Mother’s Warning: Son’s Innocent Chat Leads To Tra.gic
The mother of a 14-year-old kid claims that after falling for a “sextortion” hoax, her son committed suicide.
Caleb Moore, a native of El Dorado, Kansas, started chatting to what he believed to be a “14-year-old girl” on TikTok on June 10 before the conversation shifted to Snapchat.
Morgan, Caleb’s mother, claims that after that, the individual allegedly gave Caleb compromising photos of herself, to which the teenager replied with photos of himself.
The ‘female’ then started threatening him, saying that he needed to give them a lot of money or else they would leak the pictures.
Caleb killed himself by shooting himself in his house after Morgan claimed that they had “made him feel like his life was over as he had made this mistake.”
Morgan says she was informed of her son’s death after his father called her, adding: “When I got there Caleb was still alive and breathing but they were unable to resuscitate him so they stopped trying as nothing was working.”
