Family fears predator used video game messaging app to target child
John Aubrey Peal III, 14, was reported missing by family from his home in Olive Branch around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Police said Peal was last seen Tuesday around 11:30 p.m. Peal’s sister said she told him goodnight, and when the family awoke on Wednesday, he was nowhere to be found.
“He took $100, cellphone, cell phone charger, backpack and a portable hard drive,” Peal said.
Police told the family he may be out with a friend, but the boy’s parents later found out he was using a videogaming messaging app called “Discord.”
“That’s where he’s meeting people,” Peal said. “The first thing that comes to my head is he’s not on his phone for 30 hours. He’s talking to somebody on Discord, and they took his phone away when they got him.”
The Peals started researching the gamer chat app and they were horrified.
