🇨🇦 B.C. father warns of extremist online network 764 after his daughter was 'groomed' to commit suicide

A British Columbia teen was coerced into self-mutilation, carving "764" into her own body, sending bloodied images to predators on Discord and Roblox before dying by suicide at 15. Her father watched her decline in real time but didn't recognize the grooming until it was too late. The network — now linked to terrorism charges against a Quebec man — operated openly on platforms parents trusted their kids to use. Roblox alone hosts 170,000 users under 13. The RCMP confirms 764 targets children via Discord, Telegram, Minecraft, and Roblox, manipulating them into acts of violence, animal abuse, and suicide for an online audience.

This is what unregulated digital playgrounds and parental tech illiteracy produce: predatory networks with global reach, nihilistic ideology, and body counts. No online harms bill will fix what permissive platform policies and cultural naivety enable. Sovereignty begins at the router.
