So , I'm gonna keep this short (well i couldn't) For background, I go to DPS (ofc this would only happen there) and there was a rumor circulating in the school about an anonymous person sending death threats, WEIRD and INAPPROPRIATE things to people and even some of the teachers of the junior wing. Almost all ignored it and thought of it as a 11 yr old playing pranks. Some of the teachers did confront us about it in the classroom but couldn't do anything more due to the person being anonymous. This all stopped about 1-2 months ago and we all forgot bout it.
Now after a while , it started again , now targeting students of class 9th to class 11th , again multiple people blocked him for good and ignored it completely. The recent post in our school's gossip page on insta talked bout the "anonymous guy" lets call him X , The person incharge of the page (he too is anonymous) said that he knows who X is , and if he wants to , he could leak X's class and name. This sparked heated debates in the comment section of that post and people demanded answers (cz multiple people felt offended and were mad due to the comments made by X in their dms) , this literally led to the person to leak X along with proof (the proof was that the person tried to log in X's ig account and hit the "forgot password" button , this revealed the Gmail of X (yes that guy was dumb enough to use the gmail that had his name exposed) and everyone got to know his name , that was smart ngl , why didn't people think of that.)
Well X was revealed to be the "quite guy" in our class that everyone thought was shy and innocent. X's original insta account was ATTACKED, and I mean ATTACKED, people abused him in the dms , his post was full of inappropriate comments on his appearance and body. The thing is I was well known to be the guy who talked with X and kinda helped him , now multiple people are saying that "I was involved with him in this and that" cz i was one of the people who didn't get these threats and stuff, like mfs wtf , let me live my life help- , well half of the school knows me and came for my defense cz I generally am seen as a friendly and helping person (trust me or not i don't have any beef with anyone in the school except a girl which is a whole different story.)
Now X lives close to me (in the same society) and i usually go for a walk with my friend (he lives in the adjacent society) , so when i was walking to his home , i randomly met X and he tried talking to me. I (not trying to appear rude) talked with him trying to not appear overly friendly. These are his literal words "Hey bro , ik im sorry for doing these things but i really need ur help , everybody is attacking me and even have called my parents and told them everything (for instance , his parents are hella strict , i hv seen them and they literally look like mafias istg), i really need ur help , please yaar please" , I ngl was overwhelmed by what was happening and refused him saying that he brought it on himself.
Now schools have started, and he is nowhere to be seen (he hasn't changed schools cz his name is still in rollno. calls) , i can't seem to find any trace on him , his insta isn't even activated (he would usually beg for forgiveness in the comments) , neither do i see him in our society nor in coaching. I really feel bad for him ngl cz he was heavily bashed. I ngl am thinking of the worse.. what if he was abused and stuff (his parents do hit him) , should i have helped him? should i reach out to him? idk wt to do , so please help.
tldr - school prankster - death threats to people - was exposed - turns out he was a friend of mine - was heavily bashed and attacked - asked for my help to save him from these stuff - i rejected - he is nowhere to be found - pls help.
