72 - "764"

A Texas teen created 764—an online predator ring hidden inside Discord, Minecraft, and Telegram. At 15, Bradley Cadenhead used these platforms to groom minors, share violent content, and instruct others on how to control and destroy victims.

Children were coerced into self-harm, forced to carve “764” into their skin, and pushed toward livestreamed suicide. His server contained child sexual abuse material, animal torture, and blackmail schemes masked as friendship.

Craig Wetterer, forensic psychologist explains the psychological vulnerabilities exploited in these cases. Eric Zelaya, board-certified criminal defense and forensic death investigator, reveals how decentralized gang tactics have gone digital and live inside your child’s DM's.
