This is the third article I’ve brought you on this topic this week and it probably won’t be the last.
Why?
so:
All these boys committed suicide after a fraudster gained their trust by posing as an attractive girl and then asked for explicit photographs. If you’re a parent, this is a conversation you should have with your teen. https://t.co/k65uewNR2K pic.twitter.com/zVv7HittLa

At this age their brain is not fully developed and they feel that this is their only option.
This is unacceptable, and for as long as I have this platform, I will rant to anyone who will listen about what parents, grandparents, and any type of guardian can do right now to prevent this from happening to you!
Here’s exactly what you need to do β do it now:
If you have children or grandchildren, change these settings now!
Why is a large old photo of John Rich the main image in this article?
Because all credit for this article and the life-saving tips I’m about to show you goes to him.
Here’s a quick summary… A few months ago, John Rich attended a small local event where some DHS agents were explaining how perverts groom children online and then eventually meet with them and molest them. Or even kidnap them.
And we’re not just talking about a few events, we’re talking thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of times every year.
As John Rich says, as parents we will never let anyone come into our house and do whatever they want with our family, we will fight them or shoot them on the spot!
But that’s exactly what we do by giving them phones, iPads, and social media. And most parents and grandparents have no idea this is happening.
After learning of this and being impressed by its scope and depravity, Rich immediately teamed up with DHS to get it out to their larger audience (Bravo sir, I have so much respect for you!) and now I’m going to partner with both Rich and DHS to help get this message out to our 5+ million monthly readers!
Please help me by sharing this far and wide in your network!
Below are two links where you can watch the full presentation on X or YouTube (whichever is your preference) and then since I know not everyone has an hour to watch a video, below I’m going to put a summary of the cliff notes on what you can change immediately (a checklist).
Don’t do it tomorrow, do it now!

Now here is your summary checklist:
The live stream you just shared is the entire December 3, 2025 broadcast, hosted by country singer John Rich along with DHS Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Dennis Fetting (23+ years fighting child exploitation) and opening remarks from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
It has already become one of the most-viewed child-online-safety presentations in American history (hundreds of thousands of views live, now many millions of views across all platforms).
Here are the key tips and immediate actions every parent, grandparent or teen needs to take tonight (they’re all free and only take a few minutes):
Immediate 5 minute protective action
(Do this tonight – literally right now)
Make every social-media account private
Instagram β Settings β Account Privacy β Private Account
tiktok β Profile β Settings & Privacy β Privacy β Private Account
snapchat β Profile β Settings β “Who can contact me” β Only my friendsRemove strangers from followers/friends list
Sit down with your child and go line by line:
“Do you know this person in real life?” β If No β Delete/BlockTurn off location services on camera (A photo stops predators from getting the exact address of your home)
iPhone: Settings β Privacy & Security β Location Services β Camera β Never
Android: Settings β Location β App Permissions β Camera β DenyTurn off Snap Map/Ghost Mode on Snapchat
Snapchat β Snap Map β Gear icon β Ghost Mode = On (no one sees real-time location)
Use Apple Family Sharing or Google Family Link So parents can control app downloads, screen time, and remotely approve/reject apps.
biggest red flags
(Beauty and Extortion)
The unknown βfriendβ gives gifts, Robux, V-Bucks, skins, money, etc.
Anyone asking to move away from gaming platforms to Instagram/Snapchat/Discord/Kik
Anyone asking for photos (even “harmless”) or turning on a webcam
Sudden mood change, hiding the phone, depression, fear of losing the phone
If your child is currently being sexually abused:
Don’t Pay (It Never Stops)
Block account immediately
Do not delete anything (evidence)
Tell a trusted adult β Call the HSI Tip Line at 1-866-347-2423 or visit Know2protect.gov and report
resources (Bookmark these tonight)
Know2protect.gov β DHS official hub (request videos, tip sheets, live agent presentations)
Report directly to Homeland Security: 1-866-347-2423
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children: 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or report.cybertip.org
Take It Down service (helps remove leaked nude photos): takeitdown.ncmec.org
This isn’t about scaring parents – it’s about simple, free, 5-minute solutions that make your child a “hard target” that predators simply give up on and move on.
Thousands of families who watched the stream shut everything down that same night and later wrote that their children actually thanked them after realizing the danger.
You now have the exact playbook that predators use and the exact playbook law enforcement uses to stop them.
Take out 10-15 minutes tonight and protect your children. Then repost/share the video so all the other parents you know can do the same.
I will end with this…
On a related note, Rich got so excited about this that he wrote a new song called “The Righteous Hunter” and let’s just say it’s amazing!
See here:
And their second song that’s going viral right now is called “Revelation,” which is, as you might expect.
See here:
Also like this version:
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! The children’s choir sang my song “Revelation” at my school. I thought I’d seen it all, but this is the top one! Thank you kids, I’m honored π Stay with Jesus, and He will be with you β€οΈ (Let’s get these boys and girls millions of views π pic.twitter.com/REFyqmNSEp
