Not nearly enough.
I mean, I could show you one group that Sentinel Foundation and I, which I'll explain how I even got involved in Sentinel Foundation in a minute.
I can go in one of those groups and there's more than 450 targets in that group alone.
I mean, it's...
And more needs to be done from law enforcement.
But I understand that there's difficulty because it's not like we're going after the cartel where there's a ringleader and then you can arrest all the guys underneath them.
They're all in the same town or they might get caught together.
These guys are from all over the country, some of them international, and it's going to be one at a time, you know, and they don't use their real names.
They don't use real photos of themselves.
They go by aliases.
and um and you know it's it's really uh it's very sad and uh but the way to tackle this issue is not by arresting one guy at a time because the groups these groups are just massively getting larger and larger and larger and a new offshoot comes out the second one disappears
What happens is, in my experience, parents being aware of the issue, knowing what it is, knowing what to look for on their children's devices, that's going to cause a lot more impact and fix this problem or at least make a huge dent in this problem rather than making the total of 30 arrests that have happened and the five on name, maybe it's a total of 35 arrests since the inception a couple of years ago.
I think alerting parents is going to do a way bigger job
Yeah, well, I think it's like three or four years.
Don't quote me on that.
But not 3,000 people.
It should be way more than that.
It should be way more than that.
But it's not.
And these guys aren't some crazy hackers.
