The American investigation agency FBI’s officials has stated that loose network of violent predator are rapidly increasing. These networks befriend teenagers through popular online platforms and then coerce them into escalating sexual and violent behavior. The network pushes victims to create graphic pornography, harm family pets, cut themselves with sharp objects, or even die by suicide. 

The online predators are part of the network known as “764”. They demand victims to send them photos and videos of it all, so the shocking content can be shared with fellow 764 followers or used to extort victims for more. Some of the predators even host “Watch parties” for others to see them torment victims live online, as per the authorities.
