'They are grooming children:' B.C. father sounds alarm on 764 extremist network

Summary

A 14-year-old girl in British Columbia was groomed by members of the 764 extremist network through online gaming and social media platforms, leading to significant psychological and behavioral changes. Despite parental efforts to monitor her online activity, the girl began self-harming and withdrew from school. Her father later discovered that she had been manipulated into engaging in violent behavior, including attempts to harm family pets, and was encouraged to perform suicide attempts for an online audience. The grooming escalated over time, culminating in her death by suicide at age 15. Her father has since documented the impact of the 764 network and reported receiving messages from other victims of online extortion.
