My sister received a disturbing message from someone on Facebook who seems really creepy. This person has been taking old photos of her as a kid, making inappropriate comments, and even mentioning our home address (although she doesn't live there anymore). They've created a new account with only her as a friend and no other identifiable information. I'm looking for advice on how to handle this situation safely. Any tips or guidance would be really appreciated!

It's super important to avoid engaging with creepy characters online. I suggest reporting the account to Facebook for abuse. If this continues, collecting evidence and reporting it to law enforcement is a good idea. Just remember, don't trust anyone claiming they can help you find this person; a lot of those offers can be scams.
Social engineering might seem like a way to get info, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. Instead, think about rallying support to mass report the account to Facebook and alerting any relevant authorities. Stay safe!
If you're in India, consider filing a cyber complaint. There are legal channels to follow that can help address the issue. Collect screenshots of the messages or any evidence before you proceed.
You should definitely report this to your local cyber crimes unit. They can help you deal with online harassment like this. Don't try to engage with the person who messaged your sister—just focus on getting authorities involved to keep her safe.
