Redditors Applaud Lady Who Screenshotted the Unsolicited Texts Sent to Her by Classmates and Sent Them to Their Parents

A Redditor turned a nasty texting situation into a family problem, and the fallout was immediate. Instead of quietly blocking the boys who harassed her, she screenshot their messages and sent them straight to their mothers.

The 18-year-old says three classmates had been bullying and bothering her, then crossed the line with gross, unsolicited texts. Rather than handle it the usual way, she chose a move that put their behavior in front of the people most likely to care, their parents.

That decision sparked a big reaction online, and the comments had plenty to say about it.

No one has the right to harass or send you unsolicited pictures online, but we still find some men doing this. So it’s no surprise when women find new ways to tackle the situation because it can get so annoying.

Did you like the move made by this Redditor? Have you dealt with guys like this before?

Her choice clearly hit a nerve.
