WARNING: Harrison Haynes was a 12-year-old, video game-loving middle school student when he said he met a stranger online through a video game.
Over the next few months, Haynes says that stranger, who claimed to be 19-years-old and whom Haynes never met in person, became someone whom Haynes considered his “best friend.”
“I’m not making friends, so this gaming space was like a really good space for solace for me,” Haynes, now a 20-year-old college student, told “Good Morning America.”
Referring to his friendship with the “teenager” he said he knew only as a fellow video game lover, he added, “We had so much fun.”
