The Boy Who Heard Too Much
By: Kelly McMaster
Lights flash and police sirens sound. You wake up to a loud banging on your door. You open it up and there are three officers knock you to the ground. Someone has called the police saying using your voice saying that you have a daughter and her father, and if you don’t have your demands, you will kill them and yourself.
That person would be John Deffano. He is, a 14 year old blind boy who has had so much hate for the world that he takes his vengeance on other people calling the police on them.
John has an incredible gift. All you have to do is have him listen to your voice one time, and he can imitate it right away without a problem. John gets on free phone chat lines and he’s known by ‘Lil Hacker’. He’s part of a gang called the ‘phreaks’. And they prank call the police posing as those they are trying to get back at.
In the gang “Phreaks”, which was over the phone completely, John would get on an free phone chat line and force people to have phone sex with him. If they refused, he would call the police to their house. This is called “Swatting”. When FBI agent Kevin Kolbye was asked on his views he had this to say, “Prank calling in my day was ordering a pizza to a neighbor’s house. Nowadays, it’s this.”
