My name is Carolyn Kavarnos and I am the creator behind the MommyRamblingsBlog YouTube Channel. Over the past four years, my family, our channel, and myself have been the target of harassment, cyberbullying, and threats. Some things that were unleashed on us were death threats, a SWAT to our home, bomb threats called into our Sheriff’s office, threatening mail, malicious striking of our YouTube channel, stalking, false welfare checks, and false CPS calls (5 in one year).
They made multiple channels with the sole intention of attacking me, my family and even community members. Some of the things they did were to expose confidential information, including addresses, body shaming, and even bullying our children. They stalked us on vacation, released the address of where we were staying, and published photos of the outside of the house with our cars in the driveway. They made videos showing the house we were staying in plus the places we were visiting. They published photos that were taken without our knowledge in order to mock and shame us.
The abuse has only grown more relentless and intrusive. The unexpected loss of my oldest son and best friend is their weapon of choice that is used to harass me. They lie about how my son died. This includes making fake videos they pretend were made by family members to enforce their false narrative. They are looking to cause as much pain and suffering as possible to a grieving family.
My YouTube channel is not a hobby, it is my career and the source of income my family depends on. The cyber-harassers contacted my sponsors and lied about me. They have done this as brazenly as publically, defaming me in social media posts with lies that I am homophobic, a racist, the defendant in a defamation case, and more. This was all done with malicious intent to cause me the loss of my sponsors and income.
This constant abuse has taken a toll physically, emotionally, and mentally especially since it is coming on the heels of the loss of our son. They are capitalizing on this and wanting to break me. The Mommy Ramblings community is strong, and I do not know where I would be without them. Besides my family, the community was the reason I kept going. The community was somewhere I could vent and get support through this unbearable loss. It seems this community is something they also want to destroy.
We must move forward legally, and that is expensive. Their attacks have caused me to lose significant income, which I can statistically prove. We will use this money raised for a retainer and to start legal proceedings against these attackers.
My hope is that I can navigate through this triumphantly, then use the knowledge and my platform to help others. I would eventually like to start a foundation in my son’s name for this purpose. The first step begins today and I need your help. Please know how grateful I am for any amount you can donate. We also need prayers and help to share this fund with as many places as possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
