Now there is so much to learn and understand. Granted, there is also more training, free content, technology, and education. But in a way that may make it more overwhelming.
To anyone jumping into the depths of this ocean now, you have my sympathies but I also share your excitement. (2/2)

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 from someone you trust. Contact law enforcement. They can help stop this.

𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘀.
