I need to some advice. My son was getting suggestive message from someone that got hold of his number and start to WhatsApp him. That was November 2020. He finally got the courage to tell me. We sent the messages to a family friend that is a detective. She advise him to block the person. I'm afraid he might be a target again for this person. Can't there be warning issue for the person not to contact him again? or must we wait until he is contacted again? any lawyer or someone that work with law please help.

There are some ****ed up people out there. Get him a new SIM card and with it comes a new number.

The new number he mustn't share.

Sounds easy :unsure:
 
My (38 year old and married) daughter started getting similar message about 5 months ago

She cannot abandon her phone/number as she is a medical professional and receives calls and messages from all over the world

Various call blocker were tried and seem to be 95% effective. Many of the callers had a +7 prefix (Russia)

In this case tho Chris it's a kid. So the number can be nuked. And a new one used. End of problem ?
 
OP - get a new number and tell him to be judicious who whom he shares it with.

Any number can be nuked - it just takes a little more effort than some are willing to provide.

How old is your son?
Is this person known to you?

Sounds easy but its a contract and to change the number is R289. For now I we blocked the number on whatsapp.
 
Set up a meeting with this person under the guise of being your son. Have the police or a baseball bat ready.
