The FBI is warning parents about a growing and violent online network called “764” that targets children through popular platforms, coercing them into extreme acts of self-harm, abuse, and exploitation. Authorities say the predators behind 764 manipulate young victims—some as young as nine—into sharing graphic content, harming themselves or others, and even committing crimes. The FBI has opened over 250 investigations into 764, which is now being considered a form of domestic terrorism.
Officials urge parents to stay vigilant, monitor online activity, and report troubling behavior as the group continues to evolve and evade detection.
