at an elementary school. So when I saw kids being posted by this account and advertised, I was already in shock. It was truly disgusting. But I made sure to screenshot the profile because I was going to report it to the cops. I’ve worked hand in hand on these types of things with former clients of mine and sometimes the girls being posted online are actually being trafficked. Therefore, reporting a page does nothing but kill evidence for police. But what I saw next truly put a dagger in my chest and I’m still very worked up.

I showed one of my former bosses from the treatment facility what I came across because I knew she would know how to take the best course of action. Not even 3 finger swipes down, I saw pictures from girls that I know personally. These were all posted recently but these are not the only pictures. This account has hundreds of posts. I saw a friend from highschool on there and the picture that they had on twitter was her as a sophomore. They had my ex girlfriend’s sister on there and she is only 18 right now. They had a girl that I knew of on there who is 22 now but was 17 in this picture. They had 3 pictures on there of a girl who is in the school district I work at right now and I believe she is a senior..

There are seriously hundreds of accounts like this on twitter that I’ve come across in the last few hours. And I just feel sick. I feel hurt. I feel hurt for my friends and people I care about. And I feel for all of the girls that are affected by this that I’ll never meet.

We’ve handled the situation the best we can right now (according to my old boss) but I just needed to let it out. And I also don’t know if I should tell the girls or not or how I even could. Damn.
