If you follow sportscenter, sometimes they have a athlete on and you can ask them questions. After game 1 of the finals they had Harrison Barnes on.
Sounds like victim blaming (I know OP wasn't actively searching for underage users streams)
To victim blame you need a victim.
Just fired up Periscope and saw three different people driving while broadcasting. Time to see if I can replicate OP's success!

Had no idea what Periscope was. Thought you were watching teen girls from the bushes with a real periscope.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Do people who call OP creepy really know what that word means?

Yes, that is something being sold to people who are looking for a super cheap phone holder for GPS use.
I'm glad the OP did what he did, even if it isn't his place to do so. Being 16 doesn't make you less responsible for what happens behind the road, should an accident occur.
It's not cute to have someone multitasking/looking down while driving. They endanger themselves and the people around them. They become as a big a hazard as a drunk driver.

Now we are calling the girl a victim? of what exactly? for getting viewers for an open stream?
I don't care how he ended up watching the stream, OP did the right thing,

Let's be clear here, she's not a victim in any sense of the word.
I honestly don't know how I got by before this tech. I used to have to ride through the a high school parking lot right as the bell rang to sceeve on 16 year olds. Now I don't even have to leave the house.
Sounds like poor application of devil's advocacy.

Seriously this was the first reaction I had when I saw the initial barrage of adults failing completely to being self aware.

I'd want to know if my 16 year old daughter is engaging in reckless endangerment. #shrug

The shear hypocrisy in this thread is gold.
That's what happens if you creep on someone getting a haircut.

Where are these 16 year old girls that are playing video games on Twitch and subsequently doing stupid shit? Who can they potentially harm?

no.....just, no.
I will admit, I thought of that, and briefly considered mailing the same message to her house...but that's a little more skeevy, given the anonymity.
Can you imagine the impact that would have on you as a 16 year old? Legit shook.

I get it that you want to do the right thing, but stop right here. The family will be absolutely freaked out when they receive an anonymous letter because someone went out of their way to get their home address.
Just move on, you tried to do a good thing and didn't get a response.
I'm not doing it, just saying the thought crossed my mind, and I got a laugh at the thought of 16 year old me getting such a letter.
Good. These kids need to know the consequences of broadcasting themselves on the internet. They seem to think it's just their idiot friends and cute boys watching. Nope! The first time my daughter turns on a webcam accessible by strangers is the last time she gets on the internet in my house. It amazes me how many parents have absolutely no idea what their kids are up to or how dangerous this stuff can be.
Edit: I probably wouldn't go that far either, but I do think kids need to know what they're getting into with this stuff.

If it's random and hard to tell it's one thing but when you do know it might be time to start feeling icky and get off the stream and regardless of what stupid thing they're doing, even with good intentions it's probably not the best idea to get a hold of their family members.
Snitches get stitches... Or a drone strike.
A man over a certain age watching a 16 year old do anything is automatically deemed creepy, society decided that a while ago along with the possibility that he's a pedophile because a lot of people like misusing and abusing that word.
But still, if you're out of their peer age you probably shouldn't be watching teenagers on the internet.
Themselves? 16 year olds have been doing stupid, potentially life ruining shit all over the internet for a while now, but I'm sure it's not really happening on Twitch since it seems to be heavily monitored.

But you're the OP. How can you be snarky about your own lack of bringing this thing to a close?
ITT: Gaf calling OP a creeper for using a social app that consensual brings people to another's perspective. Then does a socially responsible thing by informing the girls parents of her behavior. Such an action may save and her friends life. And Gaf is saying it's first and foremost creepy?

Yeah, pretty strange. I think GAF just didn't know or doesn't understand what Periscope is? Maybe GAF is actually filled with 60 year olds or something.

Thank you for reminding us that we all believe the OP is a creep. GAFs hivemind needs to be constantly reminded of its status.

You did the right thing OP. Are you expecting the mother to answer you back? Cause that ain't happening.

What the hell is periscope? Am I getting old for not knowing?
Some damn thing the kids are doing these days, and no, not at all.

Not his place? You're driving like a moron on public roads potentially engandering other peoples lives and my own. I have every right to tell your mommy or another authority figure that you're acting like a moron.
