To report vulnerable TikTokker for safeguarding reasons

Have NC just for this post. My DD was looking at TikTok on my phone this week and we came across a woman who seems to post lots of videos of her eating junk food. She seems very very vulnerable, dirty clothes, hair, eats very messily and picks nose etc but oblivious to it. As a SEN parent I can see very definite visible signs of learning disability, and some of her videos about past activity show that she is easily scammed: We can see she gives money via gifts to other TikTokkers that she calls her friends. It’s not rage bait. I don’t think this person is capable of that. But I am worried about them.

There is a woman i have read about on reddit who is on tiktok. She believes she is in a relationship with one of those "influencer' people. She's very vulnerable and by all accounts her 'followers' egg her on just to laugh at her.
I do think platforms have a moral duty to the vulnerable.

I think they do too, but clearly they don’t! It makes me worry so much because this is probably widespread and doesn’t just affect this one person.

I’m not going to be confirming any names or locations, because the point of this post is safeguarding - throwing names and places into the hat is potentially tossing more wood on the fire. I just wanted a sounding board to check my natural instinct to report.

I know who it is. She is reported a lot.

It’s quite clearly Amber. She has a mother and a brother, reporting her will achieve nothing as she lives with family. She denies she has SEN

I’m not going to confirm any names guys

The locations pinned to posts aren’t accurate, but also they’re general- you need to know more than say amber from ribble valley.

but if you do know all that data surely it’s obvious you email social services?

Yes, I think I kind of have to. I’m not a mandated reporter now but I was for a number of years and I can’t ignore all the red flags I’ve been trained to detect and report.

Are you sure you're not being fooled.. it is lucrative

Very sure, there’s an abundance of material - this person has been scammed on a major scale in a celebrity romance scam and is sending hundreds of pounds of her money to her online ‘friends’ every day. Her family are worried too.

Both name and location easily discoverable, they actually have their location pinned to their posts.

Please if any of you guess who it is - don’t say their name here.

Is it Amber? She gets reported fairly often

I was wondering this, too. If so, I think she's been reported again and said she'd accepted some social services involvement.

TikTok is full of this and some talk openly about how frequently they’re reportedly social services. So you’re probably not the only one concerned

you’d have to know her name and where she lives though, how else could you report it?

I'm not sure how you could report unless you knew her full name and location but yes I'd want to try and report how vulnerable she is.

I thought the same about someone I came across before that was vulnerable and seemed to be getting exploited to give others gifts. I’m not sure who you would report it to thou. I tried to TikTok by got no where.
