Found out years later that it was because their dad was s******y a*****g her.
Then, a number of years later, I met this guy (the dad) at my dealers house. He knew that I knew, being friends with his son and got really scared and promptly left without the d***s he paid for. My dealer was all like "what was that about". So I told him.
Guy was... never seen again.

Me (22F) at the time working as an EMT and this older EMT (40'sM) approaches me after a few pleasant conversations and is like oh my daughter would love to talk to you. Her mother isn't in the picture but I feel like you two would really get along. Me being nice and nieve say "sure". So he gives me his "12-13 year old" number and I text it and "talk tl her" about some stuff. He gives me a hand written note from the girl thanking me for talking to her and s**t. But I started to feel real weird about it.
Looked into the guys fb and he had like 3 pictures of A YOUNG GIRL, but they did not all look the same and weren't clear in resolution to be able to see of it was the same little girl.
Turns out he was pretending to be this girl and talk to me about boy problems and wanted me to come to his house to "hang out". Mind you, I was dating a paramedic in the same company and he knew this. He was a major f*****g creep.
It’s definitely tough to make new friends as one gets older, which is why, when people connect well with someone else, they’re often excited to snatch that person up as their buddy. This kind of relationship might be superficial at first, as folks get to know one another, but eventually, there ends up being a lot of trust.
According to research, for nearly 84% of U.S. adults, the confidence and faith that they have in their friends often surpasses what they have for their family. That’s why it can be very shocking to learn a close pal’s secret out of the blue, especially if it’s something they’ve been purposely hiding about themselves.

she tried to brush it off like "I found their homes and their family online"
Nah, you didn't find it, you hunted it down.
Everybody hopes they’ll remain close with their friends for a long time, but to maintain such relationships, it’s important to actually get to know their buddies well. That’s why experts state that in order to forge deep bonds of friendship, it’s important for folks to be vulnerable and truthful with each other.
The issue is that even though some buddies have known one another for years, they might not have shared the deepest, darkest parts of themselves yet. This could be due to a sense of insecurity or fear that their bestie will end up judging them harshly or leaving them due to it.

We went to her place. Huge hoarder pile at the bottom of open basement stairs. It's wall-to-wall, 4 feet tall sea of absolutely filthy clothes. Everything smells like cigarettes. She lives with her mom and her dog. The dog has a softball sized tumor on its ribs.
I am formulating a game plan on how to smoke as fast as possible and gtfo. My partner is being polite.
We're about 5 minutes into talking. This girl begins to suddenly dump on us about how she's dating a s*x predator who is (at that time) in a psychiatric hospital and that she's made and sold b********y p**n for him. I looked up the bus directions, set the phone on my partner's lap, and said, "The next bus is in 7 minutes. We're leaving." and I dragged him out of there. She said, "I hope I didn't scare you off!"
He was frozen in shock. We stripped off all of our clothes at our front door and were super cautious about bedbugs. I reported her to the police and animal control and haven't looked into an update since then.

A year after I quit that job, I saw his picture in the paper. He had been arrested for hiding cameras in the toilets in public port-a-potties at a local music festival.

If you look at some of the stories on this list, you might wonder what people can actually do if they find out their friend has been hiding something creepy. According to professionals, when something like this happens, it might be better to just get a clean break from the individual in order to protect your mental peace.
If they haven’t done anything illegal or morally wrong, and their actions just didn’t sit right with you, it might help to reflect on whether you still want them as your buddy or not. This can be done by trying to understand whether they were a pal who treated you well and made you feel valued, or if there were any red flags that you ignored.

I remember thinking the parents were spending an exceptional amount of time rummaging around making sure there wasn’t anything flammable or sharp. When I asked the Dad bluntly stated so my friend doesn’t burn the house down.
After the parents left my friend grabbed a baseball bat & said lets go out. I declined saying his parents told us to stay in. He got angry saying he just wanted to hit a baseball at the nearby school.
I said ok we walked over & he proceeded to smash every window around the school climbed inside smashed up classrooms. I booked it back to his house ended up calling my parents & went home.

One day I go online thinking maybe he's uploaded something I can listen to, let's Google him. Didn't find any music, but I sure did find that he used to be a middle school teacher and did 4 years in prison for downloading and sharing CP.
Now everyone I make friends with gets a thorough googling before we get close.

After maintenance guy found out he was scared to come into our office 😂.
Although it can be heartbreaking to find out that someone you trusted as your friend is actually not a good person, there can be ways to avoid having to experience this ever again. According to relationship experts, the next time you’re on the lookout for a pal, pick someone whose values align with yours.
This can help you get along well with them, and also bond you both together in a much deeper way. Another important thing to do is to really get to know your new friend well, so that you understand their interests, likes, dislikes, and personality better, which also might save you from any unwanted surprises later.

He was a friend-of-a-friend who showed up at the bigger events. He was a little too weasel-like for me to get really close to. But he always walked like the would is a puzzle he had solved in-vitro.
Brian had not been employed for over a year. He would wake up. Shower. Kiss his wife goodbye. Leave the apartment and wait for her to go to work before heading back home.
Still no idea how he financially pulled it off but it's likely his mom paid his way.
His beautiful wife found out, told everyone, divorced him and left him to do whatever it was he dropped out of the workforce to do.
So what did he do with his time off?
He amassed gigs and gigs of CP.
One of the arresting police officers knew someone in our group and it was described as a large collection of the really bad stuff. (Actually it was described in a bit more detail but this is enough of a description.)
He was arrested. Face and name all over the news. Forced out of town. Employed by a vending company to empty coins from vending machines and on a list for the rest of his life.

They basically had a whole crew of high school and college kids donating time for experience.
They ran out of money pretty quick, anyway. Then credit card debt.
Then one of the guys wife was M******D in a burglary gone wrong.
Now the two aspiring horror movie makers are serving life in prison because they faked the burglary to m****r her for insurance money to use to finish their film and got caught in no time.
The thing is, every single person has different facets to their personality, and it’s not really possible to know even your best friends 100%. That’s why it’s better to just accept and love people for who they are, and to end the friendship if they turn out to be too creepy, like many of the folks in these stories.
Have you ever had a nasty revelation about any pal of yours who you always thought was nice? Please do share your stories with us.

After we had been friends for awhile he confessed he had been in jail for armed robbery. He was apparently a******d to d***s at one point and had robbed a liquor store. Did not see that coming.
I stayed friends with him and we never spoke of it again but inevitably drifted after high-school and I lost track of him. I hope he stayed on a good path.

I was like "you didn't check if he was okay?"
And he said
"I mean, he was a f*****g suit, man!"
Dude tried to act as though he was this radical anarchist but was really just a s*****g.
