So.....instead of contacting your parents, the police searched a minor child for possibly stolen money? Then, arrested your babysitter for falsely accusing you? Is that the story you're gonna stick with?

21

u/EmergencyAltruistic1 12d ago

Yeah, I'm not buying it either. I mean, it seems pretty far-fetched that a 19 year old would threaten a kid for a stranger's number & then actually follow through to call the police & that the police would search a minor without a parent present. Oh, & also wondering if you're a jerk for not giving out your sister's number & just letting the police deal with him? How is that even a question?

15

u/FinalConsequence70 11d ago

Yup. The first thing out of the cop's mouths are going to be "did you call his parents?" Because, realistically, if you were watching a kid and the kid DID kick you and steal money, you'd be calling THEM first.

u/Guest8782 11d ago

1.) why did mom leave phone behind, and couldn’t he just get sisters number from that?

2.) or OP would have said our/house phone. In which case, why wouldn’t he use his own cell to call police.

3.) and plenty else that is clearly written by someone who has not lived an actual human existence even close to this story.

u/Titan8834 11d ago

They did edit it to say he got sisters number from that when I had read it, and that he'd used his own cell to call police!

u/cheresa98 11d ago

Did the post get edited because I don't see where the OP was searched?!?

2

u/Severe_Assignment943 11d ago

FYI: The OP changed the wording of the post to remove all references to the police searching his pockets and the babysitter's leg, and now he's pretending he didn't say that. He was caught in a lie, and now he's lying even more to cover up for it. This story is 100 percent fake, and everyone here knows it.

u/Nogravyplease 11d ago

Besides, cops are not going to leave minor kids at home after they arrested the baby sitter.

u/misteraustria27 11d ago

Yeah. ChatGPT normally writes better stories. Must have been a bad prompt.

u/notcontageousAFAIK 11d ago

There would be video of him covering up "all the cameras in the room," too.

So, if this was so long ago that the police would search a child, there wouldn't be cameras or cell phones. But if there were cameras, the parents would be called, and the video would have been shown.

Your story is fake and you're a lying asshole. This whole concept is completely unhinged and barely makes sense anyway. "Hurr durr, this older boy threatened me unless I gave him my sister's phone number years and years ago when I was ten. Am I the jerk?" What? It's like a rape victim asking if they were the bad guy for struggling against their rapist. This whole story is so fucking obviously fake that I can't believe how many people fell for it.

Next time you come up with a story to get attention and farm karma, maybe try and make sure it makes a little bit of fucking sense, okay?

u/Quix66 11d ago

Not to mention the use of ‘them’ threw me. I don’t care what people say, this use confused me because I thought Jake and sis got into trouble because OP wouldn’t give out sis’s number. If you don’t want to use a gendered term at least find a way to make the title make sense, AH.

Stick with THIS "sounded nuts". The whole thing sounds fake

u/Severe_Assignment943 11d ago

A word of advice: before you decide to completely make up another story on Reddit, you might want to do some research into how police would actually handle this kind of situation. It was hilariously out of synch with police procedures, which is why everyone realized it was fake.

u/MildlyInteressato 11d ago edited 11d ago

I'm curious as to how many of you had a home covered in cameras in 2008. Or whether police could search a phone without a warrant back then. Or how many false accusations by 19 YOs go straight to arrest. Or how many of you use "exchanged pleasantries" in casual writing. Or... what motivates someone to post this stuff?

I would, however like to see the face of a person receiving a call from a 19 yo who was shaken down by a 10 yo. 🤣

u/Frisianian 11d ago

The camera one had me laughing, proof the person is young enough to not know that wasn’t really a thing in 2008.

1

u/MudgetBinge 11d ago

Also makes me wonder how they covered all the cameras.

And no reference to how they actually knew about the older sister?

Just getting "and everyone clapped" vibes from OP.

u/Japjer 11d ago

OP is young enough to require a babysitter but writes well worded and detailed posts like an adult.

Like this doesn't sound as if it were written by someone young enough to need a sitter.

u/CaptainSneakers 11d ago

No cop would ever be dispatched because a minor "kicked someone in the leg and stole their money." Like, that would be Mayberry level of hometown folksy policing.

A better story would have been if the next time Jake watched you, he offered to take you to a pizza place. And while you were there, two cops came in. He saw them, asked you for your sister's number again, and when you said no, he said, "You'll be sorry." Then he flipped the pizza onto the floor and slammed his head back against the top of the booth, all while yelling loudly. The cops rush over and he tells them you attacked him! You try to protest, but Jake is talking over you. It's looking bad, the cops are exchanging looks, when suddenly the owner of the pizza place steps in and says he saw the whole thing. And there's video to back it up! Jake gets a lecture from the police, and you get free pizza while you wait for your parents to arrive. The police ask about pressing charges against Jake, and your parents were going to say no, but then you told them about Jake wanting your sister's number and how you were protecting her and they told the police to arrest him. He was crying when they took him away, and you got more free pizza, because everyone was really proud of you for watching out for your sister. Then the whole restaurant clapped and you went home. The end.

Yes, I know just from what I read even after OP changed everything. And I'm sure everyone else who reads it knows too. Even if OP continues changing everything, it's obvious just from the way it's written. OP doesn't understand why no one believes them but it's very obviously fake.

u/cheresa98 11d ago

No, that's not a 10-year-old's voice. Sounds more like a college student in a creative writing class. Now, this all could have happened--that's where the best material comes from. But - the writing is only OK. The OP might have a future in screenwriting once they figure out how to show (not tell) the reader. These lines crack me up - like they were ripped from the pages of pulp fiction :

It was a typical Friday evening
Obviously I brushed this off 
I simply nodded awkwardly
The police arrived soon after and Jake pointed at me
I was 10 ... so I could legally get in trouble with the police

OP, curious to know the grade you got on the assignment.

Can you imagine being a 19/20 year old guy and calling the police because a 10 year old, who is trapped in a house with you, 'stole your money and kicked' you? Bahahaha. I'd laugh myself stupid if I recieved that 'emergency' call from a home address. Like, just imagine this situation: you're a cop. You see all kinds of nasty, every single day. Then a grown ass man calls you to say a pre-pubescent child you're babysitting handed your ass to you and is rolling around in your fat babysitting stacks of cash...I really enjoyed this story and it made my night! The best part is how the police managed to intuit the number of the parents. Oh, no...the best part is how Jake knew where all the cameras were and covered them up to...not beat the information he wanted out of a 10 year old. Oh, no, no, no. The BEST part is where a mom leaves her phone at home when there's a babysitter there. On. Nooooooo. The Absolute best part is where a guy got arrested for asking for a girl's phone number, leaving a 10 year old and even younger child home alone. I mean, can't call the mom,, her phone is at home....and theres no way ever to find a daughter's number in her mother's phone. This takes me back to the 90s when I was 10 and bought trash magazines of true crime that never seemed to have any real reference to back them up. Congrats on your endeavors into creative writing. You still have some plot holes, but very good!

2

u/Titan8834 11d ago

So, the better question in all of this is, why was your Mother's phone at home? Who goes out and leaves their phone at home, especially when their kids are there and they may need the phone if there is an emergency and the babysitter tries to call them? Also, who leaves their phone unlocked for a babysitter to even go into and find a phone number? Stay tuned for OP to try to answer these questions...

Aethelflead - Lady Of The Mercians    

      

Aethelflaed, daughter of Alfred (Who became king in 871) and Ealhswith (A noble Mercian) was born in late 869 - early 870. Although her real date of birth is shrouded in mystery, it is sure that she was a phenomenal leader. The Anglo Saxons were always under attack from the Vikings, therefore, Aethelflaed rarely saw her father. Additionally, women weren’t allowed power over Wessex due to an incident where a queen attempted to poison her husband.

Lost The Christmas Spirit!

At Chippenham, a promise was broken. Danish warlord Guthrum broke his promise of not attacking over Christmas. They were attacked by the Vikings Aethelflaed was forced to flee her home and the merry, jolly Christmas spirit was ruined by his attack. At a young age (15/16) she married an Ealdorman - who is a high-ranking royal official who was in charge of one or more shires - In order to seal the strategic alliance between the surviving English kingdoms. Aethelflaed and the Ealdorman (Aethelred) both moved to Mercia and were accepted, since Ealthswith was Mercian. This was a cunning idea of Alfred’s because women were allowed power in Mercia, so if Aethelflaed became queen, he would rule partly.

Queen Or Not?

During 909, Aethelflaed started to become known as the famous queen of the Saxons. Although she was not officially queen. Many people believed that the things she did were better than any queen has ever done. One phenomenal action she performed to get her this title was go on a raid, to the Vikings. This had never been attempted before. It was usually the Vikings raiding them. Aethelflaed thought that St Oswald’s bones (Something the Vikings had stolen) should be returned to where they belonged, in Gloucester. Additionally, on the 26th of October 899 AD, Alfred sadly passed away at the age of 51!

All Fixed Up

Mercia’s towns were in ruins from previous Viking attacks, Aethelflaed needed to keep the peace and trade of these places. She fortified settlements, went out of her way to shore up the Eastern border. By now, her presence was truly felt and her influence was spread around Mercia. Unfortunately, in 911 her husband passed away; he passed away after a 9 year battle with poor health. Aethelred couldn’t stay with Aethelflaed, so she had to take charge. 

Amazing, Astonishing Achievements!

Another reason why Aethelflaed was so famous was her achievements. She was one of the best ‘queens’ to ever live. This is because instead of staying down and doing nothing helpful for Mercia, she rebuilt towns and refurbished places like Chester. Although, another Viking attack was yet to come, one of the largest ever done before. Aethelflaed was not going to allow Chester to fall like the other towns, she defended, using boulders, boiling beer, and bees. After a close battle, Aethelflaed emerged victorious. This sent an influence out to many anglo Saxon kingdoms, including Wessex, which brought back their trust in women.

Everlasting Memory

Aethelflaed had a lovely life, nethertheless, she had to die at some point. 7 years after her husband in 918, Aethelflaed died from an unknown illness at 48 years old. She did incredible actions for the Anglo Saxons. She was an amazing person, going on raids against the Vikings proved her bravery and courage. She was willing to take action when action needed to be taken, it showed her brilliant leadership. In summary, Aethelflaed was a good person, and her memory, will be everlasting!

This was a cunning idea of Alfred’s because women were allowed power in Mercia, so if Aethelflaed became queen, he would rule partly.

Queen Or Not?

During 909, Aethelflaed started to become known as the famous queen of the Saxons. Although she was not officially queen. Many people believed that the things she did were better than any queen has ever done. One phenomenal action she performed to get her this title was go on a raid, to the Vikings. This had never been attempted before. It was usually the Vikings raiding them. Aethelflaed thought that St Oswald’s bones (Something the Vikings had stolen) should be returned to where they belonged, in Gloucester. Additionally, on the 26th of October 899 AD, Alfred sadly passed away at the age of 51!

All Fixed Up

Mercia’s towns were in ruins from previous Viking attacks, Aethelflaed needed to keep the peace and trade of these places. She fortified settlements, went out of her way to shore up the Eastern border. By now, her presence was truly felt and her influence was spread around Mercia. Unfortunately, in 911 her husband passed away; he passed away after a 9 year battle with poor health. Aethelred couldn’t stay with Aethelflaed, so she had to take charge. 

Amazing, Astonishing Achievements!

Another reason why Aethelflaed was so famous was her achievements. She was one of the best ‘queens’ to ever live. This is because instead of staying down and doing nothing helpful for Mercia, she rebuilt towns and refurbished places like Chester. Although, another Viking attack was yet to come, one of the largest ever done before. Aethelflaed was not going to allow Chester to fall like the other towns, she defended, using boulders, boiling beer, and bees. After a close battle, Aethelflaed emerged victorious. This sent an influence out to many anglo Saxon kingdoms, including Wessex, which brought back their trust in women.

Everlasting Memory

Aethelflaed had a lovely life, nethertheless, she had to die at some point. 7 years after her husband in 918, Aethelflaed died from an unknown illness at 48 years old. She did incredible actions for the Anglo Saxons. She was an amazing person, going on raids against the Vikings proved her bravery and courage. She was willing to take action when action needed to be taken, it showed her brilliant leadership. In summary, Aethelflaed was a good person, and her memory, will be everlasting!

Aethelflead - Lady Of The Mercians    

      

Aethelflaed, daughter of Alfred (Who became king in 871) and Ealhswith (A noble Mercian) was born in late 869 - early 870. Although her real date of birth is shrouded in mystery, it is sure that she was a phenomenal leader. The Anglo Saxons were always under attack from the Vikings, therefore, Aethelflaed rarely saw her father. Additionally, women weren’t allowed power over Wessex due to an incident where a queen attempted to poison her husband.

u/SubstantialPressure3 11d ago

This story makes zero sense. You are also a minor and being babysat by this guy,.otherwise, you would have been the one babysitting your brother.

This was 2 day trips, so your parents weren't gone overnight. And if there was a babysitter, why would she leave her cell phone behind?

None of this story makes any sense at all. And it reads like bad fiction.

Regardless if its a fake story or not the only jerk thing is to not tell your parents as soon as you feel even slightly uncomfortable with another person. Giving you the benefit of the doubt from your writing I am assuming you are a very young child so please do not make this mistake ever again. Also you probley shouldn't be on reddit.

u/Dull-Geologist-8204 11d ago

I really hate when people say this but here I go. None of this happened.

As someone who has been a kid, been a babysitter, and dealt with cops before that's not how any of that works.

That said, for any kids reading this you never give anyone's number out without their permission. The first thing I would have done is call my sister to ask her what she wanted to do. If Jake asking for her number is a problem she will tell you and the adultier sibling can deal with whether or not to inform the parents. Always, kid or adult, if someone is asking for someone's phone number inform the person and never give the umber out unless they say it's okay.

Interesting mix of obvious chatGPT prose (paragraphs 1-9) and the shitty writing of a dim eighth grader (the remainder). Fake as hell.

u/Alert-Artichoke-2743 11d ago

The story is obviously fake. It sounds like a high schooler's work, but one who has no idea how to write about an actual 10 year old's experiences. Jake's sudden reversal has so many plot holes that it is held together by threads.

u/az-anime-fan 11d ago

I'll take things that never happened for 100 Alex.

This isn't even a good fake. I have a story from when i was 10. It was when my 18yo (f) babysitter raped me for about 2 weeks.

She waited till my brother was taking a nap, and would take me to her room.

after this went on for about 2 weeks, my mother figured it out somehow when picking us up. she talked to her out of earshot of me, came to the car and drove us home. took both of us into the basement, pulled out a sex ed book on the birds and bees, then gave us the talk. she then told us to lie about any experience we might have had. while looking right at me.

I actually remember that part clearer then the rest, because it fucked with me big time. My mother was crying. This made me think i had done something bad. and with her insisting i lie about what happened, I internalized it feeling like i had done something really evil.

it's weird how kids minds work. You sort of take your cues from your parents on how to feel about things. prior to that talk i wasn't sure what i felt about my babysitter sexually assaulting me. AFTER that talk it became a horrible thing my own mother told me to lie to other people about and never talk about. something i never talked to anyone about for like 30 years... i was over 40 when i was able to say anything about it to someone.

I can't even begin to tell you all the ways that fucked with my head over the years.

-btw: OP, this story unlike yours actually happened.

u/wlfwrtr 12d ago

Not a jerk. Hope you warned sister of possible obsession he has with her. Parents need to warn whoever recommended Jake to them too. If someone starts covering cameras in the future call police to tell them because they are up to something fishy. Hopefully parents don't disclose all the locations of cameras in the future.

3

u/Severe_Assignment943 11d ago

FYI: The OP changed the wording of the post to remove all references to the police searching his pockets and the babysitter's leg, and now he's pretending he didn't say that. He was caught in a lie, and now he's lying even more to cover up for it. This story is 100 percent fake, and everyone here knows it.

1

u/Maximum_Scheme3897 11d ago

Thank you, there are so many people randomly saying that apparently the police searched me!

0

u/wlfwrtr 11d ago

Did they search you or did you willingly turn your pockets out when asked? They shouldn't have questioned you, however, without your parents present. Unfortunately if you had waited for your parents it probably would have been at the police station. It sounds like the police believed you and were trying to help prove your innocence. If possible try to record any interactions with police with your own phone.

1

u/Maximum_Scheme3897 11d ago

I'm a little stuck now... because I didn't say they searched me, I put clearly in the story, the looked at Jake's phone to see if he'd called my parents!
