FBI: Online extremists coercing North Carolina children to self-harm, commit other violence

The FBI warns that nihilistic violent extremism (NVE) groups are targeting North Carolina children online, coercing them to self-harm or commit violence. These groups, originating from the '764' faction in 2021, exploit victims through video games and chatrooms, using blackmail and live-streaming to incite harm. FBI Charlotte reports 350 nationwide cases, urging parents to monitor children's online interactions.
