Man beachte die Großschreibung! Dieses Flehen in den Worten! Die Not muss wirklich groß sein. Da will, nein, da muss man doch helfen, zumindest, wenn man kein frittiertes Herz in seiner Brust sitzen hat.
Nur, wie kann ich herausfinden, ob sie es ehrlich meint? Und ob sie wirklich sie ist? Es treiben ja soviele Übeltäter ihr Unwesen im Internet, das hört man ja immer wieder. Vorschläge, wie weiter zu verfahren sei, sind in den Kommentaren höchst willkommen!
