The FBI Warns Montana Parents About "Violent Online Network"

The FBI is warning parents about a "violent online network" known as "764" that is targeting small children throughout America.

"These networks methodically target and exploit minors and other vulnerable individuals, and it is imperative the public be made aware of the risk and the warning signs exhibited by victims," the FBI said of the organization in a statement.

"These networks use threats, blackmail, and manipulation to coerce or extort victims into producing, sharing, or live-streaming acts of self-harm, animal cruelty, sexually explicit acts, and/or suicide. The footage is then circulated among members of the network to continue to extort victims and exert control over them."

As if that’s not bad enough, the feds also say parents should be on the lookout for signs like withdrawal, changes in appearance, routine habits, and even eating or sleeping habits.

The FBI is reminding parents to also look for signs of harm and even self-harm, especially if your child is trying to hide it.
