Mom Goes UNDERCOVER As Her 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER to CATCH...

We would create a fictitious 15 year old girl complete with the believable social media identity put her online and document how long it would Take for a predator to approach her What's up guys, it's me Ali today We're gonna be looking at a video of a mother who disguised herself as our own daughter to see the dangers of social media to See what it actually looks like and the dangers It's actually caught in camera before we get into the video guys. Please follow me on my social I'll put the link of the original video in description. So let's watch it I never thought would be chasing child predator It was two years ago when our team intercepted conversations between a 12 year old girl and a 40 year old pet of 40. Yeah What? This already feels like a movie but guys, it's real. Let's watch file He wasn't just talking to her. He was I absolutely love your body and I want you to send me Abusing her coercing her collecting images and videos and no one in her life her parents sixth grade teacher her friends Knew what was happening? I Have a sixth grader of my own. I have three kids actually, but you don't have to be a parent to be devastated by this. I Work for a tech company that uses artificial intelligence to detect issues like grooming and sexual predation and this is something we see constantly These abuses are occurring quietly and mostly go unreported and we want parents to know exactly what we know about what happens online so we made a plan a Man has been arrested for allegedly raping Instagram has become the number one Firsthand the predatory symbiotic relationship that exists between Instagram and snapchat We would create a fictitious 15 year old girl complete with a believable social media identity Put her online and document how long it would take for a predator to approach her. That's a smart move I'll give you a hundred points for that. That's a smart move because I think the predator will be caught Yes, I wonder how you guys are gonna do it But we knew we couldn't use an actual teenager. It would have to be someone on our team I'm 37, but our graphic designers assured me that with the wonders of photo manipulation They could magically make me look over two decades younger two decades younger. That's like 17 Don't I just love technology? Let's watch We bought clothes and accessories studied body language and facial expressions We methodically covered and edited signs of aging wrinkles weight shifts and stretch marks What that actually looks like a 17 year old they use Photoshop to make her look like a 17 year old. I think this is amazing I think this is creative Meanwhile coordinated with federal state and local law enforcement Then we built a story around her a history a family a social circle movie was born in 2004 2004 that's like my little sister. I don't want my little sister talking to people who are over 18 I don't what are they talking about? No one had to talk to 30 year old. I'm not even yet 30. I mean And as a sophomore who recently moved to Indiana We created multiple online accounts for Libby prominently displayed her age and posted typical teen content We even created virtual friends for Libby who would comment on her posts With everything in place. We would launch the project give it a few months and see if anyone would buy it So we hit the button and Libby went live This feels like a movie Within the first hour of posting on Libby's accounts seven adult men contacted her seven how how Do these people get like notifications that there's an account of a kid that has been created? I don't know. Where do this seven people just come from randomly? I don't get it The conversations ranged in severity from making sexual comments to sharing and requesting explicit photos and videos to manipulation and threats The onslaught was so massive it took five of us playing Libby full-time to keep up We decided to move off-site where we could scale up the operation and gather as much information and evidence as possible Since Libby is 15 men might try to falsely justify their actions towards her because of her proximity to adulthood When parents question, where's the bar? Would a 13 year old face the same barrage of predators a 12 year old? How young could it possibly go 12 years? So now this is phase two. They're scaling down from 15 to 12 Let's see if it's gonna be any different and if it doesn't We have a way bigger problem than we think the graphics team transformed me Whoa, this is actually her this looks like a younger picture of her This is amazing Into 11 year bailey is afraid of the dark. She hasn't had her first crush yet. She's still prepubescent A parent might assume bailey would be insulated from any sort of predatory attack We launched our 11 year old persona online for 44 and go profile photo To the p.m One minute and seven seconds we have a message request one minute Seven seconds after launching we have one message request. Do these guys get notified by instagram or what? Some more requests just came in how much time 40 seconds. Yeah You go to the profile, you know that that is a child They're probably asking how old are you because they already know that whatever they're doing is illegal It also says in the profile that the child is in sixth grade exactly another one It's just lighting up like the inbox is just boom. Boom. Boom So guys, I won't show you all the text messages because some of them are quite disturbing But you can check them in the link in description An incoming video call in less than five minutes What do you mean don't be shy that is so creepy They all say don't be shy Few parents know just how dangerous these platforms are for so many kids Okay, listen, I think when parents feel like the kid is ready They should be able to monitor their social media accounts I mean you can use snapchat and instagram, but they should be able to monitor just to make sure you know The kids are safe. So we brought some on sites they could see for themselves 11 year old bailey's persona was approached with an even more disturbing level of manipulation and requests I love your pictures on here. Does your mom and dad let you have a boyfriend yet? She's 11 for god's sake 11 years old While the majority of the abuse happened from a distance our child profiles also receive requests to meet up in person Especially our 15 year old persona. Why would you want to meet a 15 year old? What do you want to talk about 28 year old keith was relentless He took no issue with liby's age he shared explicit videos of himself He treated the virginity What I don't like that emoji already that looks so disgusting saying that to a 15 year old that is so Disgusting of an underage girl as a prize to be stolen It was a tough decision But if keith wanted to meet liby in person, we would let him wow, they would actually make her meet him This is Really interesting. They are probably gonna come with some policemen some hidden cameras some microphones We synced up with our law enforcement contacts and within 24 hours, we were on the ground and ready to meet We already had evidence of what he had done online. We were willing to carry things out in real life We knew 37 year old me attempting to pass for 15 year old liby would be a challenge very challenging But I would wear a hat a lot of makeup a big sweatshirt and see if he showed up. Okay If this guy shows up is definitely gonna end behind bar So nervous watching this right now I wonder why they would do that. Not the guys. I mean This man, why would he meet a 15 year old in the first place? And this is so creepy Yeah Wait, so do you want to go for a walk first? Yeah It's like the sixth time he's saying let's go upstairs and talk. What are you guys going to talk about? Are you going to talk about cartoons and kid shows or what exactly you guys want to talk about because I don't get it Are you okay with me being 15? You must have died Our camera person, right? Are you hungry? This is so disturbing to watch Stop trying to dodge it. Let's go upstairs. This guy is just so Unbelievable cyber tips coming in from the national center for missing and exploit bark turns over these potential child predators to the national center for Missing and exploited children using the app has led to arrests like this one in florida last year So bark is basically an app that helps families manage and protect the children's online lives They monitor social media apps just to make sure our kids are safe. You can check it out link on the description The brutal reality is that a predator doesn't have to be in the same room building or even country to abuse a child Libby and bailey may not be real but they represent countless children who are being sexually and psychologically abused both online and in real life I think about how I would have felt as a young impressionable child I would have kept the abuses to myself for fear of being shamed and blamed. I would have suffered with it secretly and quietly Hi, did you have a good day? Yeah Yeah, I was wondering so in two more days you're gonna come back that's right I love you, too Thank you so much guys for watching these are different type of videos because once I saw it I just felt like it's something I would like to react to and address an issue that I don't feel like many people know about so you guys make sure that your kids stay safe and Monitor what they're doing because there are predators out there who might want to lure them into doing dangerous stuff If you want to check the full video link, it's on description. It's been your boy ali and for now, please
