14-year-old boy died after being “sextorted” by ‘girl’ online
Even so, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to be in all places at once. Children and young teens can be susceptible to dangerous viral trends, not to mention fraudsters and scam artists.
The mother of Caleb Morgan knows this only too well.
On June 10, Caleb, of El Dorado, Kansas, started up a conversation with what he believed to be a “14-year-old girl” on TikTok, with the chat then moving to Snapchat.
As per the Daily Mail, Caleb’s mother, Morgan, alleges the other person sent compromising images of ‘herself’ to Caleb, who then sent pictures of himself in return.
Things then took a turn for the ominous, with the “girl” in question demanding that Caleb send large amounts of cash in exchange for not leaking his photos. According to Morgan, the stranger “made him feel like his life was over as he had made this mistake”.
Caleb took his own life by shooting himself with a gun at his family home.
