Round roots are now the norm in the USA and the thread is described are UNRC, UNRF the “R” for round root.
yikes I'd hit up /r/legaladvice now - the first pedo I ran into wasn't reported and I laughed him off at the time as 'haha dumb pedos rite'.   It didn't help me see how serious the situation was.
I was like...14?  15?  Legal action can help bring home how serious it is.  I'm not sure what Minecraft can do about it, he could be waiting until he adds them on IM programs to spring the pedo thing.  I don't think she should have skype/a webcam/etc at eight, those are all tools an offender will use to go "do I want to groom this particular child/can I do so without being noticed".
If she has no irl friends and does stuff like lie about her age for online cool points/to fit in that absolutely ups her risk of predation.  Predators know kids are sick of...well, being treated like kids (And being condescended to - let's be honest we've all gone "hurr ur 12" at some point).  There's a *lot* she needs to be taught, it sounds like her parents as a major part of the problem - I'd approach someone at the school to have a talk with them.  Sorry but their negligence absolutely contributed to this.  An eight year old does not need an IM chat program, an eight year old does not need a webcam.  There's just *so many* ways you can come across inappropriate content online *without even trying to* eg edgy cartoon show fanvideos posing as real ones, other kids yammering on about sexual content that isn't age-appropriate because they don't exactly have safe search installed either, every site that doesn't bother with age confirmation etc.  I wouldn't give the internet to an eight year old. (I find Elsagate a bit wonky for the 'is conspiracy' angle but they're on point with a lot of things) 10-13 year old me back in the days of fanart-central was able to click through to view nc-17 content without so much as a user account and honestly, half that shit was probably drawn by other kids.

I'd look into after school groups re: her not having in school friends or the possibility of bullying.  She needs to be taught not to lie about her age as well, that can harm her as well as others. (Maybe she needs to see some Catfish episodes idk, lying always tanks whatever you're going for)
With getting her friends take care not to blindly assign her one to 'look after' her, I had that as an autistic kid and well, the kid kept up that follower/In Charge dynamic straight up into adulthood and turned abusive from how controlling they were.  It sucked.

The company, which began making headsets in 2005, quoted data gathered by The NPD Group from 2010 to the end of 2019.
According to NPD, Turtle Beach leads the market both in terms of units sold and revenue. Three of the five best-selling headsets of the decade were manufactured by Turtle Beach. In 2019, the company maintained its market share of over 40 percent for the 10th year in a row.
Turtle Beach noted that it holds a higher market share than its “next four competitors combined” but didn’t mention any names. The company also announced that it’s currently developing headsets and accessories for next-gen platforms, which are set to release this fall.
How do you know you are addicted to George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, the novels that are being played out on HBO’s Game of Thrones?
You know the fates of characters who are alive and well in season three--but not for long. You’re really pissed off about the exclusion of certain characters from the TV series (Strong Belwas!). And you’re counting the months, nay, years between installments. So yes, you’re addicted, and aren’t we all.
But if you were lucky enough to have attended the World Science Fiction Convention in San Antonio, Texas, last weekend, you could have had a nice dose of methadone.
Martin read another chapter from his upcoming novel The Winds of Winter. This chapter is from the point of view of everyone's favorite imp, Tyrion.
Although no one was allowed to record Martin's reading, a member of the audience, Joseph Nobles, transcribed it as best he could, then went back to summarize what he remembered. It's not Martin's work, per se, but this transcription gives us a window into what we missed … as well as something to look forward to when Martin eventually releases the book.
For those of us who don’t want spoilers, here’s a tidbit for you: Tyrion admires a depraved scene etched into man's armor.
For those of us who do like spoilers, well, here are a few, thanks to Nobles.
As we know from A Dance with Dragons, Tyrion and Ser Jorah Mormont have joined the mercenary group, Second Sons. In this scene, the Second Sons are fighting on the side of the Yunkai against Meereen.
- Tyrion and his gal pal Penny are suiting up for combat. Penny kisses Tyrion, but this angers him because it reminds him of Shae. Everything reminds him of Shae. Except when he is reminded of Cersei. Nobles paraphrased, “You would sell your sister for a cup of horse piss.” Tyrion has to laugh: “Is my taste for horse piss so famous, or have you met my sister?”
- Dany’s two dragons, Rhaegal and Viseron, are on a rampage, killing everything in sight. The camp is in a panic.
- The Ironborn have appeared [Sidenote: Obviously Victarion has made it to Slaver's Bay], and a Yunkish emissary orders the Second Sons to attack the Squids. Tyrion and the Second Sons agree that a calvary should not be fighting men on ships. Tyrion mocks the emissary, and Jorah kills him.
- Brown Ben Plumm, commander of the Second Sons, then switches sides--which is what Tyrion wanted all along.

The Winds of Winter still has no release date.The first time we visited the site we were immediately struck by its location and spectacular views. The Main House buildings are sited on a prominent hill that face this beautiful sunset vista over the mountain ranges of Thailand’s Khaoyai National Park. The main idea of a long bridge structure that spans over 2 lower buildings came to us immediately on that first visit. The early driving force of the design for the house was about how to slowly reveal this spectacular vista as visitors enter the property and how to frame it in the different spaces in the house, And finally how the al-fresco “taitoon” space underneath the “bridge” element could become a massive outdoor widescreen window that exactly frames the sunsets over the mountain ranges as they change throughout the day and the seasons.
The compound consists of three separate clusters of buildings; the Main House atop the hill with its six bedrooms, the Guest House which also doubles up as the Pool House with two more bedrooms and the Staff House which houses another four bedrooms. The Main House’s is divided into 3 separate wings so that when the three families come separately the entire building does not have to all be opened-up. The approach from the garage is completely accessible by wheelchair and leads to the house’s large shared living, dining and kitchen space in the upper “bridge” building. Down the hill from the Main House, the Pool House can function as a completely separate guest unit with its own outdoor kitchen and living areas adjacent to the pool.
As we further developed the design we considered all climatic and sustainable design factors carefully. The big question was, given that we are situated in
