What would you do if you encountered a pedophile in your workplace?

[Like A Rad Neighbor]

Work in a field which involves old people frequently asking me about technology. Sometimes I will help these people with small issues outside of the scope if we aren't busy.
Guy comes in asking for help because his Facebook wont let him in, he almost paid some Nigerian scammer money to "get him back in". At this point I feel bad for this dude.

I reset his password and am met with a screen that says "Your account has been deactivated because you shared sexually explicit images of minors" with links regarding exploited children. I got this message off his phone and told him that he was out of luck and that it was Facebook's call.

He now keeps coming in regularly and is asking me ways to make another Facebook since his friend says you can and he claims he got banned for upvoting a post about J'biden.

So what would you do?

If he's dumb enough to use a nigerian to help him out, he's dumb enough to be sharing conspiracy theories of Joe and Hunter being pedophiles.

Unless I saw pictures of CP on his profile, I wouldn't do anything. It's facebook after-all and how many threads/posts are there on this website about people being banned/cancelled for going against the narative?

But Creepy Joe and the Meth Hunter probably are pedophiles, retard.

Slight PL but I once got a message from FB about "images of child sexual exploitation". - Some Leftist piece of shit had gone trawling through my profile and falsely reported a pic of my own toddler in a bath (no actual nudity) as being CP.
I responded to FB, saying if they really believed I was posting CP, they should contact the police. Needless to say, nothing came of it.
My point being that it's pretty easy to make bullshit accusations against people, just to cause trouble.

Yeah this line of logic made me kind of give pause, so far as reporting. His reasoning was "I liked a post against joe and then my friends Facebook lit up like a jackpot but my account got deleted" It was simultaneously stupid enough that maybe they genuinely thought that happened and also stupid enough to seem logical as a lie to someone who knows nothing. The fact that he had scammers who had his name and number make me think they possibly could have done something, but the account suspension after the message was active since 30th of last month.

I was shocked to see a perma-ban let alone one so specific.

I wouldn't get involved, even if he's a bigger pedo than saville, it isn't your place. I know some people might call me a faggot or whatever for that line of thinking but honestly, it isn't worth the hassle, even if you're right. Snitches get stitches. And if you're wrong? Well done, lefty, you just ruined a mans life and career.

Facebook is retarded and will block/ban people for nothing. Like i say, unless you see hard evidence and proof that this guy is a kiddy-fiddler, leave it, ignore it, move on.

The other people in this thread are trolling or acting on feelz. Never act on feels. Feels change, logic and evidence doesn't.

Interesting to know. I wondered how sensitive it would be to shit.

I wasn't going to report him but people felt strongly who I told in real life, then again I know a lot of emotion based people. Unless he did something immediately in front of me its not my place. I just didn't want to be involved at all and I didn't feel right setting him up with a burner account.

If you want a real answer that doesn't involve you yourself going to prison for murder, tip off the cops.

I know that sounds lame but you really can't do anything else, and you certainly can't let it slide as he'll probably escalate if left to his own devices

Edit: Also, as people here have already stated, you don't really have the context to determine if he is a creep or that stupid he fucked himself over unintentionally. The only people who could do that are the police

Innocent until proven guilty still applies. Unfortunately, a false accusation of wain-watching could ruin someones life in the court of public opinion. IMO, it isn't worth it either way.

I'm not defending pedos here, but there's no proof this guy is a pedo, aside from a wanky facebook ban.

Everyone you don't like is a pedophile; that's convenient.

To be fair, Biden himself is a pedo. Is it possible the post this old dude claims he upvoted was one of the many pictures of him touching children in public?

I ask because it's a pretty serious accusation, and you'll want to be absolutely positive he's a nonce before you go and do anything chainsaw-related.

(also, I'm assuming you work IT, right? What are the chances/legality that you can take his device and do a little look-see at his camera and downloads folder? Again, don't do anything drastic or illegal, but if it's standard procedure in your workplace for you guys to look at your coworker's porn folder, then well...)

 

[mr.moon1488]

You'd beat someone to death on the basis of a Facebook alert?

Assuming the boomer didn't get screwed by the Nigerians, he's almost certainly a pedophile.

"probably"

God, I love balers.

OP, we know you work for the geek squad. Go back to work, wagie

Me when I'm about to kill a pedo

 

[♦️ King of Diamonds ♦️]

Boomers aren't the best when it comes to tech- and they aren't the best when it comes to falling for scams. I couldn't ask for better parents, despite how much I argue with them. Long story short- call the cops and let the law enforcement professionals handle it.

 

[General Tug Boat]

Since I work in a kitchen I have plenty of nice and creative ways of fucking that guy up. I would probably use a trick I learned by a cartoon rabbit and hit him in the face with a frying pan. If little birds start circling his head, then I know I did it correctly. If not, then I will keep trying.

 

[Everest8850]

I'll research if he's actually a pedophile and then report the police

 

[Caesare]

This seems a little odd. Did the dumb boomer give some rando Nigerian scammer access to his account or something? They could have posted something in order to fuck him over.

Edit:
Just can't imagine someone getting banned for CP and then seeking out tech support to lift said ban, though some people are incredibly stupid.

I saw a nigger at a public library try to get the librarian to help him print out pornographic pictures. People are that fucking stupid.

My mom had someone at her work basically do that. Some dude kept getting his laptop ridden with malware, eventually IT decided to dig a little deeper and found CP. My mom told them to pretend they didn't see anything and let her report a "suspicion" to the police, otherwise IT could have been blamed for tampering with the evidence. Police found even more shit in his office and home too I think.
Funnily enough she had always had a feeling of physical disgust around the guy to the point it made her uncomfortable to shake his hand, so she wasn't even surprised.
edit : oops didn't see someone had necro'd the thread, just saw it pop up on the main page under Q&A. Sorry

At least he wasn’t sharing Russian misinformation.
