I have just read this about this depraved man.

The biggest tragedy was Cimarron Thomas who shot herself with her father's gun. Her father then could not live with the guilt and killed himself.

In one incident it took just 9 minutes for him to groom, sexually abuse and blackmail a 12 year old girl. He befriended most of them on Snapchat. Some of them were 4 years old.
Absolutely horrifying. There are probably thousands of men like him.
How can we protect our children.

I just watched this documentary yesterday. I agree it’s really disturbing. Absolutely horrifying how he was able to abuse thousands of young girls so easily. There needs to be far greater verification checks and safety measures in place on social media and parents need to be involved and know what their children are looking at online. It’s all very scary.

parents need to be involved and know what their children are looking at online.

On MN you are accused of invading your children's privacy if you check their phones and social media.

Ha maybe so but it may be necessary. And having safety features enabled, WiFi on a timer etc. Social media is especially problematic. I only have very young DC but I dread navigating all this.
