764 Update: The Online Network Targeting Kids Is Getting Worse


Listen Later

Earlier this year, I spoke with Jason Sokolowski about the loss of his 16-year-old daughter, Penelope, after she was targeted by the online criminal network known as 764.


This video is an update — and the situation is escalating.


764 is a decentralized exploitation network targeting vulnerable kids, primarily girls ages 10–17, across platforms like Discord, Roblox, TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. The FBI and DOJ are actively investigating, but reports are increasing, not slowing down.


In this video, I cover:

• What 764 is and how it operates

• Why it’s designed to turn victims into perpetrators

• Warning signs parents should never ignore

• Why monitoring alone is not enough

• What to do if your child may be targeted


If your child can receive messages from strangers online, they are at risk. This is information every parent needs to hear.


📌 If you suspect exploitation:

Report to the FBI at ic3.gov

Or call DHS Know2Protect: 833-591-5669


Please share this with other parents.
