Parents warned that 764 child exploitation network can easily ‘turn a kid’s screen into a trap’
A parental advocacy group is encouraging parents to remain vigilant, warning that children are being easily manipulated by an international child exploitation network through their favorite mobile apps.
The latest edition of the American Parents Coalition’s publication, “The Lookout,” highlights the dangers of the 764 network. The profile, obtained first by The Christian Post, notes that the FBI has described the 764 network as an example of “modern-day terrorism in America.”
“Predators like the terrorist organization 764, can easily turn a kid’s screen into a trap,” said American Parents Coalition Executive Director Alleigh Marre in a statement. “By targeting vulnerable children, this nefarious group uses grooming and blackmail to force escalating abuse, including self-harm and sexual exploitation that can then be streamed online.
