So parents had no idea that this girl had a burner phone that uncle gave to her. Oh, for sure. And that's like, that's the thing. Like, I mean, gosh, if this, if this podcast saves one kid, like dude, awesome. This is all worth it.

And that's, that's my goal is to try and get info out to parents. But it's like, listen, if you've got a kid that's a teenager, um, Don't be shocked if they have a burner phone. Go, like, be a parent. Toss their stuff.

So I think, and I can't, I can't speak for her, but from what we did hear from her, this started when she was super young and it's, Hey, this is, this is a secret.

And there's usually something to that effect, yes, that keeps a kid quiet. And then it just kind of grows from there, especially like he's got access to her all the time.

The burner? Yes. Did they know it was the uncle? Yes, because he was talking to her through his Facebook account. Oh, I would have definitely gone a non-legal route with that.
