so i am not a twitter user, and i will likely deactivate this account once i say what i have to say. yesterday i came across @sallyzakhari 's survivor story and was so hurt and angry for her. many people poured their love onto her during her moment of bravery (1)

but of course, there are always people who lack a moral compass and somehow find a way to belittle a survivor's story and instead protect a demonic pedophile. i came across a comment under her post by a guy who was doing just so.

this dude went so far as to comment on every post of hers, and argue with a number of people, essentially claiming Slyvia was a liar and accusing a "holy" man of something that would ruin his reputation and that of the churches. (screenshot)

my response to him was simple, "omak marafitsh ti rabi" which translates to "you're mother didn't know how to raise you" (screenshot)

i rarely reply to people online but like i said i was bothered by the entire situation Sally went through at the tender age of 11, so i was there to defend her. in any case, i went to bed and forgot about Mr. Pedophile Defender who's name is Peter Shenouda from the Houston area.

this morning, i wake up to an instagram notification from Peter Shenouda, who apparently added me to a group chat at midnight with the only goal of berating and disrespecting me. the group chat name is "bitch n****s" and is essentially Peter + his houston area coptic friends.

here are the group members, their usernames, full names and high schools: (Cypress Ranch HS, Houston) Andrew Metyas, David Naguib, Kareem Elias, Tony Benjamin, James Attalla. (Bridgeland HS) Bishoy Elias. (Cypress Woods HS?) Peter Shenouda.

i started to read their messages and i was baffled. they were sending my photos in the chat (my page is public) and making RAPE and DEATH wishes, misogynistic comments, racist slurs, homophobic slurs. mind you, every one of these members had a reference to "God" on their profiles

there were hundreds of messages but here are screenshots of the most disturbing ones. (1) death wish by James Attalla, racist slurs by both James Attalla and Andrew Metyas.

(2) rape wish by Tony Benjamin, followed by "get ready bbg" as in baby girl by Kareem Elias. keep in mind the entire starting point of these interactions surrounds women/girls being violated and abused.

(3) Kareem Elias and James Attalla discussing how they would like to defecate on a mother's grave. (4) misogynistic comments by Tony Benjamin and David Naguib. (5) use of "f@g***" by James Attalla.

lastly (for now, as there is SO much more) some more misogynistic commentary by Andrew Metyas and Tony Benjamin. plus the homophobic trans rhetoric they threw in there.

Tony Attalla even went so far as to send his address (which I won't expose), only further confirming his identity through an easy Google search. here are their profiles, i also have screen recordings that will show none of this is made up and these are their actual profiles.

they have since removed me from the chat, i never answered them but i'm for sure not letting them get away with such disgusting actions. they're high schoolers sure, but at that age, if you don't have some sort of moral compass, something is really wrong.

i won't let any rapist/racist/homophobe-in-the-making disrespect me like that, or anyone i know. at that age, you need to be held accountable. so i'm posting this on twitter so the internet can do its thing. send it to their parents. their schools. the authorities. i don't care.

let's not also forget that cyber-bullying is a real crime that can be prosecuted because it has real consequences. imagine being in school with one of these boys? imagine being vulnerable with one of them? girls/women in the houston area, please disassociate.

that's all folks. remember to protect your daughters and raise your sons. one love
