Suspicious girlfriend sets a trap to catch her boyfriend cheating - and you won't believe his astonishing excuse when she busts him
Stacey Eden, from Sydney, explained in a TikTok video that a Good Samaritan had let her know that her partner was using a dating app.
Stacey then made a profile on the app and managed to track down her boyfriend.
'I liked his photo. He initiated the conversation with the fake profile - he messaged her,' she said.
'He sent her a name with the wrong spelling, he said he doesn't have any social media, he doesn't use it.
'He asked for her phone number, he then gave his phone number. He then asked her to message him on WhatsApp, which apparently he only uses for work.
'Then he sent her pictures of himself. Then she sent pictures of herself, and he sent more pictures of himself in his underwear.'
Stacey said her partner agreed to meet up with the fake account.
'Then he decided, I'm going to drive two hours away and go and see this girl.'
After a day's work, Stacey drove to the meeting location and filmed herself crouching behind a wall as she waited for her partner to arrive.
'Am I crazy? Yeah, I am. But these are the lengths I'll go to, to show someone that they're not to f*** with me' she confided.
'...I have never felt this much adrenaline in my entire life.'
Meanwhile, the boyfriend messaged the 'real' Stacey to say goodnight, telling her, 'I'm going to sleep baby, I'm getting tired... have a good shift at work'.
'He thinks I'm working a double shift - he thinks I'm working overnight while he's out galivanting with women.'
Shortly afterwards he parked near Stacey's hiding spot. She had given him a fake address, and she filmed him wandering up and down the road searching in vain for it.
'I'm going to go confront him,' she said finally.
She could then be heard asking, 'what are you doing?' while her partner responded, 'I knew it was you'.
The man claimed he had made the trip to meet up with the fake profile in an effort to prove it was Stacey.
'This can be our final goodbye,' she concluded after a tense back and forth.
'Everyone keeps saying it doesn't count because I set him up,' Stacey later reflected.
'Did I though? Did I really set him up or did I just give him an opportunity to make a choice? Because it seems to me that he made his choice.
'And he keeps saying "but I knew it was you, I only went because I knew it was you."
'Okay, so what about all the other things you did? That doesn't count as cheating? Because in my books it counts as cheating.'
Stacey also revealed this was the second time she had caught her boyfriend cheating on her.
'I tried to show him how much I loved him - I tried to show him that he was deserving of that love even after he cheated on me because I know what he did came from a place of self hatred,' she explained.
'It came from a place of self-sabotage because he did not believe he was worthy of that love.

How a local's weather knowledge helped to rescue a teen surfer who miraculously survived overnight after being swept out to sea
A local's advice about weather patterns was the key to rescuing a teen surfer who was swept to sea and later found alive 13km off the coast on an island. Locals and authorities began searching for Darcy Deefholts, 19, early on Thursday morning after he was reported missing on Wednesday afternoon. The young man had last been seen fishing in Wooli, before he left his clothes and bike at a nearby beach and went for a surf and did not return. It sparked a search effort that endured into the night, and his father, Terry Deefholts, made a desperate callout for assistance. While marine rescue combed a 15km stretch of the sea, Mr Deefholts received information that proved critical in locating his boy. 'A very smart friend has made some calculations,' he said. His friend, a veteran rescuer with two decades of experience, considered the wind and tidal charts and told boast they should go 'straight to' on are in particular. Dominant winds overnight hailed from a north northeasterly direction, likely to have pushed the 19-year-old to the south of his last known location - the surf break dubbed 'One Tree'. Darcy Deefholts (pictured), 19, did not return home after spending the afternoon at One Tree in Wooli on the northern NSW coast 'Boats need one [team] to go to North Solitary Island, that's where they found a person last year that got washed out,' the rescuer said. 'Any people in a 4WD can (search) Station Creek Beach, that's where [he] could have made it to. 'I just did the tides and wind and looked at the maps.' At 8am on Thursday, one boat headed for the small island - 13km from One Tree - and found Darcy. It is understood Darcy's uncle was aboard the vessel. It is not yet known how much of the night Darcy spent on his surfboard, or if he was able to take refuge on the island overnight. His mother believed he had paddled too far from shore in search of breaking waves before he was swept away. 'He's a survivor, a strong boy, he would have known that was a safe place,' she said of North Solitary Island, according to the ABC. Mr Deefholts was overcome with emotion. 'I didn't give up hope, but jeez I was close... It's a one in a million. Who survives this?' Rescuers located Darcy at a small island off the coast of northern NSW about 13km from where he went surfing 'I haven't had the chance to talk to him yet, I'm just so over the moon,' his dad told the Daily Telegraph. 'I'm still just processing everything. We've had no sleep and it has been a lot to deal with.' Darcy is now receiving medical attention. Mr Deefholts had previously pleaded for locals to help him find his son when learning of his disappearance. 'I need boats, beach walkers, drones and 4WDs and planes at first light,' he wrote on social media. 'I'm asking anyone with a seaworthy vessel to please meet me at the main Wooli boat ramp and take me to sea to help with the search. 'Of course we are fearing the worst. We are overwhelmed by the community efforts in the search so far. 'There is only one thing we want now - our beloved boy to be found safe.' Police and marine rescue crews conducted searches as members of the public offered their assistance Marine rescue crews (above) worked into the night looking for Darcy on Wednesday On Thursday, locals were overjoyed to hear Darcy had been found. 'We are so overwhelmed here with tears of joy,' one family friend wrote online. 'Thank God he made it to Solitary Island,' another added. 'Darcy, you're well loved and we are all so glad you were located safe and well.' 'So relieved for everyone,' a third added. NSW Police released a statement during the search operation, revealing Darcy had left home on his bike on Wednesday afternoon. 'When he failed to return home, concerned family members contacted officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District,' the statement read. 'Concerns are held for Darcy's welfare as his disappearance is out of character.' His phone and smartwatch had been left at home.

My 5-year-old spent £2.2k on Amazon while the rest of us were sleeping – I'm stunned but trolls say it's all my fault
A MUM was left crying down the phone to Amazon after her five-year-old racked up a massive £2,200 shopping spree. Her son had caught hold of an old phone all while his parents were asleep. 2 2 Kirst McCall shared the eye-watering moment her cheeky tot splashed out on 31 items from her Amazon account. The video, which has since gone viral with over 3 million views on TikTok, shows Kirst's husband reprimand their child whilst she was crying on the phone to their bank, trying to claw back the cash. Posting under their family vlog account @kirstmccall, the mum captioned the now-infamous clip: 'I'm currently on the phone crying to Amazon – my husband is on the phone crying with our bank." The shopping list included seven ride-on toy cars, a host of random gadgets, and over £500-worth of extra goods still sitting in the cart ready to go when they caught him. The little lad had somehow managed to unlock Kirst's old mobile, open the Amazon app, and start ticking off his dream wishlist, all without anyone noticing. And while most parents would admit their kid has done something dodgy with their phone at some point, the internet wasn't having it. The clip was quickly flooded with brutal comments from trolls who blamed the parents for letting it happen in the first place. 'This is the parents' fault,' one blasted. 'Take accountability for leaving a phone lying around!' A third added: 'This is what happens when we no longer give kids the Toys R Us big toy catalogue' Others, though, were a bit more sympathetic, calling the situation a 'lesson learnt' for the whole family. One user wrote: 'Sometimes as parents, we don't realize the capabilities of our toddlers. "They use our phones for videos and we don't think, 'Hey, they can probably go on Amazon and buy stuff!'' One user clapped back at trolls saying the dad was too harsh, writing: 'What was he supposed to do, celebrate him?' Kirst later responded to the backlash, insisting they didn't just let it slide. The items are being returned, and the young shopaholic has been told in no uncertain terms that Amazon isn't a toy store. Some viewers also suggested Amazon should implement two-factor authentication for big purchases, especially with little fingers around. Whilst it was a stressful moment for the family, viewers appreciated the entertainment. One fan joked: "So sorry, this made my day haha". Another said: 'This kid's got better taste than I do, where do I sign up for his wishlist?' It seems this little one isn't the only one to go on an online shopping spree. A mum had previously issued a warning after her nine-year-old daughter spent over £1,000 on video game Roblox - unaware she was spending real money. Emma Bell didn't realise that her PayPal account was linked to her iPad and had no idea that her daughter could spend the money so easily. In the space of three months her daughter Bronwen made 25 transactions on her Roblox account - billing up more than £1,000 in her mum's bank account. The mum-of-three, from Quakers Yard, south Wales, has warned parents to be "vigilant" as she has been unable to get her money back. Roblox allows users to create their own games but also offers in-app purchases to upgrade the user's avatar with things like clothes or accessories and offers some pay-to-play games.

Cumnock care worker sanctioned for sexually inappropriate messages to junior colleagues
In a Tiktok video, sent to an ex-employee, James Arnold said: 'Sometimes I drift off thinking about you,' followed by 'Sometimes I w*** off thinking about you.' A children and young person's worker has been sanctioned by the industry regulator for sending sexually inappropriate messages to junior colleagues and former colleagues. In a Tiktok video, sent to an ex-employee, James Arnold said: 'Sometimes I drift off thinking about you,' followed by 'Sometimes I w*** off thinking about you.' Arnold, whose town of employment was listed as Cumnock, faced a series of allegations based upon his time as a Service Manager by Aberlour Child Care Trust, in Auchterhouse. The charges date as far back as April 2021. Arnold also faced charges over his behaviour while employed as an Area Manager by Greenleaf House Co Ltd, in Cumnock, dating back to June 2024. The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) said Arnold's fitness to practise was impaired due to misconduct and placed a warning on his registration for a period of two years. According to the SSSC, they said Arnold sent a junior colleague a message on Snapchat saying 'looking good', or words to that effect. He was also adjudged to have sent the colleague a message asking when she was going to the toilet to 'take naked pictures,' or words to that effect. In another message, when a junior colleague replied to a message from Arnold about her break-up, he messaged them saying: 'You're a fantastic girl and would turn a gay man straight, you will find the one for you', or words to that effect. Arnold was also claimed to have asked a colleague if she wanted to go upstairs and 'have sex,' or words to that effect. Another charge claimed that, on or around 10 June 2024, while employed as an Area Manager by Greenleaf House Co Ltd in Cumnock, Arnold sent a Tiktok video to an ex-employee which said 'Sometimes I drift off thinking about you', followed by 'Sometimes I w*** off thinking about you,' causing the person to 'feel uncomfortable.' In their notice of decision the SSSC told Arnold: 'Social service workers are expected to communicate in an appropriate, open, accurate and straightforward way. They are expected to work openly with and cooperate with colleagues and treat them with respect. 'While working as a Manager, you (Arnold) have engaged in inappropriate contact with four separate junior members of staff. This includes sending them inappropriate messages and making inappropriate comments to them, some of which are of a sexual nature.' The SSSC continued: 'You have also sent a sexually explicit TikTok video. This behaviour amounts to a failure to treat (them) with respect and a failure to communicate with them in a respectful way.' The SSSC also claimed Arnold 'abused his power' because he was employed in a 'senior role' when his behaviour unfolded. Arnold, it was said, accepted that he had behaved 'inappropriately' towards his junior colleagues and 'acknowledged' the impact this could have on them. He had also taken 'some steps' to prevent the behaviour occurring again by 'removing himself' from social media. And Arnold had not previously been found to have committed misconduct or had his fitness to practise impaired. In addition, positive references were provided relating to his practice and he 'fully co-operated' with the SSSC investigation. However, the SSSC added: 'We cannot be assured that this behaviour will not be repeated and a warning is required to mark the behaviour as unacceptable and that it should not happen again. It would negatively impact on the public confidence in the SSSC as a regulator, and the profession as a whole, if the SSSC did not take action to reaffirm the standards expected of registered workers.' Greenleaf House Co Ltd has been approached for a response.
