Cyberbullying: A Mother Targeted for a Year on TikTok
Title: Cyberbullying: A Mother Targeted for a Year on TikTok
Content: In Hollyrood, Vacoas, the life of a mother in her fifties has turned into a nightmare since an intimate video of her in revealing clothing was shared on TikTok. The video went viral, being circulated by numerous accounts, plunging the victim into a spiral of public humiliation and relentless harassment.
For over a year, this woman, whose identity is kept confidential for safety reasons, has lived under constant stress. She recounts how her family and social life have been disrupted by the spread of these images and the ongoing threats she receives.
"I can’t go out without feeling that everyone is watching or judging me. Even at home, I no longer feel safe. My children and loved ones live in fear with every notification on my phone," she shares.
Since the onset of this ordeal, she has filed more than a dozen reports with the police for violations of the ICT Act and has reported multiple cases of sextortion.
On August 6, 2025, a woman was arrested by the Vacoas police for her involvement in spreading the images and online harassment. However, according to the victim, the aggressor continues to target her on TikTok, openly trolling her and escalating threats: if she does not withdraw her complaints, he vows to continue harassing her and to attack her family.
In her defense, the victim publicly named her harasser on TikTok, resulting in her own arrest, although she was later released on bail.
The situation has caused constant stress for the entire family. Her son, relatives, and some extended family members have also become targets of intimidation. According to her, some aggressors appear in public places to provoke and intimidate, creating an atmosphere of perpetual fear.
Targeted and Methodical Harassment
The victim states that the perpetrators sometimes pose as police officers to confuse and terrorize her. They spread false information and photos to damage her reputation, maintaining constant psychological pressure.
"They follow me everywhere, comment on my posts, and make up stories about me. I have videos and evidence of their behavior, but nothing has been done to protect me," she confides.
The mother, already fragile in health, explains that the situation is exacerbating her physical and psychological condition, and the fear she feels affects every member of her family. She is now calling for a swift and effective intervention: to end the intimidation, protect her family, and impose lasting sanctions on the offenders.
"I just want to live normally and protect my children. They are not just attacking me; they are targeting my entire circle. I urge the authorities to do their job," she declares.
Her loved ones confirm the extent of the situation: tensions at home, insomnia, anxiety, and a constant sense of danger.
This case highlights the dangers of private images being misused and shared online. The victim emphasizes that even though the law exists, its enforcement is too slow to stop the aggressors. "The laws on cybercrime and victim protection are in place, but I continue to be harassed. Even with evidence, even with arrests, nothing truly protects me," she laments.
She stresses the dramatic consequences of online harassment on the life, health, and safety of her family.
Today, supported by her relatives, the mother is seeking immediate protection and serious follow-up on her case. She also wishes to raise public awareness about the dangers of non-consensual sharing of intimate content and the consequences of cyberbullying.
"I want this to stop. I want my family to live without fear. And I want those responsible for this to be held accountable," she concludes.
