RCMP reminds Canadians about violent online groups targeting youth
The RCMP National Security Program is working with the National Child Exploitation Crime Centre to protect youth from the threat of violent online groups. These online groups have ties to known Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremist (IMVE) entities and are targeting youth online with the intention of getting them to record or live-stream acts of self-harm, suicide, animal torture and/or produce child sexual abuse material.
Some of the largest sub-groups are known as: CVLT, Court, Kaskar, Harm Nation, Leak Society, 7997, 8884, 2992, 6996, 555, Slit Town, 545, 404, NMK, 303, and H3ll. Most concerning is the sexual exploitation, harm inflicted on children and animals, and aim to get victims to commit suicide on camera. We ask parents, guardians and adults in positions of authority to keep an eye out for indicators that a child or youth is being targeted or exploited and report the information to Cybertip.ca or your local police.
