Reported in Pennsylvania Newsweek and the Philadelphia Inquirer have covered a case where a Tier 1 registered sex offender became a parent through surrogacy.

Pennsylvania lawmakers say a legal loophole allows people, even those convicted of crimes against children, to gain legal parentage through prebirth parentage orders, skipping the background checks required in adoption.

A bill is now being introduced to close this gap and ensure all cases undergo proper vetting for child safety.

🚨 A dangerous online network known as 764 is raising serious concerns about the safety of children and vulnerable young people.

Federal authorities have warned that groups like these can use manipulation, blackmail, threats, and coercion to exploit victims and push them toward self-harm, violence, or other dangerous situations.

This isn’t just about one app or one online community. It highlights how easily vulnerable young people can be exposed to dangerous individuals through the internet sometimes from the safety of their own homes.

Parents should know who their children are communicating with, which platforms they’re using, and what online communities they’re participating in. Digital safety has become an essential part of protecting kids.

Keeping children safe from online exploitation takes more than one parent it requires families, communities, platforms, and authorities working together.
