Harassment on Minecraft: A Dad's Unyielding Response

Playing games online with friends can be an enjoyable experience, but sometimes, you encounter strangers who ruin the fun. In this story, a dad shares how his daughter was subjected to harassment by a random boy on a Minecraft server, and he took matters into his own hands.

This young girl, about 8 years old at the time, was extremely enthusiastic about Minecraft, as many kids are these days. She had even installed screen recording software to create videos of her gameplay, hoping to upload them to YouTube later. However, on this particular day, she found herself in a distressing situation.

As her father sat down beside her, he noticed that she was quietly sniffling away on the computer. Despite his initial hesitation to ask her what was wrong, he decided to keep an eye on her. A few minutes later, he discovered what was happening – someone was harassing not only his daughter but also other kids playing on the same server.

The perpetrator, whom we'll call "Little Clown" or LC, was using profanity and threatening behavior, including claims of hacking into his victim's IP address and stealing their information. By this time, the father had gotten his fiancée involved, and they were both outraged by the little boy's behavior.

Fortunately, the daughter had been recording the entire incident, which led to a plan forming in their minds. The father began by searching for LC's username online, uncovering several hits, including one where he was applying to be a moderator on a Minecraft server. This provided valuable information about him, including his claim to be 15 years old and his interests in hockey.

But the most crucial piece of evidence came when the father found LC's Skype contact info, which was publicly available. Armed with this new information, he headed over to Facebook to search for the username. To their surprise, there were several hits in Florida, leading them on a hunch to narrow down the results.

After combing through each result, they finally found the correct individual – an elderly man living in Florida who shared the same last name as LC. With this discovery, the father's determination turned into a mission. He sent a message to the dad, asking if he had a son named LC who used the same username on Minecraft.

The response was swift and decisive. The dad confirmed that he did indeed have a son with that name, and upon learning about the harassment, he took immediate action. His computer was confiscated for the entire summer, and it was revealed that LC had been lying about his age – he was only 11 years old.

The parents were understandably outraged, and their son faced the consequences of his actions. The father's response had sent a clear message: no one messes with my daughter. The story spread like wildfire on Reddit, leaving many impressed by the dad's determination and resourcefulness.
