FBI Baltimore warns of 764 network, group of individuals that coerces children into violent acts

The FBI is investigating 350 cases involving the 764 network nationwide, including 12 in Maryland, according to the Baltimore Field Office of the FBI.

The 764 network tricks, coerces and otherwise encourages kids to engage in sex acts, harm animals, mutilate and even kill themselves through video games and social media.

After the acts are posted online, 764 will sometimes host watch parties to view them.

764 targets kids as young as 10 years old, according to the FBI.

“The purpose is to basically sow complete chaos and to bring down society. These members have a general hatred for society, the way society currently is,” said Nick DeGeorge, supervisory special agent for FBI Baltimore.

The group targets vulnerable children and starts by befriending them through popular multiplayer games such as Roblox and Minecraft.
