  1. I actually know this guy. This guy is my moms ex. Hes abusive, used to kill small animals, he used a taser on mine and my moms dogs and they were temporarily paralyzed, he was really predatory twoards my sister who was 13 at the time and said that she was his best friend. He also would walk around the house in boxers when it was only my sister but would quickly get dressed when anyone would show up.He destroyed my moms property, stole stuff, used her identity. Hes also doxxed my mom. He makes himself out to be a good person on tiktok but hes not. Austin is absolutely insane and not sober.
