"The internet's dark corners are increasingly recruiting children into violent online networks, leading to dangerous self-harm practices and extreme criminal behavior."
"Parents remain largely unaware of these networks, which thrive on platforms where minors are active, posing significant dangers to vulnerable youth."
The FBI has issued warnings about violent online networks that target minors, using gaming and social media platforms to groom their victims. These disturbing groups pressure children into self-harm, sharing explicit content, and even suicide. They operate under various names and belong to a trend described as nihilistic violent extremism. Most parents are oblivious to their existence while these networks continue to grow, fueling real-world violence and tragedies highlighted by cases like the shooting incident involving Solomon Henderson.
