Within four years, the FBI has opened 250 investigations linked to his creation, and teens across America are being extorted into murder, torture, and suicide.This is not a horror movie. This is the largest teen murder network in U.S. history.

Once trapped, members demand escalating acts: carving names into flesh, harming family pets, livestreaming self-harm, and even murder [citation:8]. Victims who resist face swatting or doxxing. The network's goal is nihilistic: destroy society by corrupting its youngest members [citation:6]. A 13-year-old Washington boy was pushed to hang himself on a livestream while members watched and encouraged him. A 24-year-old Arkansas man plotted to murder a 14-year-old girl who stopped complying. An 18-year-old Michigan man distributed animal crushing videos. All connected to 764 [citation:4][citation:6][citation:8].The New Detectives covered the rise of teen murder networks in Season 7, Episode 17: Wasted Youth [citation:2]. Today, the threat has exploded. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the person manipulating your child might be a teenager in the next room.
