This is good information that all parents should read and be aware of. These types of groups can target kids anywhere in the world and unfortunately we have seen a few kids in the Central Alberta area that have been targeted. Please have a read and discuss online safety with your children.

“The Com” is a virtual network which hosts sub-groups (like 764) who glorify serious violence, cruelty, and gore.

These groups try to expose young people to violent and disturbing content to make the harmful behavior seem normal and gain influence within their online communities.
