Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

The cops will make sure he's dead. There's no "capturing" in this case.
Did y'all see the truck the LAPD shot the hell out of "thinking" it "might" be him a few days back?

We are in LA County, so we have a TON of LAPD and LASD friends. Many of which work in the station he was in. It insane. One of the two outlets to the mountain he is sittig on dumps right in to our town. I will say that BM's house is WAY closer to that out let then we are so, there's a plus.
