I've been harassed for the past five months. Need Meta Administrator help.

[17M] here. I beg you read this, as this has been going on for months. I don't mean to play the minor card at all and I literally don't want to, but this guy's definitely late 20s based on the voice I heard come from him. He also has implied he's in his adulthood.

 

Since meeting a user named @Slotherhouse while VR gaming back in 2024, the guy has proceeded to incessantly text me almost every single day for about a rough estimate of five months and most likely more than that, he started all this over a game of Pavlov. Constantly talking about how I don't have a father, and that "not having a father is the reason for your behavior and mental issues" I don't have any mental issues and I personally don't really think about my absence of a father figure that much.

 

He also stalked my insta and told me my home address and things about my mom and stuff (all of which wasn't on my insta), which I personally don't really care about because to me that's all public information, but it's still heavily strange that he does this and I know for sure he shouldn't do that. 

 

He proceeded to argue with me for about a week straight telling me my address, talking about how I had no father, saying things about my mom and just saying a bunch of public information about me. He called it "doxxing me" even though, again, it was all public information, and I also don't really think much about my absence of a father figure, because I personally don't think it matters. I personally don't get bothered by this stuff because again, it's public info.

 

I decided I was gonna block him.

 

It doesn't stop there. After blocking him, he has probably made around 10 new emails to make around 10 brand new oculus accounts to text me incessantly on. I block his alt account, he makes a new one with a brand new email.

 

I report him, doesn't work, he messaged me something like "reporting me doesn't work, Aidan. You're not gonna escape my cyber bullying" or whatever something cringey like that. I've reported him twice. Does the system work? I guess I want help from a Meta Administrator who can dish out the penalty or maybe even IP ban this guy personally for me. Because I know full well if I get his main account simply banned, he's just going to make a million more alts just to use against me.

 

This guy is currently texting me, talking about how "you're scared because I doxxed you" and "your father is still gone from your life" which again, I've talked on these things. 

 

I won't lie and say I'm innocent, obviously I've retaliated in some pretty aggressive ways to defend myself, throwing back insults and such. I'm only human and I'm perfectly fine with my account getting a lesser suspension (compared to how big of one he should get) as well. But I've never gone as far as scrounging any real life info about anybody online in my entire life. 

 

I've posted about this on Reddit, and I usually refuse to take the role of the victim, I have a lot of pride in my body, and I've obviously retaliated at this guy plenty times. But this guy will not stop. He's threatened to just mail letters to my house if I somehow do get him successfully penalized. He's threatened to switch to my other social medias to message me there if I ever get him off of my Meta app.

 

If you ask me and others, I genuinely see this guy as a psychopath (a redditor used that to describe him, and it fits how insane and insufferable this guy is)

 

I want this guy personally IP banned or permabanned, anything, even a measly month suspension! Especially considering he literally scrounges and attacks for personal info and such, he's gotta be breaking some pretty serious rules! Again, reporting him from the app literally does nothing and he literally laughs in my face at the report notifications he gets that don't penalize him in any way.
