Uvalde gunman regularly threatened teenage girls online prior to the massacre

They began to see a darker side to him. He posted pictures of dead cats and sent them bizarre messages. Ramos was heard saying that everyone in the world should be raped, according to a video that he posted from a Yubo chatroom. The post reviewed it.

Austin’s 16-year old boy claimed that he saw Ramos in Yubo panels. He told The Post that Ramos made sexually explicit comments to young women on the app, and threatened his life during one panel in January.
 
 The teen said that he had seen him threaten girls with sexual assault like kidnapping and rape. It was not a one-off incident. It was quite common.”

Yubo was notified by Ramos and his friends that Ramos had been bullying them and other infractions numerous times. He said he never received a reply and that the account was still active.

Amy Williams, Yubo spokesperson, would not confirm whether there were any reports of abuse in relation to Ramos’s account. In an email, she stated that there was an ongoing investigation into the matter and that this information is specific to a person’s data. “We are not legally allowed to share this information publicly at this point because of this,” she wrote. Williams wouldn’t say what law prevented the company from commenting.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R-Texas) stated Wednesday, that Ramos also wrote “I’m gonna shoot my grandmother” as well as “I’m gonna shoot an elementary school” in Facebook messages shortly before the attack. Officials from the Texas Department of Public Safety said that Ramos had spoken to them several times about purchasing a gun in private chats via Instagram.

According to an official, he wrote “10 more days” in one of his messages ten days before the shooting. Ramos was asked by another person, “Are you going to shoot up a school or something?” Ramos replied, “No, don’t ask dumb questions.” The official replied, “You’ll see.”

Andy Stone, a spokesperson for Meta, which controls Facebook, Instagram, and the chat service WhatsApp, referred The Post back to an earlier statement by the company, in which it stated that the messages were privately sent.
 
According to social media researchers, the traditional “see something, tell something” mantra has been eroded by the rise of private messaging services that allow strangers to connect. Strangers may feel that they do not have the ability to respond to a report filed into a corporate abyss when they suspect something is wrong.
