Advocates are once again calling for social media education for parents, guardians and children after a missing 13-year-old Edmonton girl was found in ...
Shima said there are no doubt a lot of cases that have gone unreported — with the victim and parents trying to manage the situation on their own. “Snapchat and Instagram are being used quite extensively for this type of activity at the moment. “For girls, it happens a little bit slower,” Sauer adds. Stephen Sauer with Cybertip says generally, it’s more common for the luring and sexual exploitation to take place entirely online. like Road Blocks or Minecraft. “What we’re seeing is they believe they’re in a relationship with a similarly-aged peer and that what is happening to them is part of a normal relationship with that person. We are seeing an unprecedented number of kids being lured or groomed. “We’re aware of children who are sending images back and forth to each other but they don’t recognize and realize that those images then become part of potentially the web and that those images can be passed on and that can be really traumatizing for them,” she says. They believe the two met online. A 41-year-old man is in custody and will be facing charges of child luring. “They should be having regular, ongoing conversations with their kids about technology, understanding a little bit more about that technology, and giving their kids the tools to understand where there’s red-flag behaviour,” Sauer says. “This is a really significant problem and I think over the last couple of years — through COVID and through children and teens having more access to computers and online usage and parents not necessarily being on top of this all the time — this has opened up a gateway for child predators in a way we’ve never seen before.”
Noah Madrano, 41, will appear in U.S. court for arraignment this week, now facing charges of rape, kidnapping in addition to child luring, police say.
“Unfortunately, there are predators in this world that are tracking our children and will stop at nothing to commit crimes like this.” Once an abuser gets one photo, they can use that to blackmail the victim for more. While many channels can be used for luring, Sauer points to Instagram and Snapchat as where most of the activity occurs. “At that time, police had no evidence to suggest that the youth was with anyone, which is why we stated that we did not suspect any foul play. Abbotsford, B.C. police said they were contacted by Edmonton police on July 1 with information that the missing girl may have been at a fast-food restaurant in Abbotsford. Police went to the restaurant and obtained CCTV footage that showed the girl and suspect had been in the restaurant, but they were gone by the time police arrived. Foul play in relation to this missing person case meant that police did not suspect she was with anyone or gone anywhere outside of the city. At the same time, potential offenders are realizing they have unfettered access to children online. Obviously, they were talking to me a lot more than I was telling people.” They could also be more secretive, closing their doors or hiding their phones when a parent is around. “I think that their lack of communication was warranted given the amount of work they were doing in the background. It’s not clear how the suspect and girl crossed the border. Edmonton police say he is also facing a charge of child luring.
