Less than 12 hours after first being contacted by his sextorter, Carson died by suicide.
The kid was only 12. But that sure escalated quickly according to the linked CBC article. So the kid was contacted by a catfishing Nigerian scammer and sent his own nudes, was blackmailed for 25 loonies in gift cards & an heroed within a 12-hour shift?
During the federal election earlier this year, Prime Minister Mark Carney campaigned on bringing back the Online Harms Act, a bill designed to protect kids from exploitation like sextortion.
In an interview with Marketplace, Justice Minister Sean Fraser says his government will table new legislation specifically addressing online sextortion, non-consensual sharing of deep fake nudes and child luring in the fall.
He says these measures will be in addition to new tools for law enforcement to "prevent this crime on top of the efforts to more severely punish these heinous criminals."
So this agitprop CBC article about dead preteens and Nigerian scammers is really all about "But think of the children!!!!" justification for Carney to re-introduce his UK-style Internet censorship Online Harms Bills for a third time. Essentially cut&paste of Trudeau's old failed versions.
If you just hand over your civil liberties and firewall everything behind a social credit digital ID, the Mounties will bring to justice the Nigerian scammers this time, they swear!
You know that specific panic and despair feeling when you as a kid did something you immediately regretted and knew would have extreme consequences? Like breaking the TV or your buddy's leg, where you actually believed your dad might kill you when he gets home?
I think only a 12 year old could speed run a "gotta kill myself, life is ruined" that fast because of that overwhelming feeling without the experience and maturity to realize they aren't in fact ruined that even a kid a few years older might have.
The only unbelievable part is, as you say further down, them being successful in doing so. Unless they just jumped off a bridge or shot themselves its hard for even grown adults with planning to succeed that easy.

like 1/3 or more young people want to kill themselves on a daily basis, they just can't find the courage. pretty much from birth everything and everyone around them contributes to them being complete nervous wrecks on a hair trigger 24/7. this isn't unbelievable.
I guess I'm still amazed at the speedrun efficiency in a single sunrise/sunset cycle.
Also intrigued that a 12 y/o would be so successful killing themselves presumably on their 1st attempt, let alone having the balls to go through with it.
Gerbert did a video about the porn to troon pipeline (I think someone posted that video here not too long ago?).
Any kid with access to the internet has access to porn, and any kid with access to porn will be prone to all of the detriments that come along with it.

I'm flabbergasted by the sexual activity at 12. But hearing that timeline, it does seem to escalate quickly
