Número desconocido: Un escándalo de ciberacoso escolar

Throwing stones here is useless. Nothing makes any sense outside of some form of extreme mental illness breaking the most sacred barriers of trust. It's that devastating. It is a very personal story that affected the most vulnerable children also tearing at least one family apart. There are waves of shock, disgust, anger, with few answers as to why in this case. Healing after devastation like this is the hard part which will forever be ongoing. That includes the perpetrator who is obviously mentally so bent, in an almost impossible way that's impossible to come back from without lifelong intense therapy and the miracle of God's Grace. I get some solace seeing the main victim, Lauren, is embracing that Grace.

This is a shocking story with a twist the viewer will never guess without prior knowledge of this insidious stalking crime. A truly bizarre crime story that will leave the viewer puzzled seeking more answers how anything like this can be reality. A good overview told in logical sequence yet frustrating for what we don't know and can't understand.

I can not believe the twist in this...to push young teens to the point of suicide is egregious. This documentary is one of the few ones that netflix has put out this year that actually had a truly fascinating story. Worth the watch. Makes you want scream but it is very interesting. The excuses still don't make any sense though.

What the actual WHAT???? What a rollercoaster this documentary is. Absolutely insane! It made me sad many times, it grossed me out many times and left me very angry. I think this behavior is something sane people will never understand...at all! I don't care how much explaining of behaviors this person does, there is nothing in the world that can make sense of this. This person is 100% mentally ill. I don't want to give anything away. Luckily I hadn't seen it in the news, as of 2020, mainstream media is something I NEVER watch so I knew nothing of this case. I was fully invested in a matter of minutes. It's a gripping story but it's also a well made documentary. Just watch it.

The twist at the end was quite something. The person concerned should never be allowed near another in her lifetime, so wicked and evil are their deeds.

The only problem I had was the 'first messages'. We all know who started this and yet the law and the documentary makers let her slide off the hook when it could have been proven beyond all doubt.

Well worth a watch though.

'Unknown Number: The High School Catfish' is a wild ride from start to finish. Skye Borgman has a knack for unravelling these twisted real-life stories in a way that keeps you glued to the screen, and this one is no exception. What starts out as your typical small-town teenage drama quickly spirals into something far darker, more disturbing, and honestly, pretty unbelievable.

The most shocking part isn't just the relentless harassment, but the psychology behind it all. It's crazy what mental illness does to people, especially when it goes unchecked - and watching this unfold, you can't help but feel that she never truly grasped the gravity of what she did. Instead, what comes across is an almost chilling level of detachment, the behaviour of an absolute narcissist who couldn't (or wouldn't) comprehend the damage caused.

As a documentary, it's tight, pacey, and completely bingeable - the kind of thing you finish and immediately want to discuss with someone. But it also left me thinking how many stories like this never see the light of day. Personally, I wish Netflix would give the same treatment to the Amanda Todd case - a tragedy that deserves a thorough, sensitive documentary.

If you're into true crime that blends high school drama with the sinister realities of catfishing and cyberbullying, this one is absolutely worth your time.
