Bradley Cadenhead

Shadows Online: The Rise and Horror of 764

Dive into this chilling episode of 69 South, where hosts Chop and Julie expose the dark world of 764—a decentralized network of violent extremists founded by Texas teen Bradley Chance Cadenhead. From his fractured childhood in Stephenville, riddled with divorce, bullying, and untreated bipolar disorder and anxiety, to founding a "cult-like" group blending nihilism, Satanism, and neo-Nazi O9A ideology. Learn how 764 grooms vulnerable kids aged 10-17 on platforms like Discord, Telegram, Roblox, Minecraft, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok, coercing them into self-harm, animal abuse, sextortion, and CSAM via blackmail and "cut signs."

Based on Erath County court docs (case JV02023 and indictment 22CRDC-00016), forensic evidence of hundreds of graphic files on Bradley's devices, and his 80-year sentence for child pornography possession/promotion, we timeline his 2021 arrest to ongoing FBI probes of 350+ subjects in 2026. Hear gut-wrenching stories from parents like Colby Taylor (son Jay's coerced suicide) and Christina (daughter's mental breakdown), plus survivor accounts of grooming turning to terror.

Chop and Julie deliver essential tips for parents: spot signs like unexplained cuts, secretive app use, gore obsession; how predators build trust then extort "tributes"; and device checks for coded terms. Resources: FBI Parents Guide, NCMEC CyberTipline, DHS Know2Protect.

Trigger warning: Child exploitation, self-harm, suicide. Discretion advised.

Key Topics:

  • Bradley's backstory and 764 origins
  • Investigation, court details
  • Victim/parent testimonies
  • Online safety awareness

00:45.632 --> 00:47.214
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a cult.

00:48.215 --> 00:49.697
[SPEAKER_01]: Happy new year everybody for one.

00:50.622 --> 01:16.545
[SPEAKER_00]: So today we're going to be tackling a story that's as chilling as it is urgent, the rise of 764, a decentralized network of violent online extremists, founded by a teenager from rural Texas, this group has been classified as a tier one terrorist threat by the FBI and a terrorist entity by the Royal Canadian mounted police.

01:17.217 --> 01:27.916
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to cover the timeline, the founder's story, what investigators uncovered, heart-wrenching accounts from victims, and parents, and crucial advice for keeping your kids safe.

01:29.179 --> 01:32.665
[SPEAKER_01]: Last night, this isn't just a tale of one person that he sent.

01:32.745 --> 01:38.095
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a wake-up call about how platforms like discord and telegram can become any grounds for predators.

01:38.564 --> 01:46.512
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll draw from our court documents from Bradley Cadenhead's case for Rinsic findings and real voices from those affected.

01:46.952 --> 01:48.614
[SPEAKER_01]: Listener discretion is advised.

01:48.814 --> 01:53.279
[SPEAKER_01]: This episode discusses child exploitation, self-harm, and suicide.

01:54.460 --> 01:56.722
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's start with the man at the center.

01:56.762 --> 02:05.331
[SPEAKER_00]: His name is Bradley Chance Cadenhead, born on August 21st, 2005 in Stevensville, Texas.

02:05.699 --> 02:12.534
[SPEAKER_00]: A small town known as the cowboy capital of the world with dairy farms in a population of about 20,000 people.

02:13.415 --> 02:17.524
[SPEAKER_00]: From the outside, his life seemed ordinary but crax appeared early.

02:17.544 --> 02:21.733
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, court records painted picture of a fractured childhood.

02:22.152 --> 02:29.181
[SPEAKER_01]: by age eight, Bradley was exposed to online pornography, escalating to violent Gore videos at around age 10.

02:29.861 --> 02:35.328
[SPEAKER_01]: The same year his parents, Heather Snyder, and Jeff Cadenhead divorced in 2015.

02:36.049 --> 02:39.533
[SPEAKER_01]: He sheddled between his homes, his moms, and his dads.

02:40.574 --> 02:49.425
[SPEAKER_01]: Heather struggled with alcohol leaving him unsupervised while Jeff tried to provide stability.

02:49.844 --> 03:00.493
[SPEAKER_01]: Morrow diagnosed him with bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety, and behavioral issues possibly stemming from reported sexual abuse by a family member.

03:01.214 --> 03:02.795
[SPEAKER_00]: School was no refuge.

03:03.356 --> 03:05.197
[SPEAKER_00]: He was bullied relentlessly.

03:05.237 --> 03:07.839
[SPEAKER_00]: Bradley said he was an easy target.

03:08.140 --> 03:18.889
[SPEAKER_00]: He had breakdowns and he dropped out of high school after making threats, which included plans to

03:20.033 --> 03:24.340
[SPEAKER_00]: by ages 13 to 15 so that would have been from 2018 to 2020.

03:27.765 --> 03:36.898
[SPEAKER_00]: He immersed himself in online communities like CVLT pronounced called on Discord, learning six-stortion tactics.

03:37.780 --> 03:46.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Dr. Maria noted his psychological maturity lag that making him vulnerable to blurring fantasy and reality.

03:46.578 --> 04:02.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Now let's fast forward to late 2020 or early 2021 at age 15 inspired by CVLT, but wanting to take it to a whole new different level, a lot worse level as he later admitted in his

04:03.132 --> 04:13.532
[SPEAKER_01]: Bradley founded 764 named after Stephenville's zip code, which is 76401, not to be confused with the 766 crap that's going on nowadays.

04:13.913 --> 04:17.220
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's 677, it's 677.

04:17.460 --> 04:23.031
[SPEAKER_01]: It's 677 anyway, there's a lot of people getting that mixed up, but honestly it has nothing to do with it.

04:23.753 --> 04:39.773
[SPEAKER_01]: But 764 started on discord under the alias like Felix or Brad 764, he positioned himself as a cult leader, creating hierarchies where members in victims recruited and coerced vulnerable teens.

04:40.293 --> 04:50.706
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the group's ideology is a toxic mix of nalism, Satanism, and neo-Nazi elements from the order of nine angels.

04:51.293 --> 05:02.725
[SPEAKER_00]: They target kids, age 10 to 17, often those with low self-esteem, mental health issues, or from marginalized groups like LGBTQ plus youth.

05:03.466 --> 05:06.649
[SPEAKER_00]: Platforms include discord for core ops.

05:07.570 --> 05:16.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Telegram for chats and recruitment is via RoboLux, Snapchat, Instagram, Kick, and even Minecraft.

05:16.825 --> 05:36.403
[SPEAKER_00]: initial contact is friendly chats to build trust and then they the demands escalate to explicit content self harm like carving cut signs of C. P. 764 which means child porn 764.

05:36.772 --> 05:41.977
[SPEAKER_00]: or a Brad is a Pito into these victims skin.

05:42.037 --> 05:46.461
[SPEAKER_00]: And all of them will abuse and live streamed violence.

05:47.021 --> 06:00.213
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're not talking folks like how some of us was in school and maybe took a paper clip or a staple would kind of scratch your girlfriend's name into your arm or something dumb, you know, something like that would go away.

06:00.233 --> 06:03.036
[SPEAKER_01]: These were, these were wounds that needed to be stitched up.

06:03.116 --> 06:04.197
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, gashes.

06:04.868 --> 06:12.799
[SPEAKER_01]: some of the pictures are just horrific, but Bradley described 764 in his pre-sentence investigation report as like a cult.

06:13.300 --> 06:28.662
[SPEAKER_01]: They were worshiping me, he said, servers averaged 200 members sharing C-SAM of toddlers and pre-teens being slapped, stomped, choked, mixed with gore-like infant castration or manipulated deceased bodies.

06:29.183 --> 06:33.289
[SPEAKER_01]: They used doxing, swatting, and cyberbullying to control victims.

06:33.269 --> 06:37.076
[SPEAKER_01]: refusal, threats to families, or public exposures, what are used?

06:37.617 --> 06:56.492
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was basically built this little army of people who wanted to go out and coerce these victims into recruiting more people and self-harming their selves and them.

06:56.995 --> 06:58.837
[SPEAKER_00]: and they're being exploited like that.

06:58.877 --> 07:04.062
[SPEAKER_00]: They're passing these videos that they make them post around these servers.

07:04.862 --> 07:12.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like, real live predators on the internet, praying on your children who are using these apps.

07:12.690 --> 07:15.452
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, somebody could just send you a message, hey, how are you?

07:15.532 --> 07:16.593
[SPEAKER_00]: I've seen your profile.

07:17.254 --> 07:19.716
[SPEAKER_00]: And some young kid, you know, they're so naive.

07:19.736 --> 07:21.318
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, oh, hi, thanks.

07:21.418 --> 07:25.922
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so, and so, and then it all starts from,

07:27.218 --> 07:28.720
[SPEAKER_00]: that right there.

07:28.740 --> 07:43.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's insane that one little picked on bullied boy if he actually was bullied, you know what I mean, could derive so much pleasure out of seeing somebody go through so much pain.

07:43.985 --> 07:46.148
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the things that really gets me.

07:46.609 --> 07:52.078
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember reading in this article that he

07:53.358 --> 07:58.444
[SPEAKER_00]: was like 10 years old when he watched his first gore video.

07:58.504 --> 08:10.497
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was of like somebody killing an animal or something and he said it literally made him physically sick and he ran home and pute and was like disturbed for a few days.

08:10.957 --> 08:17.104
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like we just like we always talk about people with this this sea spam and and the um

08:17.978 --> 08:21.823
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, sexually molested kids, it's like dope to them.

08:22.183 --> 08:25.227
[SPEAKER_01]: The first time you do dope, it makes you sick.

08:25.268 --> 08:26.049
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?

08:26.249 --> 08:28.792
[SPEAKER_01]: And then just somehow it just grabs the hold of you.

08:29.052 --> 08:31.195
[SPEAKER_01]: This is just like a drug of these people.

08:31.796 --> 08:38.445
[SPEAKER_00]: So under Bradley's lead, seven, six, four, splinared into offshoots like six, seven, six.

08:39.446 --> 08:43.311
[SPEAKER_00]: CVL, T-I-S-T, court.

08:44.422 --> 09:03.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Cash car, which is spelled K-A-S-K-A-R, Harm Nation, Leak Society, Hail, which is H-3-1-1, and later, H-8-8-4, collectively called The Com.

09:04.206 --> 09:09.973
[SPEAKER_00]: By mid-2021, it was international, but the horse didn't stay hidden at all.

09:10.409 --> 09:14.474
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the comment basically the community of all these little groups together.

09:16.156 --> 09:16.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

09:16.296 --> 09:17.658
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's hit the timeline here.

09:17.938 --> 09:28.511
[SPEAKER_01]: March through May of 2021, Bradley's alleged offenses peak involving possession and promotion of child pornography, June of 2021, in C.M.

09:28.631 --> 09:29.071
[SPEAKER_01]: E.C.

09:29.212 --> 09:31.995
[SPEAKER_01]: gets cyber tips tracing C. Sam.

09:31.975 --> 09:39.984
[SPEAKER_01]: to his IP at Heather's home, August 25th, 2021, Stephenville, Texas Police, executed search warrant.

09:40.324 --> 09:42.186
[SPEAKER_01]: They seized his laptop and phone.

09:42.787 --> 09:43.968
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to make it clear here now.

09:44.008 --> 09:52.257
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't just, as we'll find out later in some of this court documents, he wasn't just passing these videos around.

09:52.317 --> 09:54.280
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't just a middleman for these videos.

09:54.660 --> 10:01.948
[SPEAKER_01]: He was coercion a lot of people to do these horrific acts, whether they be self-harm or

10:01.928 --> 10:04.852
[SPEAKER_01]: child molestation or child porn.

10:05.894 --> 10:07.777
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I mean, it gets a lot deeper.

10:07.837 --> 10:08.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Stick around.

10:08.478 --> 10:21.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, what investigators found was stomach turning forensic Allen analysis, Kathleen Hickey from Texas DPS uncovered hundreds of files.

10:22.685 --> 10:50.869
[SPEAKER_00]: explicit videos of children abused in term mixed with non-port pornographic gore like infants being castrated or choked discord evidence tied it back to servers labeled 764 users name like Felix in chats showed doxing coercion for self harm and in live stream so they would also make these

10:50.950 --> 10:59.563
[SPEAKER_00]: little girls or little boys get on live streams and self-harm and while all these people would watch in the same room.

11:02.066 --> 11:12.241
[SPEAKER_01]: Like on like a computer group like a big like a Facebook live, but on the whole party on screens where they could hide in their rooms.

11:13.243 --> 11:14.004
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

11:14.384 --> 11:20.333
[SPEAKER_00]: And if these kids didn't do what they wanted them to do, they would threaten their family,

11:20.853 --> 11:29.004
[SPEAKER_00]: threatened to expose whatever videos they had sent being under coercion or anything like that.

11:29.665 --> 11:36.795
[SPEAKER_00]: Now I imagine in beginning they're not so much so bad videos, maybe a selfie or something like that.

11:36.935 --> 11:50.033
[SPEAKER_00]: But they manipulate these kids into becoming their friends, whether it's romance or just hey, I'll protect you from these bullies or whatever, but then they get them to send, you know, maybe a little bit.

11:52.223 --> 11:53.814
[SPEAKER_01]: They had a whole system about it too.

11:54.297 --> 11:57.458
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure we'll get into that later, but they found a...

11:57.877 --> 12:01.121
[SPEAKER_01]: a book online on how to groom these kids.

12:01.221 --> 12:03.383
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they posted it by step.

12:03.564 --> 12:05.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, step by step, how to turn.

12:06.727 --> 12:08.870
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was, it was um, detail too.

12:08.930 --> 12:17.339
[SPEAKER_01]: It was how to turn a vulnerable 14-year-old girl from normal to a victim, a victim to really messed up shit.

12:17.540 --> 12:18.661
[SPEAKER_00]: To be an end abuser.

12:18.921 --> 12:19.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, exactly.

12:19.982 --> 12:20.783
[SPEAKER_01]: It's disgusting.

12:21.264 --> 12:24.087
[SPEAKER_01]: It was calculated to say the least.

12:24.674 --> 12:48.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Captain Linear said I've never seen any individual get as many complaints against him as Bradley it was just it wasn't just possession it was manipulation above typical child pornography for example evidence included photos of at least 20 different minor girls performing sex acts.

12:49.244 --> 12:56.351
[SPEAKER_00]: with bodies bloodied and branded with phrases like I Heart C. P. 764.

12:56.572 --> 13:03.379
[SPEAKER_01]: The Bradley was only 15 years old at the time, and he was arrested for 62 counts.

13:03.399 --> 13:03.679
[SPEAKER_01]: 31.

13:04.019 --> 13:10.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Third degree felonies for possession of child porn and 31 second degree felonies for promotion of child porn.

13:10.846 --> 13:17.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Depictions included children under 18 in deviate sexual intercourse or Lude Genital Exhibitions.

13:17.273 --> 13:30.812
[SPEAKER_01]: released on $62,000 personal recognits bond with conditions like parental custody, no leaving ERAF County without permission avoiding drugs and alcohol and notifying probation of any changes.

13:32.154 --> 13:45.373
[SPEAKER_00]: On June 21st, 2022, there was a petition to transfer this case to adult court, which was served July 28, 2022.

13:45.573 --> 14:02.670
[SPEAKER_00]: the jurisdiction after a hearing, and the factors that were went through was his sophistication weighed against transfer, but history, public protection, and low rehab prospects favored this transfer to adult court.

14:03.391 --> 14:14.922
[SPEAKER_00]: The judge noted that juvenile facilities wouldn't rehabilitate

14:16.336 --> 14:31.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeff Ford is September 22nd, 2022, grand jury and diets on nine counts of possession with intent to promote March 27th, 2023 at age 17, Bradley pleads guilty, no deal, open plea hoping for leniency.

14:31.962 --> 14:43.336
[SPEAKER_01]: May 16, 2023, the Punishment Hearing, Testimonists from Lanier, Hickey, Evidence, Text, Jeannie, Parameter, Stuart Ham, who feared Bradley's charisma.

14:43.937 --> 14:58.375
[SPEAKER_01]: The therapist, Sarah Trevino, Judd, Jason Cashin, reviews the pre-sense investigation, and 40-plus minutes of videos, sentencing to 80 years for consecutive 20-year terms.

14:58.355 --> 15:10.211
[SPEAKER_01]: Plus, minimum 40 years of parole, plus provided term fine community service lifetime registration as a sex offender and, quote, significant depravity.

15:10.231 --> 15:12.955
[SPEAKER_01]: He said Bradley fostered.

15:13.916 --> 15:17.181
[SPEAKER_00]: So appeals followed November 2, 2023.

15:18.262 --> 15:20.846
[SPEAKER_00]: Direct appeal was dismissed.

15:21.607 --> 15:25.392
[SPEAKER_00]: Then in 2024, a habeas petition

15:25.844 --> 15:28.828
[SPEAKER_00]: that Bradley received an effective counsel.

15:29.789 --> 15:39.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Lawyer Lucas Lawrence didn't get a forensic psychovaluation and Dr. Mario's reports to just rehab potential with treatment.

15:40.602 --> 15:43.446
[SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy to me, the doctor.

15:43.506 --> 15:55.581
[SPEAKER_00]: She stated that I believe because he was only 15 or 17 and there was a chance for rehabilitation, but I don't even see how you could rehabilitate a mind

15:57.198 --> 16:00.783
[SPEAKER_00]: been like that for all those years.

16:01.343 --> 16:02.084
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I agree.

16:02.345 --> 16:14.360
[SPEAKER_01]: And as we'll get into some of this paperwork, we'll also find out that this counselor that that was given some of this investigation, she had only been a counselor for a very small amount of time.

16:14.561 --> 16:27.137
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the paperwork on some of these appeals, she was clearly unaware of some of the intensity of the crimes and the photos and the actions that he was

16:27.421 --> 16:38.416
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like she just thought he was this young kid who maybe had some child porn images on his devices.

16:38.436 --> 16:40.518
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really what she thought.

16:40.659 --> 16:42.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you would think we talked about this.

16:42.741 --> 16:47.067
[SPEAKER_01]: You would think somebody investigating somebody that got this amount of time.

16:47.907 --> 16:51.152
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the first thing they would do would be go through the evidence pack.

16:51.172 --> 16:54.417
[SPEAKER_01]: It's see exactly what they're doing with before they even walk into the room.

16:54.858 --> 17:00.607
[SPEAKER_01]: They need to know the answers to the questions that they're going to be, you know, asking before they just like a lawyer would.

17:01.969 --> 17:02.350
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

17:03.531 --> 17:07.798
[SPEAKER_00]: So parole was denied on May 29, 2025.

17:07.838 --> 17:13.527
[SPEAKER_00]: His next review hearing is in May of 2026.

17:14.063 --> 17:19.628
[SPEAKER_00]: And Bradley is at a stale unit in Huntsville, Texas.

17:20.208 --> 17:22.150
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, that's Alabama in it.

17:22.170 --> 17:23.191
[SPEAKER_00]: Huntsville, Alabama.

17:23.211 --> 17:23.612
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, ma'am.

17:24.332 --> 17:31.018
[SPEAKER_01]: But 764 lives on with the FBI investigating over 350 subjects as of early 2026.

17:32.540 --> 17:42.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Recent developments in December of 2025, Alex Aldireh Chavez, a San Antonio based leader of Offshoot 8884.

17:42.008 --> 17:46.554
[SPEAKER_01]: Pledded guilty to a racketeering and child exploitation charges.

17:47.095 --> 17:50.760
[SPEAKER_01]: The DOJ has charged at least 37 people tied to these networks.

17:51.301 --> 17:55.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the human cost, let's hear from the victims in the parents.

17:55.928 --> 18:06.442
[SPEAKER_00]: One heartbreaking story, Colby and Leslie Taylor's 13-year-old son Jay, co-host into suicide in 2022 in which he livestreamed.

18:07.324 --> 18:09.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Colby told ABC News,

18:10.173 --> 18:24.722
[SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't live with myself for not making this push now, making it public, because it's modern day terrorism, in quote, they waited three years for justice pushing platforms and Congress to act.

18:25.343 --> 18:38.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Another parent, Cristina, spoke to the BBC about her teenage daughter, quote, "'My daughter stopped sleeping, she stopped eating, as a mum I felt alone, I was scared, I was helpless and hopeless.'"

18:38.645 --> 18:50.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Unquote, she added, "'I watched my mother get diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and fight for her life and it was not as hard to watch it as it was to watch my daughter deteriorate.'"

18:50.605 --> 18:59.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Christina tried getting her to block them, but I was just, I was not seeing the level of the influence that was already there and the level of fear.

19:00.077 --> 19:05.925
[SPEAKER_01]: They absolutely just beat her down to make her feel she is absolutely nothing without them or with them.

19:06.766 --> 19:16.579
[SPEAKER_00]: A Canadian father recently lost his 15-year-old daughter to suicide after she was exploited by the group for at least two years.

19:17.065 --> 19:21.790
[SPEAKER_00]: Victims often described building trust first, then exploitation.

19:22.510 --> 19:35.483
[SPEAKER_00]: One survivor in an FBI PSA noted predators, build trust with their victims, and later co-host him into sharing personal information and explicit pictures and videos.

19:36.404 --> 19:46.313
[SPEAKER_00]: Another from a CBC report, co-host into self-mutilation and sexual abuse, filling trapped is really a good article

19:47.373 --> 19:57.669
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, in one case, a mother said of her daughter, who was targeted at age 15, amid anxiety and depression, they wanted her to take her life, and she was terrified.

19:58.210 --> 20:01.154
[SPEAKER_01]: These stories highlight why awareness is key.

20:01.615 --> 20:09.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Parents watch for the signs, sudden withdrawal, mood swings, unexplained injuries like pattern cuts on their thighs or arms,

20:09.968 --> 20:23.910
[SPEAKER_01]: neglected appearance, changes in eating and sleeping, pets acting fearful, red flag online, obsessions with a friend or group, secretive device use, interest in gore or extreme content.

20:24.751 --> 20:35.668
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's platforms, our discord, telegram, robelook, snapchat, Instagram, kick, where predators are posing as peers.

20:36.269 --> 20:38.052
[SPEAKER_00]: They start friendly and then they

20:38.369 --> 20:39.872
[SPEAKER_00]: black milk for these things.

20:39.932 --> 20:50.993
[SPEAKER_00]: They call tributes, which is essentially cell farm or CSAM or animal crude cruelty pictures, photos, videos, live streams.

20:51.894 --> 21:01.913
[SPEAKER_00]: And what they do is they desensitize their victims are with all of this violent content.

21:02.399 --> 21:29.082
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, on devices, check for those apps, servers with 764 or symbols, black and white aesthetics, satanic slash neo Nazi icons, scan chats for strangers, coded terms like cut signs or tributes, demands for photos, galleries of self-harm images, and use parental controls, monitor history, don't spy, build trust through talks, and spy.

21:29.062 --> 21:56.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and inspired for sure now and all of them so resources that helped us, you know, come with this episode was the FBI parents guide the National Center for missing and exploited children cyber tip line DHS is no to protect now if you Thank you see activity or suspicious activity you need to report it immediately

21:57.665 --> 22:10.645
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really important to be vigilant about these things, listeners, because it's literally mind-blowing how these kids that are being brainwashed.

22:10.665 --> 22:15.914
[SPEAKER_01]: The time limit, it's literally could be days or a week or just a couple of weeks.

22:15.974 --> 22:19.339
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we've seen some longer, but it's just happening so fast.

22:19.519 --> 22:20.601
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple of hours.

22:20.665 --> 22:39.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've seen that too, I mean, when the only thing that kids are having to do is be online and that's their whole world online for some reason, they're thinking that that's the actual world outside and that's how I think it's being portrayed in their own, you know, undeveloped minds.

22:39.937 --> 22:46.268
[SPEAKER_01]: We wanted to tell you a couple of the things that we heard we heard on

22:46.248 --> 22:57.362
[SPEAKER_01]: which is named Sean Ryan's podcast, they talked about it, but they talked about too, but they there was videos of they had talked to kid into pouring gas on himself and burning itself.

22:58.323 --> 23:03.069
[SPEAKER_01]: There was videos of young men killing elderly women.

23:03.850 --> 23:11.479
[SPEAKER_01]: There was they located an image that depicted an

23:12.050 --> 23:17.437
[SPEAKER_01]: They located in several images of I Heart C.P.764, which we talked about.

23:21.602 --> 23:38.884
[SPEAKER_00]: With multiple victims carving the stuff that they tell them into their bodies, there was even a 15-year-old girl who had carved stuff into her private area as like so deep that she had to go to the hospital.

23:38.864 --> 24:01.193
[SPEAKER_01]: yeah her her interviews out there and you can find it and they also talked her into she also had a plan i didn't mean to skip around right there but she had a plan that she was actually going to kill her mother and they talked her into killing her cat but she ended up chopping her hamster up and eating that the dead hamster and they also told her i mean they really had this poor little girl brainwashed

24:01.763 --> 24:08.191
[SPEAKER_01]: They talked her into getting into the bathtub and cutting herself until the water was literally red with blood.

24:08.611 --> 24:16.421
[SPEAKER_01]: There was also images of oral sex occurring where young females performing oral sex on post-previous and penises.

24:16.801 --> 24:25.932
[SPEAKER_01]: There was images of multiple, people, some adults, and some children, and some children of multiple children all unclothed engaging in sexual acts.

24:27.454 --> 24:28.075
[SPEAKER_00]: The disgusting.

24:28.426 --> 24:31.711
[SPEAKER_01]: There was an image found of an infant being choked by an adult.

24:33.694 --> 24:40.465
[SPEAKER_01]: There was also another image of a crying baby with a pillow over the baby's head and being stood on.

24:40.825 --> 24:47.275
[SPEAKER_01]: There was videos of an adult male smoking heroin and doing it for this Brad 764.

24:48.237 --> 24:54.687
[SPEAKER_01]: Also besides all the images that we've already talked about, there were images of

24:56.354 --> 25:12.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Pre-pubescent, teens, yeah, there was kids that haven't even reached puberty yet being slapped, stomped, smacked, hung from ceilings, I mean, it's just some super violent shit, man.

25:11.997 --> 25:18.986
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, this dude's even lucky that he got an appeal trial or a, you know, like a second chance.

25:19.587 --> 25:21.009
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what he was trying to get.

25:21.449 --> 25:28.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Because once you plead guilty to something, you can't really, you can't really bitch about your counsel being ineffective.

25:28.919 --> 25:33.304
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, counsel didn't say, you know, go ahead and plead guilty.

25:33.344 --> 25:35.948
[SPEAKER_01]: You plead guilty and you admit to all them crimes.

25:36.028 --> 25:37.650
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, what you get is what you get.

25:38.305 --> 25:51.532
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Bradley basically threw himself at the court's mercy because there was so much evidence stacked against him of all these things he did that was the right choice and my view.

25:51.572 --> 25:57.765
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he didn't cost everybody for a trial or this and that and he got a pretty severe punishment.

25:57.847 --> 25:58.588
[SPEAKER_01]: He sure did.

25:58.608 --> 26:10.845
[SPEAKER_01]: Now Bradley's story is that he was from bully team to court leader and he thinks that shows how trauma unchecked access to the internet, devastate.

26:11.606 --> 26:12.247
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody.

26:12.567 --> 26:12.948
[SPEAKER_01]: It does.

26:12.988 --> 26:13.549
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody.

26:13.909 --> 26:20.378
[SPEAKER_01]: But knowledge empowers and that's why we're here at 69 South trying to give you a little bit of knowledge, man.

26:21.185 --> 26:25.792
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes just take a little bit of time out from your day, instead of giving your kids a taboo.

26:25.832 --> 26:26.894
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know it's so easy.

26:26.954 --> 26:31.260
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not dogging anybody at all, just make sure you're watching what your kids are doing.

26:31.300 --> 26:34.545
[SPEAKER_01]: Make sure the messages are off if you are going to let them play these games.

26:34.946 --> 26:39.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Make sure it's not connected to the internet, double check, triple check, everything.

26:40.174 --> 26:42.537
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, I really wonder if this dude was even bullied.

26:43.058 --> 26:45.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, after going through these court transcripts,

26:46.396 --> 27:13.382
[SPEAKER_01]: of how heinous these things were yeah and how he he he tried to say that he was running all this material and doing all these things for the gratification and to keep the attention of the people in the calm the community as it's called and I kind of think that's bullshit myself I I get that he got this grandiose feeling of being the quote king of 764 and all that shit but

27:13.362 --> 27:23.398
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't see how somebody could enjoy the pain on others just to get notoriety from a couple other weirdos on the internet.

27:24.160 --> 27:25.261
[SPEAKER_00]: I completely agree.

27:26.143 --> 27:31.692
[SPEAKER_01]: We support you here at 69th South and if you'd like to support us and help us keep the lights on the studio go to.

27:31.857 --> 27:44.725
[SPEAKER_00]: We have some really good episodes coming up, but like I said, until then, have a good day.

27:45.006 --> 27:46.930
[SPEAKER_01]: Good evening.
