The drama-smelling story of Nurse Omur, who was murdered by the person she met on the Internet, revealed the extent of the danger brought by the digital space. When family ties weakened, people were deprived of the gains they would gain from here, and they tried to fill this gap through social media. Love for people is as essential as water and bread, and individuals living apart from each other could neither show their children the source of love nor support them with their love. Unfortunately, this disconnection in the family has increased the demand for digital media. People who felt empty became addicted to the virtual world and believed that they could find everything they were looking for here. However, this was an environment where danger was rife and the murderers waiting for their victims were waiting in ambush.
 
Individuals who joined the inhabitants of the digital world began to be unable to adapt to social environments and became lonely as they got lonely. The friendships they established in the virtual world were very attractive to them and they did not take into account the danger at the end of the road. The murderers watched their victims from afar and determined their needs and acted accordingly in order to influence them, but it was very difficult for the victim to realize this. When the murderer gained the trust of his target, everything was revealed, but what could the victim do after this time? How could he escape this danger?
 
Don't cry over spilled milk
 
The fact that social media was seen as a communication tool and people's trusting the people they met from there and taking them into their lives immediately caused serious problems. As a matter of fact, social media is like an ocean where polluted waters flow, and the criminal-oriented people who nest here present themselves in accordance with the demand of the other party and try to take the victim into their networks.
 
The murderer, who finds himself in virtual environments, disguises himself and reveals his true face after impressing his interlocutor. Time has taken away a lot, and after this time, although the victim tries to escape, he cannot succeed and dies at the hands of his murderer one evening. The event comes to the fore through the written and visual media, the victim's life is revealed and the danger brought by social media friendship is pointed out, but the waters continue to flow in the same direction and the killers roll up their sleeves to find new victims.
 
Social media is an area where people prone to crime can find a place for themselves. Here, the person tries to gain the trust of his victim by camouflaging himself as he wishes, showers him with compliments and makes promises. After gaining the victim's trust, he gains access to his private information, has detailed information about his life, and presents himself as a savior. As time progresses, the murderer gets to know his victim better and enters his life, and the danger is slowly approaching, but the victim has trusted his murderer so much that he cannot see the end of the road. The victim returned from the digital space he entered in search of love, with all kinds of burdens on his back, in a helpless state.
 
The story of Nurse Ömür brought the dangers of social media friendship back to the agenda, and we could not make sense of her closeness with her murderer. How could a woman standing on her feet be able to include a person she acquired from social media in her life? We must admit that; Neither the education we receive, our earnings, nor the social opportunities we have do not meet our need for love and attention. In order to fill that void, people will continue their search without realizing it and maybe they will be dragged into invisible abysses. It is essential to strengthen family dynamics in order to meet the material and spiritual needs of people in a reasonable and legitimate environment. Because children who grow up deprived of family affection are in search of love regardless of their title and may slip into the wrong channels.
 
Love is essential for a person to continue his development in a healthy way, but if the conditions are not suitable for this, we should accept the situation and turn to our own inner resources instead of going in the wrong direction. We should be aware that Allah is as close as the breath we take, and we should seek His love and meet the source of love. As a matter of fact, the love of servants is subject to a certain benefit and is temporary. When we reach the main source of love, we see that this natural flow continues uninterruptedly and meets our needs more than enough.
