Not Christian Kane, but a good reminder. Especially when it comes to money. This would go for Clayne, Kane or any of their friends.

Answering a few more questions/submissions...

---------

I work at a program that occasionally has young women with problems similar to Cara's. It is understood that a successful treatment plan is a long-term collaborative effort between a patient, their family, and a qualified therapist; without any kind of monitoring, the patients typically lose any sense of accountability for their words and actions and people get hurt. Unfortunately, lots of people like Cara's mom check their kids in, make excuses, then don't follow through until it is too late.

Thanks for your input, Anon. Certainly something to think about.

Honestly, I feel really bad for Cara. I know that she hurt a lot of people, but imagine the pain she must be going through to make her WANT to fabricate a lie like that. Yes, she needs help. And I think that she should have to pay back all of the money and gifts that she received. And I think that she needs to help someone. REALLY help someone. But I do not believe she should go to jail. That would solve nothing. She needs to be in a mental institution, get on some good meds, and come out.

Most of us want Cara to be sent to treatment rather than jail. Though she certainly deserves jail time. As for "getting on good meds and coming out..." I don't really see that happening. Cara has done this over and over and over... I believe she would have to make a sincere commitment to changing and to treatment for anything to actually happen with that. And she would have to work very hard to get through this. But quite frankly, I don't see that happening. I don't know if she is capable of changing at this point. There are a lot of reasons for this belief, but I am not going to get into all of that.

Hey, I just thought you should know; Although I didn't really want to get involved in this whole thing, I knew "Cara" YEARS ago as a child. I went to church with her and when I knew her, she went by Alex. While going to church with her, she had always been that girl who wanted all the attention, who did anything so that the eyes were on her. I could have told you from the start to not believe a word she says..

To be honest, I wish someone had told me from the beginning or really at any point in the 4 years I wasted on her. I have gotten several messages like this from people who knew Cara before I did, and even people who went to high school with both of us. And I just wish someone had spoken up. That is one of the reasons I continue to answer questions, make posts, and why right after all of this came out I contacted people who knew Cara/her family. People deserve to know the truth. Cara has victimized so many people and if she isn't stopped will continue to hurt others. If I can warn someone before Cara can get to them, I absolutely will. No one deserves to be lied to, manipulated, used, and abused the way Cara has done to me and so many others.

Has this story had any news coverage?

Not yet (there are a few different reasons for that). But there has been considerable interest from some media outlets (they have reached out to me/other victims).

---------

has cara explained to anyone why she did this?

She has offered some explanations to some people (but not to me personally). Of course, most of what she has offered as "explanation" is really just more manipulation, from what I have heard. I don't know if Cara even knows why she did all of this.

---------

Where is Cara now?

Last I heard, walking around relaxed and free, no longer feigning illness (I hope), and basically acting like nothing really happened (in my opinion).

---------

I skimmed through the blog and I really needed to know, why did she lie? What was her agenda?

As I have said before...I do not know. I know she gained an enormous amount of love, attention, and affection from people both in real life and through various online venues (including Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, Caring Bridge, image and video hosting sites, message boards, etc.). She also used her lies to gain gifts/presents and other financial benefits from a variety of people. She had people giving enormous parts of themselves to her over and over and over again, but that apparently wasn't ever enough. So she kept draining people dry physically and emotionally (and in a few cases financially). I don't know WHY she did it--I know she is clearly mentally ill and a predator. But mental illness is no excuse for what she has done...She has told so many incredible lies over the past 6+ years. She needs serious help and people need to be protected from her because I don't think she is capable of stopping herself. I don't think the "why" even matters anymore.

---------

Hey, this seems weird, so I don't know how to phrase it. I came across your story through a forum, and have been through something similar myself in the past year. 10 months of consuming someone's lies because I wanted to think the better of her. I'm a tad isolated now after the incident and was wondering if you'd like to exchange IM or Skype information and chat sometime?

I am so sorry you went through something like this, too. No one deserves this kind of suffering. And I do hope that you have someone that knows what happened and can offer some support and comfort to you. But I can't really be that person for you right now, as much as I would like to. I am still dealing with my own situation and working to support and love other people close to me who were directly affected in this case. And as much as I would love to be able to help and support everyone who needs it, I am only one person. If you truly have no one else to turn to, I can try to connect you to other people with more time, energy, and spoons than I have right now. You can send your preferred contact info (e-mail, Skype, whatever) to this account or the account you originally contacted me on. Again, I am so sorry you went through something like this too. <3

Just for the record everyone, Steven is STILL NOT on Twitter.

Unfortunately the people that need to read this, probably won't see it. Just because someone creates a Twitter and says it's him, and FOLLOWS you back, ultimately doesn't mean a thing. I know you want to cling desperately to the hope that OMFG a celeb is following and messaging me!!!!!111 But no.

Pretty much every TVD cast member that has joined Twitter recently has been introduced by another cast member or has shown picture proof. More importantly, they are FOLLOWED by other cast members. If you don't have evidence, it's probably fake.

This new clown -> @SRMcQueen1 got on Twitter like 10 minutes ago and is already fooling people. Plus the other 2 or 3 fakes that continuously make Steven sound like a rambling idiot. Let's stop the madness. If he got a Twitter, we'd know about it. I'd probably make an incoherent post about it as well.
