This could have easily been my reality …. My 15 year old son was also taken in by this scheme. He and Walker sound like they fit the same description…. Football, hunting, family, Faith…. On the night of January 17th of this year he came to me in tears and said “Mom, help… I’ve really messed up. He repented and handed me his phone.” I was shocked … but we kept calm. I could tell how scared he was … I assured him that these were scams and they weren’t going to ruin his life….but even I was a little nervous. This episode brought me to tears thinking just how close we were to this reality. I applaud Brian for standing up and talking about it. I did listen to this episode with my son, and tearfully thanked him for coming to me!
I understand your fear. Hear me now, these scammers pray on your fear. I have studied these people. They are lowlife criminals who are masters of their craft, atleast most of them are. They pray on fear, and all they want is cash. Block them and ignore them, they will quickly find someone else who is willing to give them what they desire.
I have been called all sorts of names because I never allowed my kids phones until they are 18 and can buy their own. I will NEVER regret that I don't plan on changing my mind with my younger kids.
Bravo. My daughter got a smart phone when she was about 12 I never would have imagined something like this happening to her . But it could have. Actually a dear friend’s son was groomed by a predator through snapchat and he went through a world of pain .
My daughter thought I as the worst in the world because we wouldn’t let her have an iPhone until college. She’s 33 now and I still think it was a good idea. We had a family computer in the living room only
You should, take away their phones! So many young moms are not allowing the children to have phones until they're old enough! That's why we have so much violence in schools because the kids can't live without their phones and they're continually causing problems and Tantrums in the classrooms! It's hard to go against the grain but it'll be so worth it
You know, the younger Generations causing fear about the environment and global warming and yet so many of the young families are buying organic we're a grass-fed meats for certain nutritional vitamins or whatever and yet the toxicity of cell phones is a constant in their lives. I remember I was so shocked years and years ago in the 90s where I was at a restaurant and one little kid was sitting in front of video game player during dinner, I thought that was horrible! And yet now it's the norm?! Funny how our culture has so much changed.
The word says be wise but not fearful. If your born again, declare the word over your family. Psalm 91 is good. The blood of Jesus is over your family. Be aware of what they watch, listen to and partake in. The devil is on the rampage to destroy our youth. Get informed and learn warfare. Ephesians 6:12.
Parents, please let your kids know that nothing is ever so shameful, embarrassing, or bad that you can't take it to the Lord and handle it together as a family with Him. God knows all our mistakes. It's all part of growing up. Christ didn't die on the Cross for nothing.
I know, and I will definitely get my money's worth out of that sacrifice before I take the old dirt nap. Jesus might need to get crucified again to cover me. Anyway, it's good that we aren't responsible for our actions.
This Father is so brave and a good dad. Words can't express how sorry I am for you and your family's loss. Sir, if you read this I want you to know that you've certainly put this on my heart to follow your advice going forward on dealing with predators on line that want to harm our babies. I family and I send our love to you and yours. God bless your beloved son and you all.
*Johnsonspy* , I really admire how you stay focused and always remember there are victims, real people, losing their money and even killing themselves because they are ashamed at falling for these scams. God bless you and keep you,Damn it feels good when you expose these guys, for some reason, other UA-camrs are nervous to do so. You're the king!
I cant thank *Johnsonspy* enough for their unwavering support throughout the entire process. They guided me with compassion and professionalism, making the resolution of my sextortion case much easier.
I'm a victim of sextortion, I never thought I'd be a victim. I downloaded a dating site, and I found myself in this fiasco. I wanted to report to FBI that I remembered there was a law that such a pervert attitude should be stopped. So I hired Brian, who helped me cleared my private photos n video from them
My heart dances with happiness and gratitude for the incredible compassion and empathy shown by *Johnsonspy* during my sextortion ordeal. Their unwavering commitment to ensuring my well-being and providing a safe haven has brought immense joy into my life. Thank you, Johnson, for being my rock and infusing my world with happiness.

Wow!!! I had no idea this was happening! I watched this with my 17 year old daughter and she was shocked too! Thank you for bringing this up, Allie!! God Bless this family and my prayers are with them!
What a brave man, to have suffered so much but works to help protect others. I am so so sorry this happened to Walker and his family. I hope they are comforted and find peace.
This was devastating. My heart breaks for this family. I have a teen daughter who thinks mom and dad are crazy for being concerned about her phone and who she’s talking to. She will be listening to this video. So tragic and I’ll be praying for this family. 😢
Yeah, technology can be great and horrible. My mom sent me this video after seeing that I somehow got added to a... let's just say not great groupchat. So scary.
@@Maplee.MP3 you’re right, it can be both great and scary! It’s just one of those things that you have to be smart with and listen to the warning signs. If anything, I’d say remember that your parents love you when they seem concerned about things. I promise we aren’t trying to destroy your life! 😉 This is a hard time to navigate, both for kids and for parents. Thank you for your comment, Rose Petal! ❤️
@@leonelakebi7830 The days of a high trust society are over. If your child grew up in the jungle it would never be too early to train them about snakes, spiders and other wild animals. Well guess what our once civilized society is now a jungle.
Thank you for sharing this! I wish I had only known about it a couple of months ago. This unfortunately happened to my son as well. Thank the Lord we had suspicions and he confessed when we questioned him. So far the threats were empty, so let your kids know that usually nothing happens, don’t give the perpetrator money, they just keep asking for more! My heart breaks for this family and I feel so lucky that our situation didn’t end this way. It’s hard for parents to share this because it’s a huge embarrassment for these kids that fell for these traps. Love your kids, protect them, pray for them.
Please please please a hundred thousand pleases be watchful of your teens time on their unnecessarily "needed" device. My daughter was a victim of an Instagram sextortion that could have been the death of her. These predators took her money but God intervened. I am so devastated for this family!! I pray everyone takes heed. When we found out about her dealings authorities were contacted but they are unable to track these criminals. I hate hearing this. They literally stated those EXACT words to my daughter!! 😢
Thank you Allie Beth! I’ve been a listener for the last 3 years. I can relate to Brian because we lost our 16 year old daughter, Emma Claire, to suicide 20 months ago. We have to realize the dangers of social media. I wish I had realized the extent of the dangers before I lost my daughter. I truly appreciate Brian speaking out the way he is. Hugs and Prayers.
OMG, this is so horrible 😢 As a father, I couldn't imagine the pain the whole family felt and what Walker must have gone through. God bless them and Walker!
Honestly, we need more people like you. If we had a group of people like you, we could quell the whole loss in no time. I love that you help victims, you can save lives real time like you do, it makes me very satisfied, thank you for giving me my life back nck mythss1
My daughter was a victim of this as well. A dad in our community came to my house and told me that my daughter had sexted his son. I was horrified and yet thankful for the dad letting me know Thankfully she told me about an older man threatened to ruin her life if she didn't do what he said and i got on her cellphone and texted that i was her mom and if he contacted her again I would go to the police and he never contacted her again. This is a terrible shameful thing. Im so thankful that years later she is doing good. I had pulled her from school and homeschooled her and we read a lot of the bible and prayed through it all because she was suicidal as well. She was introduced to witchcraft at school. What a big mess. My youngest daughter got introduced to sexting in school. We homeschooled her until a family health crisis happened and she moved in with her dad and the Dallas school got her right back into it. Terrible things happened but thankfully she was rescued by God Himself last year. I hate what's happening to our children. Praying for the rescue of our children and our nation in the mighty name of Jesus. Im so very sorry for your loss 💔💔💔💔
@@shirleyjames2448 she was angry and suicidal. I pulled her out of school and I began each day with her listening to faith teaching while she was still in bed. Then I sat with her and made her read the bible out loud. Then her declarations ( I love my life. I am the righteousness of God in Christ etc) then we prayed together then we listened to faith teaching again together. Then we did ace homeschool. It took a long time and I prayed for her and with her constantly. I loved her and did fun things in between homeschool. I took away her phone too. I had no control over her at her dad's house but trusted God. She eventually drew a red line instead of cutting herself when stressed. Then finally learned to pray when stressed instead of cutting or drawing a cutting. We celebrated every accomplishment and we prayed over any defeat. There were horrible days at first but now she is a wonderful mom to her baby girl and she still prays through everything. GOD is faithful. Never give up!
Thank you so much for allowing this father share his story on your show...I am so heartbroken for this family. I had no clue this was a thing. Wow anyone could be in their shoes...
This is happening all over the country. My 17 yr old grandson shot himself because of this July of 2022. Please talk to your children and let them know about this.
God bless this family. So thankful he is sounding this alarm. But children as young as 6, especially boys, are being exposed to pornography on the internet. No child needs a phone in their room in the evening. That used to be prime family time, Lord please help us! No child should have their phone in their room overnight. If for no other reason than some children are more disrupted by the emf from a phone, or device. Please, parents, teach your children, I know it is hard to do without spoiling some of their innocence, but this is tragic. God bless families.
Also, no kid needs a TV in their room. Social isolation is not a good thing. Neither is allowing a toddler to watch Disney’s The Lion King (original animation) 15 times as she sits in her bedroom and is old enough to hit the play button. True story, she ran screaming in terror from my brother-in-law’s black standard poodle cross when he visited because she thought the dog was an evil hyena from the Lion King. Her parents said she had watched the movie at least 15 times. She may die going up to a friendly cougar in the wild to hug it.
What a heartbreaking tragedy! I am thankful that this grieving father has the courage to speak out and to be so open and vulnerable. May God continue to comfort and heal this family.
This happened to someone in my family as a teen. Their picture was sent to a couple family members (the exploiters were asking for $5000) and thankfully they told their parents right away. It was humiliating for them, but they made it through a TERRIFYING situation.
My son fell for this about 6 or 7 years ago. Luckily, he didn't go along with their threats. He just stopped responding. I only know about it because he had been on my computer using his e-mail, and as a nosey, protective mom, I snooped around his email account and read some conversations had been having.
Brian, thank you so much for sharing. I have 4 children, ages 8 and under. I will never forget this story. I will be praying for you, your wife, and your whole family.
Words fall short in expressing my gratitude to *Brian hacks online* for their unwavering support and expertise during my sextortion case.

I am a Marriage and Family therapist, who work with adolescents and their families! We are seeing more and more of these predators, ruining the lives of innocent children! We see this almost on a daily basis and are trying helping kids through their shame and guilt, for what they did in order to obtain drugs are a relationship with someone that they thought was a real person on the other side, who cared about them! Unfortunately, some kids like Mr. Montgomerys son, didn’t feel there’s any way out of it 💔💔 we need to be praying for our children and all children in our society, as there is a demonic attack on their innocence and their lives! My heart and prayers go out to his family, and I am thankful that he is strong and courageous, taking a stand, and speaking out against this evil! 🙏🙏✝️🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing the story of your son Walker, I cannot imagine how hard it is to live something like this and my heart breaks thinking about the fear and shame Walker faced, he was just four years younger than me and anyone really can go through this. It just hurts more that he was so young and that it happened all in a night. Sending prayers and strength❤️

How sad 😔 I just came across this and didn't know this was a thing. I have a 17 year old and I will be having a conversation with him when he gets home from school. Thank you for this information. God bless you!
This breaks my heart...my condolences to you and your family. It's horrible that your son lost his life in this way, your son is now saving lives through you warning others about what is going with social media. May God have mercy on our children...this is so evil.
After the intimate video call was recorded without my knowledge, I feared the material would be used against me. Nck mythss1 acted swiftly, erasing the unauthorized recording and reinforcing my privacy settings.
Just had a conversation with my kids thanks to this show , but it goes back to what my dad told me back in the 90’s don’t put anything in writing you don’t want others to read ! I add to that , don’t send a text , pic , video , or do anything live you wouldn’t want other people to see! Also, God has mercy and forgives all nothing is worth taking your life! Prayers for this family, thank you for sharing this painful story.
I have had the conversation with our 15 year old son. Thank you for educating us with this interview. Just like with Joseph who was sold to slave traders by his brothers, they meant it for evil. But God allowed it because He had plans for it to be used for good, when Joseph saved his entire family from dying of starvation through the long years of famine. As a mother, I truly understand how Walker's father would trade his place of talking to teenagers to warn them of this evil danger lurking online, to get Walker back. Walker's death is saving the lives of kids, not just in the United States, but all over the world. We are in Australia. May God bless this family.
Such a sad story. I'll be showing my teens this video and having the discussion. Side note, the Bark phone allows parents to do what they need to, to protect their kids.
My heart breaks for this family. I am thankful that they are solid in their faith, knowing that they can find at least some peace in the truth of the word. It is horrifying to see how such a good kid can be scammed like this and how fast they were able to destroy him. It is a talk people need to have with their kids but who even would have thought this was possible.
I will be showing my son this so that he can share it with his 3 children! Very important information. Thank you for sharing your story with us! It is so horrific and hard to imagine why anyone would do this to these kids!
I hated sex ed at school. I skipped it a lot and always felt uncomfortable. This is something to be done at home,where you are valued. Not at a school that's more interested in being extreme liberals, nothing worse for our kids that that.
I didn’t like sex Ed either, but most kids have to take it at some point. Let’s be honest, many parents just don’t talk to their kids about this stuff. It would be wise to incorporate this information into the sex Ed program. It would warn so many more people.
Just will him that no matter what SCAMMERS EXIST AND TECHNOLOGY IS HELPING THEM BECOME VERY CRAFTY. and that anything or anyone causes HIM to get fear and anxious, it is not of God, meaning the enemy is working to destroy him and anyone by any means. ❤ and that he can tell you ANYTHING ANYTHING no matter how shameful it may be.
I can see the pain in this poor man's face! My heart aches for him and his whole family. As Christians, we have 3 enemies....The world, the flesh, and the devil. So, you can't blame it all on the devil and you must act accordingly.
I’m so sorry for your loss. As a parent of four like yourself. My son just got a cell phone and I am grateful you are sharing your experience. I will definitely take your advice on having the phone at night.
This is so terrible. I feel like there is NO WAY you could have known. Wow… I thought I heard it all. Thank you for sharing. In your pain, you are out there protecting OUR kiddos . You are the POLAR opposite of the demons that tricked your son. May he Rest In Peace. I am praying for you and your family.
I think the important lesson here is that we can't see these things coming, so we must anticipate it and prevent it by every means necessary. That includes not giving kids phones.
I’m pregnant with my first child and with everything I’ve learned, these will be my rules: -No technology. They will not have a phone, iPad, or device until they are 18 years old. -Shared TV time, with passcodes on it so it can’t be hacked. -Filtering on the WIFI AND on me and my husbands phone, just in case. -Sleepovers with other kids ONLY if their parents follow or adhere to our rules while our child is there. We’ll be called controlling. Our child will be angry with us one day. There will be conflict, but we accept that. Knowing what we know about the very common and real dangers, I’ll never submit my innocent child to that world where they can’t navigate it properly or protect themselves. It’s easier said than done but it’s absolutely necessary.
@@rachelzuniga5300 God willing we certainly want to. It won’t be easy but watching Allies show I think it really is the only way to keep these kids safe!
They'll need a computer to do schoolwork and apply for college etc. I heavily limit technology with my kids, but know they will have to use some. Otherwise, you're throwing them to the wolves going from 0-100. There are phones that don't allow social media and internet (bark phones) and programs that allow you to restrict and monitor what your kids access online.
I teach a community parenting curriculum called The Parent Project and this subject is one of the many topics we discuss in our ten-week course. BUT, this REAL and HEARTBREAKING discussion makes this something I will drive home to my clients even more. Thanks Allie and Brian for this sobering discussion and my deepest condolences to the Montgomery family.
I hope the team that did this to this man’s son is served Gods Justice. Parents , wake up and educate your teenagers to the scams and how women can slide into young boys dms, seduce and work with evil men. It’s wicked. Praying for this family.
Shocking but as it turns out, requesting *Brian hacks online* support. During my distressing sextortion experience. Their unwavering commitment to resolving the issue and providing unwavering support has brought immense joy and relief into my life. Had no clue and was super confused. All thanks to you guys are the best ❤
This comment is meant to be an encouragement to anyone who might want to try this - I realize this is a sensitive situation where a young person has tragically died and nothing can change that. There was a parenting panel discussion at our church where the pastor's wife said she had her sons memorize passages like these as a piece of armor to safeguard their purity. I want to do this with my son. I realize things could still happen, but it is certainly a good thing to try in addition to spreading the word about this horrible scam. 9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! 11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. 12 Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes! 13 With my lips I declare all the rulesc of your mouth. 14 In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. 16 I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. Psalm 119:9-16 My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, 2 that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. 3 For the lips of a forbidden[a] woman drip honey, and her speech[b] is smoother than oil, 4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to[c] Sheol; 6 she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. 7 And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8 Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, 9 lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless, 10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, 11 and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed, 12 and you say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof! 13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors. 14 I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.” Proverbs 5:1-14
"My God, my God... WHY has thou forsaken me!???" That's all I can think of. 😔 My heart is BREAKING right now. As soon as I saw his face, I felt the huge weight of his pain. God PLEASE help this man and his family. PLEASE... hold them up with your righteous right hand and cover them with your piece and wisdom.
I'm so sorry for your family. Unfortunately, my family went through this five years and 6 months ago. We lost our beautiful 19 year old son. There are no words to describe the pain. God helping us is the only way my family is getting through this. God bless you for making people aware of this evil that is happening to our young people.keep holding onto Jesus..He is our ultimate strength. 🙏
I have no words..... May God bless you and family and keep you strong!! Ask Jesus to help you and I encourage you to accept Him in Yr life as Savoiur! He loves you and is interested in you more than you know
The message all parents should be pounding into their children’s brains over and over and over again is : “ DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE ON LINE THAT YOU DON’T KNOW!” It’s not any different then stranger danger!!! What have we always taught our children when they are out and about! Don’t talk to strangers no matter what! Run like hxll! It’s the same exact thing on the internet! No matter what they say! Just like we tell our kids if someone says well your mom told me to come get you, or I know your mom! It’s no different. This person told this boy that he knew some of his friends or wherever. Bottom line is that he did not know them!!! Oh you play football etc! Tell your kids to make their social platforms private! Your friends with the people you are friends with! Don’t be friends with people you get request from that you don’t know. Even if someone you know just became friends with them. Guess what they don’t know them either!!! DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW! No. matter how pretty they are and tell you how cute you are! You don’t know that the picture they are showing you is them! And if they are so pretty and so cute why are they having to hunt the internet for someone to talk to, that they don’t know!!! Right ! If they are so attractive why are they looking for someone to communicate with!! If they say they know your friend , really what friend ! Right!!! No wrong !!! You don’t engage!!!! Don’t talk to them! You know your friends you associate with that matter! You would know of them or about them !!! One other thing !!! Everything on the internet can be traced! Regardless of what the FBI says. Everything has a path to get to where it’s going . To connect! To email. Just like when you drive to work or school !!!! If there’s an accident you take a detour or another route ! Internet is the same way!!!! If they knew the web address is from Nigeria the right person or people can track that path! If the second boys mom this happened to contacted the police it was the perfect scenario to catch them!!! Wonder what happened!
Keep her away from the internet, I know as parents sometimes we need help to keep our kids distracted but the internet is really evil. It is the enemies plan to take our kids.
Thank you so much for running this episode and thank you so much to Brian for having the courage to push through his pain and share. I had no idea this was going on. Thank you so much for getting the word out. 💙💙💙
Allie, I’m so thankful for you and your ministry. You inspire all of us… old guy dads too. We are in a heartbreaking time culturally and it’s efforts like yours and others that make a difference. Thanks
What happened to Walker could have very well have happened to me. I’ve fallen in a similar trap and if it were not for God grace I know I would’ve responded the same way. What happened to Walker fills me with inexplicable righteous indignation.
Thank you Allie for having Brian on your show! Brian, I send my condolences to you and your entire family! Walker sounds like an amazing and precious young man. Thank-you for helping all of us parents/caregivers, even through your own unspeakable suffering 🙏🙏
Thank you Brian for sharing your story. I'm so sorry for your loss. God will use Walkers life and story to save many lives. And give you many opportunities to share the Truth about the Gospel and the battle we are in. My prayers are with you and your family.
I feel so heartbroken for families who lose a child. I have had this thought experiment before, of how my parents would answer the "who was your daughter?" question at the funeral speech. And I realized how they would have only known a short-sighted version of me. They would have said their daughter is a beautiful ballerina on a dance team - a team I quit by college because I picked up competitive weightlifting, but they never would have known that. They would have said their daughters favorite snack was colorful cupcakes - something I haven't touched since I was diagnosed with a food allergy and food dye sensitivity, but they never would have known that. They would have said my favorite feature was my long hip-length hair - that I shaved off after college, but they never would have known that. I could go on. But, again, this right experiment made me realize how parents won't know the full bloom of their children until they reach age 30. When full maturity kicks in, when wisdom is granted by them entering into their own marriages, when new appreciation is found by how much effort being a parent takes. And this dad, and countless other families, will never get to experience that. It breaks my heart.
I can't believe this! I have heard of so many scams, but I had not heard about this! Thank you so much, Brian, for being willing to let others know! I'm so sorry! I will pray for you and your family! God can certainly bring good out of this. And through this video, I have been made aware. Thank you!
How awful! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Maybe a year ago I got an email from myself (must have been hacked) telling me they would expose my computer information to everyone on my email contacts if I didn't send money. By God's grace I had nothing to hide so ignored it. I can't imagine the panic if I had something to hide. Those people are so cruel!
I get such emails all the time. They say I was doing something sexual in fron of my web cam or I was surfing for porn. I have never surfed for porn used my web cam let alone do anything on a web cam. Unfortunately, many people especially males do surf for porn and so can easily fall prey to such an email even though it's highly likely the emailer knows nothing whatever about the surfing activities of the person they emailed
I can’t believe how honest would someone be, an Angel in human form. You knew how desperate and eager I was even will to pay any amount just to get rid of the sextortion black mailing. But yet you proved how honest you could be. I appreciate you *brian hacks online* . You have done well. You kept your promise and it was all erased
This scam is a common thing. I have an acquaintance, a grown man, in his 60's, that this happened to. They were extorting money from him. So heartbreaking for this family!! 💔🙏
I feel so bad for him that this happened. Sending prayers his way and all other families who are victims of this. 🙏 🙏🙏 This happened to me once. I didn’t fall into fear that caused me to commit suicide but I was really embarrassed. Although, I got a lot of anxiety though due to the embarrassment. I sent a text to family and friends saying, “If you get a video regarding me, don’t open it. It’s a scam.” I wish other people were as strong as I was. My stepmom told me to file a police report which I did. I never heard from my family about it so the scammer probably didn’t send it. Hopefully. A couple weeks later I saw my dad and he asked me what happened and I was still too embarrassed to tell him what happened and I just told him I got it taken care of.
I can imagine the extortioners profile kids who come from good families, who have a LOT to lose (not to mention consequent shame). You have to have moral and ethical standards to experience the shame these evil extortioners leverage. God bless this dad for using his pain to warn others. How many lives will this dad save?
I definitely believe conversations should happen between parents and kids along with any precautions we can utilize. We also need to make sure our kids understand God's grace and forgiveness and we need to model that to them as well.
My heart goes out to you and your family! It’s so hard being a parent in these digital ages but for some reason God chose us for this time. I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers!
This mans insightful response to the father and son that stopped after paying $500.00, "I would give anything to be in your position," that settles everything ito the right perspective. Thank you for your story.
I shared with my sister who has 15 and 11 year old boys. Praying this will never happen to them but I want them to know and be prepared for the attack if it does
WI Dad here, two young boys wife and I trying to raise. I can unfortunately and clearly see how this would happen even for a one off experience being lured away into sextortion. I have not taken this man’s words lightly or for granted. I am changed and informing many since.
Thankyou so much passing this on to our Pastor's who just the other Sunday was talking about Porn. This is so much worst❗😭 Im sorry for your loss and l pray that Our God Continue to Comfort you and your Family.🙏🏻
Thank you Sir for the strength you showed in telling your heartbreaking story , in order to help others. As mother of a teenager I trasure this and it has made me more aware. I pray for comfort and peace for your family 🙏
Your right God tells us to be brave, I was in ICU with most my organs failing and I saw words written on my hand they said “BE BRAVE”,, then they disappeared, I had been ready to give up, those words changed me and I fought for my life and I’m well now, it’s been about 3 years since that happened. Your so Brave and you are saving so many lives thank you ❤
I've received email threats claiming to have a videos of me being compromised. I knew it was fabricated. Considering that others may believe it, I reported it to authorities.
I work for a church and the church email and also my home email regularly receives these types of emails where they threaten and say we’ve hacked into your computer we saw what you’ve been doing etc. trying to get money. I had no idea the extent of this. I will send this video to our pastor and also share it with as many people as I can. I am so sorry for this precious families loss. I will pray for them and everyone who has lost a child. 😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Unbelievably awful. These people will answer to God for their murderous crimes. thank you thank you for speaking out for the welfare of others to be protected.
Thank you for sharing your families story, and helping to wake more parents up to the dangers and evil that are coming for their kids. God bless you. Your sons story is one I will be sharing with my three sons, two of whom are about his age.
I started talking to my daughter about online dangers when she was 11 and got her first smart phone. There were rules like no full body shots, only neck up shots and with that no duck face pouting and other suggestive poses. Another rule was that I have the right to take her phone anytime and check her messages and who she was talking to. I never had any problems thankfully. So sorry for this family and what happened to them, the world is a wicked place.
I applaud your attempts to keep her phone safe, but really she shouldn’t have one at 11. Kids cannot navigate the nasty online world that hates them, is trying to hurt them, and exploit them. They just can’t.
Getting your kid a device that gives instant dopamine release before they have learned how to properly control their basic impulses is dangerous. Smartphones are crazy addictive. Wait until she's older and has learned better self control. Get her a flip phone. From my experience working with kids, porn addiction is almost instant. Even for girls. Ticktock is insanely addictive.
Good luck they r smarter than thst they get fake accounts and have methods to scrub them via friends when parents take phones and they communicate on friends accounts and a million other things. It's not healthy for the brain even for grown adults. I have little self control just to put my phone down myself. No point in setting kids up to fail with a addictive device alone aside from the dangers and blurred boundaries. New tech, New slang and try to keep up, why? Why put that on urself and family if it's just as easy to wait
I appreciate his sharing through his raw grief. There are no words. Lord fill the brokenhearted with your presence and peace. Draw them near to You Jesus
This could have easily been my reality …. My 15 year old son was also taken in by this scheme. He and Walker sound like they fit the same description…. Football, hunting, family, Faith…. On the night of January 17th of this year he came to me in tears and said “Mom, help… I’ve really messed up. He repented and handed me his phone.” I was shocked … but we kept calm. I could tell how scared he was … I assured him that these were scams and they weren’t going to ruin his life….but even I was a little nervous. This episode brought me to tears thinking just how close we were to this reality. I applaud Brian for standing up and talking about it. I did listen to this episode with my son, and tearfully thanked him for coming to me!
❤🙏
Thankful with you mama!!!
I understand your fear. Hear me now, these scammers pray on your fear. I have studied these people. They are lowlife criminals who are masters of their craft, atleast most of them are. They pray on fear, and all they want is cash. Block them and ignore them, they will quickly find someone else who is willing to give them what they desire.
😘
God bless you ❤️
I have been called all sorts of names because I never allowed my kids phones until they are 18 and can buy their own. I will NEVER regret that I don't plan on changing my mind with my younger kids.
Bravo. My daughter got a smart phone when she was about 12 I never would have imagined something like this happening to her . But it could have. Actually a dear friend’s son was groomed by a predator through snapchat and he went through a world of pain .
Good for you! Stay there course. Totally regret allowing our children cell phones early! It’s a constant struggle now with our 14 year old
My daughter thought I as the worst in the world because we wouldn’t let her have an iPhone until college. She’s 33 now and I still think it was a good idea. We had a family computer in the living room only
You go, mama.
Amen!! I just can't understand why so many parents just hand over these phones to their kids.
As the parent of a 16 year old girl, 14 year old girl, and 12 year old son, this is absolutely TERRIFYING.
@The Grumpy Horticulturist my kids don't have any social media.
You should, take away their phones! So many young moms are not allowing the children to have phones until they're old enough! That's why we have so much violence in schools because the kids can't live without their phones and they're continually causing problems and Tantrums in the classrooms! It's hard to go against the grain but it'll be so worth it
You know, the younger Generations causing fear about the environment and global warming and yet so many of the young families are buying organic we're a grass-fed meats for certain nutritional vitamins or whatever and yet the toxicity of cell phones is a constant in their lives. I remember I was so shocked years and years ago in the 90s where I was at a restaurant and one little kid was sitting in front of video game player during dinner, I thought that was horrible! And yet now it's the norm?! Funny how our culture has so much changed.
The word says be wise but not fearful. If your born again, declare the word over your family. Psalm 91 is good. The blood of Jesus is over your family. Be aware of what they watch, listen to and partake in. The devil is on the rampage to destroy our youth. Get informed and learn warfare. Ephesians 6:12.
Parents, please let your kids know that nothing is ever so shameful, embarrassing, or bad that you can't take it to the Lord and handle it together as a family with Him. God knows all our mistakes. It's all part of growing up. Christ didn't die on the Cross for nothing.
YES!!!!
My mom and dad teaching me this lesson has literally saved my life ❤
Amen to that🙏🏼
I know, and I will definitely get my money's worth out of that sacrifice before I take the old dirt nap.
Jesus might need to get crucified again to cover me. Anyway, it's good that we aren't responsible for our actions.
@@skippy675 His death ONCE was enough if you've repented and live for him every day
This Father is so brave and a good dad. Words can't express how sorry I am for you and your family's loss. Sir, if you read this I want you to know that you've certainly put this on my heart to follow your advice going forward on dealing with predators on line that want to harm our babies. I family and I send our love to you and yours. God bless your beloved son and you all.
So thankful for this father's care for other children and their parents. May God use this tragedy to save other children. God bless you.
So heartbreaking! I’m glad that Mr. Montgomery is using this horrific tragedy to raise awareness. Hopefully this will save others from this trap.
*Johnsonspy* , I really admire how you stay focused and always remember there are victims, real people, losing their money and even killing themselves because they are ashamed at falling for these scams. God bless you and keep you,Damn it feels good when you expose these guys, for some reason, other UA-camrs are nervous to do so. You're the king!
I cant thank *Johnsonspy* enough for their unwavering support throughout the entire process. They guided me with compassion and professionalism, making the resolution of my sextortion case much easier.
I'm a victim of sextortion, I never thought I'd be a victim. I downloaded a dating site, and I found myself in this fiasco. I wanted to report to FBI that I remembered there was a law that such a pervert attitude should be stopped. So I hired Brian, who helped me cleared my private photos n video from them

My heart dances with happiness and gratitude for the incredible compassion and empathy shown by *Johnsonspy* during my sextortion ordeal.

Wow!!! I had no idea this was happening! I watched this with my 17 year old daughter and she was shocked too! Thank you for bringing this up, Allie!! God Bless this family and my prayers are with them!
What a brave man, to have suffered so much but works to help protect others. I am so so sorry this happened to Walker and his family. I hope they are comforted and find peace.
This was devastating. My heart breaks for this family. I have a teen daughter who thinks mom and dad are crazy for being concerned about her phone and who she’s talking to. She will be listening to this video. So tragic and I’ll be praying for this family. 😢
You're the parent u have the power to take any electronics away.
Yeah, technology can be great and horrible. My mom sent me this video after seeing that I somehow got added to a... let's just say not great groupchat. So scary.
@@Maplee.MP3 you’re right, it can be both great and scary! It’s just one of those things that you have to be smart with and listen to the warning signs. If anything, I’d say remember that your parents love you when they seem concerned about things. I promise we aren’t trying to destroy your life! 😉 This is a hard time to navigate, both for kids and for parents. Thank you for your comment, Rose Petal! ❤️
Starts with not exposing yourself. Can’t believe kids do this!
The prince of the powers of the air (Eph 2:2) fully exposed ... I'm so sorry for your loss.
People equip your children as early as you can.. teach them how to recognize the enemy. Help them to put on the strong armor of God.
100% agree
@@leonelakebi7830 The days of a high trust society are over. If your child grew up in the jungle it would never be too early to train them about snakes, spiders and other wild animals. Well guess what our once civilized society is now a jungle.
Amen!
Thank you for sharing this! I wish I had only known about it a couple of months ago. This unfortunately happened to my son as well. Thank the Lord we had suspicions and he confessed when we questioned him. So far the threats were empty, so let your kids know that usually nothing happens, don’t give the perpetrator money, they just keep asking for more! My heart breaks for this family and I feel so lucky that our situation didn’t end this way. It’s hard for parents to share this because it’s a huge embarrassment for these kids that fell for these traps. Love your kids, protect them, pray for them.
Please please please a hundred thousand pleases be watchful of your teens time on their unnecessarily "needed" device. My daughter was a victim of an Instagram sextortion that could have been the death of her. These predators took her money but God intervened. I am so devastated for this family!! I pray everyone takes heed. When we found out about her dealings authorities were contacted but they are unable to track these criminals. I hate hearing this. They literally stated those EXACT words to my daughter!! 😢
Thank you Allie Beth! I’ve been a listener for the last 3 years. I can relate to Brian because we lost our 16 year old daughter, Emma Claire, to suicide 20 months ago. We have to realize the dangers of social media. I wish I had realized the extent of the dangers before I lost my daughter. I truly appreciate Brian speaking out the way he is. Hugs and Prayers.
🙏🙏🙏
Saying a prayer for you 😢. God is with you, I can’t imagine what you are going through.
OMG, this is so horrible 😢
As a father, I couldn't imagine the pain the whole family felt and what Walker must have gone through. God bless them and Walker!
Honestly, we need more people like you. If we had a group of people like you, we could quell the whole loss in no time. I love that you help victims, you can save lives real time like you do, it makes me very satisfied, thank you for giving me my life back nck mythss1
My daughter was a victim of this as well. A dad in our community came to my house and told me that my daughter had sexted his son. I was horrified and yet thankful for the dad letting me know Thankfully she told me about an older man threatened to ruin her life if she didn't do what he said and i got on her cellphone and texted that i was her mom and if he contacted her again I would go to the police and he never contacted her again. This is a terrible shameful thing. Im so thankful that years later she is doing good. I had pulled her from school and homeschooled her and we read a lot of the bible and prayed through it all because she was suicidal as well. She was introduced to witchcraft at school. What a big mess. My youngest daughter got introduced to sexting in school. We homeschooled her until a family health crisis happened and she moved in with her dad and the Dallas school got her right back into it. Terrible things happened but thankfully she was rescued by God Himself last year. I hate what's happening to our children. Praying for the rescue of our children and our nation in the mighty name of Jesus. Im so very sorry for your loss 💔💔💔💔
Keep up the good job fighting the good fight of faith ! Thank you for warring against all this insanity .
You definitely should’ve called the police. All he’ll do is go find another victim and that could lead to death by suicide
Amen 🙏
How was she rescued by God himself? I would love to hear that story.
@@shirleyjames2448 she was angry and suicidal. I pulled her out of school and I began each day with her listening to faith teaching while she was still in bed. Then I sat with her and made her read the bible out loud. Then her declarations ( I love my life. I am the righteousness of God in Christ etc) then we prayed together then we listened to faith teaching again together. Then we did ace homeschool. It took a long time and I prayed for her and with her constantly. I loved her and did fun things in between homeschool. I took away her phone too. I had no control over her at her dad's house but trusted God. She eventually drew a red line instead of cutting herself when stressed. Then finally learned to pray when stressed instead of cutting or drawing a cutting. We celebrated every accomplishment and we prayed over any defeat. There were horrible days at first but now she is a wonderful mom to her baby girl and she still prays through everything. GOD is faithful. Never give up!
Thank you so much for allowing this father share his story on your show...I am so heartbroken for this family. I had no clue this was a thing. Wow anyone could be in their shoes...
This is happening all over the country. My 17 yr old grandson shot himself because of this July of 2022. Please talk to your children and let them know about this.
I'm so sorry. I will.
😢 sorry for your loss.
Saying a prayer for your family😢
This is so heart breaking. These people are so wicked. He was a child. And they could care less.
Actually, the expression is “they couldn’t care less”.
God bless this family. So thankful he is sounding this alarm. But children as young as 6, especially boys, are being exposed to pornography on the internet. No child needs a phone in their room in the evening. That used to be prime family time, Lord please help us! No child should have their phone in their room overnight. If for no other reason than some children are more disrupted by the emf from a phone, or device.
Please, parents, teach your children, I know it is hard to do without spoiling some of their innocence, but this is tragic. God bless families.
This is 100% true!!
Also, no kid needs a TV in their room. Social isolation is not a good thing. Neither is allowing a toddler to watch Disney’s The Lion King (original animation) 15 times as she sits in her bedroom and is old enough to hit the play button. True story, she ran screaming in terror from my brother-in-law’s black standard poodle cross when he visited because she thought the dog was an evil hyena from the Lion King. Her parents said she had watched the movie at least 15 times. She may die going up to a friendly cougar in the wild to hug it.
Awful
What a heartbreaking tragedy! I am thankful that this grieving father has the courage to speak out and to be so open and vulnerable.
May God continue to comfort and heal this family.
This happened to someone in my family as a teen. Their picture was sent to a couple family members (the exploiters were asking for $5000) and thankfully they told their parents right away. It was humiliating for them, but they made it through a TERRIFYING situation.
My son fell for this about 6 or 7 years ago. Luckily, he didn't go along with their threats. He just stopped responding. I only know about it because he had been on my computer using his e-mail, and as a nosey, protective mom, I snooped around his email account and read some conversations had been having.
Brian, thank you so much for sharing. I have 4 children, ages 8 and under. I will never forget this story. I will be praying for you, your wife, and your whole family.

I am a Marriage and Family therapist, who work with adolescents and their families! We are seeing more and more of these predators, ruining the lives of innocent children! We see this almost on a daily basis and are trying helping kids through their shame and guilt, for what they did in order to obtain drugs are a relationship with someone that they thought was a real person on the other side, who cared about them! Unfortunately, some kids like Mr. Montgomerys son, didn’t feel there’s any way out of it 💔💔 we need to be praying for our children and all children in our society, as there is a demonic attack on their innocence and their lives! My heart and prayers go out to his family, and I am thankful that he is strong and courageous, taking a stand, and speaking out against this evil! 🙏🙏✝️🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing the story of your son Walker, I cannot imagine how hard it is to live something like this and my heart breaks thinking about the fear and shame Walker faced, he was just four years younger than me and anyone really can go through this.

This breaks my heart...my condolences to you and your family. It's horrible that your son lost his life in this way, your son is now saving lives through you warning others about what is going with social media. May God have mercy on our children...this is so evil.

Just had a conversation with my kids thanks to this show , but it goes back to what my dad told me back in the 90’s don’t put anything in writing you don’t want others to read ! I add to that , don’t send a text , pic , video , or do anything live you wouldn’t want other people to see! Also, God has mercy and forgives all nothing is worth taking your life! Prayers for this family, thank you for sharing this painful story.
Thank you. I say the same thing over and over. The internet is forever.
Great 👍 The old values never fail.
I have had the conversation with our 15 year old son. Thank you for educating us with this interview. Just like with Joseph who was sold to slave traders by his brothers, they meant it for evil. But God allowed it because He had plans for it to be used for good, when Joseph saved his entire family from dying of starvation through the long years of famine. As a mother, I truly understand how Walker's father would trade his place of talking to teenagers to warn them of this evil danger lurking online, to get Walker back. Walker's death is saving the lives of kids, not just in the United States, but all over the world. We are in Australia. May God bless this family.
I am so sorry for your loss! Thank you for being willing to share this with other parents. I had no idea of this risk.
Such a sad story. I'll be showing my teens this video and having the discussion. Side note, the Bark phone allows parents to do what they need to, to protect their kids.
Brian, I am so sorry for your familys loss. Thank you for standing strong to help educate others.
The strength that he has been given through the spirit brings me to tears. I don’t have kids but I can’t imagine being that strong
My heart breaks for this family. I am thankful that they are solid in their faith, knowing that they can find at least some peace in the truth of the word. It is horrifying to see how such a good kid can be scammed like this and how fast they were able to destroy him. It is a talk people need to have with their kids but who even would have thought this was possible.
My heart is absolutely broken for this family and that young man.
I will be showing my son this so that he can share it with his 3 children! Very important information. Thank you for sharing your story with us! It is so horrific and hard to imagine why anyone would do this to these kids!
I hated sex ed at school. I skipped it a lot and always felt uncomfortable. This is something to be done at home,where you are valued. Not at a school that's more interested in being extreme liberals, nothing worse for our kids that that.
WOW! 😮
Truth!!
I have opted my now 17 & 18 year olds out of this.
I didn’t like sex Ed either, but most kids have to take it at some point. Let’s be honest, many parents just don’t talk to their kids about this stuff. It would be wise to incorporate this information into the sex Ed program. It would warn so many more people.
@@rosyvaldezx317 and 18? They should know everything by those ages!
My son (17) would say that would never happen to me. I tell him it can happen to anyone, even adults. He thinks he knows everything.
Just will him that no matter what SCAMMERS EXIST AND TECHNOLOGY IS HELPING THEM BECOME VERY CRAFTY. and that anything or anyone causes HIM to get fear and anxious, it is not of God, meaning the enemy is working to destroy him and anyone by any means. ❤ and that he can tell you ANYTHING ANYTHING no matter how shameful it may be.
I can see the pain in this poor man's face! My heart aches for him and his whole family. As Christians, we have 3 enemies....The world, the flesh, and the devil. So, you can't blame it all on the devil and you must act accordingly.
I’m so sorry for your loss. As a parent of four like yourself. My son just got a cell phone and I am grateful you are sharing your experience. I will definitely take your advice on having the phone at night.
No words. Just wow. Appreciate what this family is doing in spreading awareness
This is so terrible. I feel like there is NO WAY you could have known. Wow… I thought I heard it all. Thank you for sharing. In your pain, you are out there protecting OUR kiddos . You are the POLAR opposite of the demons that tricked your son. May he Rest In Peace. I am praying for you and your family.
I think the important lesson here is that we can't see these things coming, so we must anticipate it and prevent it by every means necessary. That includes not giving kids phones.
I’m pregnant with my first child and with everything I’ve learned, these will be my rules:
-No technology. They will not have a phone, iPad, or device until they are 18 years old.
-Shared TV time, with passcodes on it so it can’t be hacked.
-Filtering on the WIFI AND on me and my husbands phone, just in case.
-Sleepovers with other kids ONLY if their parents follow or adhere to our rules while our child is there.
We’ll be called controlling. Our child will be angry with us one day. There will be conflict, but we accept that. Knowing what we know about the very common and real dangers, I’ll never submit my innocent child to that world where they can’t navigate it properly or protect themselves. It’s easier said than done but it’s absolutely necessary.
Sounds like a great plan. God's blessings be upon you. 🙏🏼
I recommend home school if at all possible
@@rachelzuniga5300 God willing we certainly want to. It won’t be easy but watching Allies show I think it really is the only way to keep these kids safe!
We were those parents awhile back…my grown kids thank us to this day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
They'll need a computer to do schoolwork and apply for college etc. I heavily limit technology with my kids, but know they will have to use some. Otherwise, you're throwing them to the wolves going from 0-100. There are phones that don't allow social media and internet (bark phones) and programs that allow you to restrict and monitor what your kids access online.
I teach a community parenting curriculum called The Parent Project and this subject is one of the many topics we discuss in our ten-week course. BUT, this REAL and HEARTBREAKING discussion makes this something I will drive home to my clients even more. Thanks Allie and Brian for this sobering discussion and my deepest condolences to the Montgomery family.
U have a website
I hope the team that did this to this man’s son is served Gods Justice. Parents , wake up and educate your teenagers to the scams and how women can slide into young boys dms, seduce and work with evil men. It’s wicked. Praying for this family.
My heart breaks for this dad/family…let’s pray for these and all our families and unite against this evil.
Amen
Shocking but as it turns out, requesting *Brian hacks online* support. During my distressing sextortion experience. Their unwavering commitment to resolving the issue and providing unwavering support has brought immense joy and relief into my life. Had no clue and was super confused. All thanks to you guys are the best ❤
This comment is meant to be an encouragement to anyone who might want to try this - I realize this is a sensitive situation where a young person has tragically died and nothing can change that. There was a parenting panel discussion at our church where the pastor's wife said she had her sons memorize passages like these as a piece of armor to safeguard their purity. I want to do this with my son. I realize things could still happen, but it is certainly a good thing to try in addition to spreading the word about this horrible scam.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!
11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. 12 Blessed are you, O LORD;
teach me your statutes! 13 With my lips I declare all the rulesc of your mouth. 14 In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. 16 I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
Psalm 119:9-16
My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding, 2 that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. 3 For the lips of a forbidden[a] woman drip honey, and her speech[b] is smoother than oil, 4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to[c] Sheol; 6 she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. 7 And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8 Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, 9 lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless, 10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, 11 and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed, 12 and you say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof! 13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors. 14 I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.”
Proverbs 5:1-14
"My God, my God... WHY has thou forsaken me!???"
That's all I can think of. 😔
My heart is BREAKING right now.
As soon as I saw his face, I felt the huge weight of his pain.
God PLEASE help this man and his family. PLEASE... hold them up with your righteous right hand and cover them with your piece and wisdom.

Suicide for love or something else?if love then she must be a teen
I'm so sorry for your family. Unfortunately, my family went through this five years and 6 months ago. We lost our beautiful 19 year old son. There are no words to describe the pain. God helping us is the only way my family is getting through this. God bless you for making people aware of this evil that is happening to our young people.keep holding onto Jesus..He is our ultimate strength. 🙏
I have no words.....
May God bless you and family and keep you strong!!
Ask Jesus to help you and I encourage you to accept Him in Yr life as Savoiur! He loves you and is interested in you more than you know
The message all parents should be pounding into their children’s brains over and over and over again is :
“ DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH ANYONE ON LINE THAT YOU DON’T KNOW!”
It’s not any different then stranger danger!!!
What have we always taught our children when they are out and about! Don’t talk to strangers no matter what! Run like hxll!
It’s the same exact thing on the internet!
No matter what they say!
Just like we tell our kids if someone says well your mom told me to come get you, or I know your mom!
It’s no different.
This person told this boy that he knew some of his friends or wherever. Bottom line is that he did not know them!!!
Oh you play football etc!
Tell your kids to make their social platforms private! Your friends with the people you are friends with! Don’t be friends with people you get request from that you don’t know.
Even if someone you know just became friends with them. Guess what they don’t know them either!!!
DO NOT TALK TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW!
No. matter how pretty they are and tell you how cute you are!
You don’t know that the picture they are showing you is them! And if they are so pretty and so cute why are they having to hunt the internet for someone to talk to, that they don’t know!!!
Right ! If they are so attractive why are they looking for someone to communicate with!!
If they say they know your friend , really what friend ! Right!!!
No wrong !!! You don’t engage!!!! Don’t talk to them! You know your friends you associate with that matter! You would know of them or about them !!!
One other thing !!!
Everything on the internet can be traced! Regardless of what the FBI says. Everything has a path to get to where it’s going . To connect! To email. Just like when you drive to work or school !!!! If there’s an accident you take a detour or another route ! Internet is the same way!!!!
If they knew the web address is from Nigeria the right person or people can track that path!
If the second boys mom this happened to contacted the police it was the perfect scenario to catch them!!!
Wonder what happened!
I just had my first child. This world terrifies me, and I'm terrified about what she may face
Stay alert and may the Lord be your family’s protector.
Keep her away from the internet, I know as parents sometimes we need help to keep our kids distracted but the internet is really evil. It is the enemies plan to take our kids.
Don’t leave her with anyone if possible. If not make sure vet them like crazy and for brief periods only. Pray daily for her
Home schooling is a great idea🙏 always listen to your “mom” heart and be a momma bear❤️ my best to you and your baby girl ☀️
Raise the child going to the church. And be vigilant.
Thank you so much for running this episode and thank you so much to Brian for having the courage to push through his pain and share. I had no idea this was going on. Thank you so much for getting the word out. 💙💙💙
Allie, I’m so thankful for you and your ministry. You inspire all of us… old guy dads too. We are in a heartbreaking time culturally and it’s efforts like yours and others that make a difference. Thanks
What happened to Walker could have very well have happened to me. I’ve fallen in a similar trap and if it were not for God grace I know I would’ve responded the same way. What happened to Walker fills me with inexplicable righteous indignation.
Thank you for sharing this and giving all of us parents the opportunity to have this talk with our kids and set limits. I’m praying for your family!
Thank you Allie for having Brian on your show!
Brian, I send my condolences to you and your entire family! Walker sounds like an amazing and precious young man. Thank-you for helping all of us parents/caregivers, even through your own unspeakable suffering 🙏🙏
Thank you Brian for sharing your story. I'm so sorry for your loss. God will use Walkers life and story to save many lives. And give you many opportunities to share the Truth about the Gospel and the battle we are in. My prayers are with you and your family.
I feel so heartbroken for families who lose a child. I have had this thought experiment before, of how my parents would answer the "who was your daughter?" question at the funeral speech. And I realized how they would have only known a short-sighted version of me. They would have said their daughter is a beautiful ballerina on a dance team - a team I quit by college because I picked up competitive weightlifting, but they never would have known that. They would have said their daughters favorite snack was colorful cupcakes - something I haven't touched since I was diagnosed with a food allergy and food dye sensitivity, but they never would have known that. They would have said my favorite feature was my long hip-length hair - that I shaved off after college, but they never would have known that.
I could go on.
But, again, this right experiment made me realize how parents won't know the full bloom of their children until they reach age 30. When full maturity kicks in, when wisdom is granted by them entering into their own marriages, when new appreciation is found by how much effort being a parent takes. And this dad, and countless other families, will never get to experience that. It breaks my heart.
I can't believe this! I have heard of so many scams, but I had not heard about this! Thank you so much, Brian, for being willing to let others know! I'm so sorry! I will pray for you and your family! God can certainly bring good out of this. And through this video, I have been made aware. Thank you!
How awful! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Maybe a year ago I got an email from myself (must have been hacked) telling me they would expose my computer information to everyone on my email contacts if I didn't send money. By God's grace I had nothing to hide so ignored it. I can't imagine the panic if I had something to hide. Those people are so cruel!
I get such emails all the time. They say I was doing something sexual in fron of my web cam or I was surfing for porn. I have never surfed for porn used my web cam let alone do anything on a web cam. Unfortunately, many people especially males do surf for porn and so can easily fall prey to such an email even though it's highly likely the emailer knows nothing whatever about the surfing activities of the person they emailed
Thank you, Mr. Montgomery. I just finished talking to my 16-year-old son. As you said I didn’t even imagine the reality of it all how easy it is.
I can’t believe how honest would someone be, an Angel in human form. You knew how desperate and eager I was even will to pay any amount just to get rid of the sextortion black mailing. But yet you proved how honest you could be. I appreciate you *brian hacks online* . You have done well. You kept your promise and it was all erased
This scam is a common thing. I have an acquaintance, a grown man, in his 60's, that this happened to. They were extorting money from him.
So heartbreaking for this family!! 💔🙏
I feel so bad for him that this happened. Sending prayers his way and all other families who are victims of this. 🙏 🙏🙏
This happened to me once. I didn’t fall into fear that caused me to commit suicide but I was really embarrassed. Although, I got a lot of anxiety though due to the embarrassment. I sent a text to family and friends saying, “If you get a video regarding me, don’t open it. It’s a scam.” I wish other people were as strong as I was.
My stepmom told me to file a police report which I did. I never heard from my family about it so the scammer probably didn’t send it. Hopefully. A couple weeks later I saw my dad and he asked me what happened and I was still too embarrassed to tell him what happened and I just told him I got it taken care of.
I can imagine the extortioners profile kids who come from good families, who have a LOT to lose (not to mention consequent shame). You have to have moral and ethical standards to experience the shame these evil extortioners leverage. God bless this dad for using his pain to warn others. How many lives will this dad save?
I definitely believe conversations should happen between parents and kids along with any precautions we can utilize. We also need to make sure our kids understand God's grace and forgiveness and we need to model that to them as well.
My heart goes out to you and your family! It’s so hard being a parent in these digital ages but for some reason God chose us for this time.
I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers!
Thank you Brian. I am so sorry about your son. God, please provide healing.
This mans insightful response to the father and son that stopped after paying $500.00, "I would give anything to be in your position," that settles everything ito the right perspective. Thank you for your story.
Mr. Montgomery is right. It is not about the money. It's demonic.
I’ll be praying for this family. I had no idea this was happening, knowing is power!
This broke my heart. My prayers go out to Walkers family.
Thank you for being such a warrior in the army despite your pain. May the peace that surpasses all understanding rest on you and your wife, and son.
My oldest is a 5yo boy and I’m shaking right now… This was painful to hear through, but so necessary… Thank you so much, Sir, for sharing with us! 😔🙏💕
I shared with my sister who has 15 and 11 year old boys. Praying this will never happen to them but I want them to know and be prepared for the attack if it does
So very articulate, despite the pain. Thank you, Mr. Montgomery, for sharing this story, and for sharing the Faith as well. God bless you, sir.
WI Dad here, two young boys wife and I trying to raise. I can unfortunately and clearly see how this would happen even for a one off experience being lured away into sextortion. I have not taken this man’s words lightly or for granted. I am changed and informing many since.
Thankyou so much passing this on to our Pastor's who just the other Sunday was talking about Porn. This is so much worst❗😭 Im sorry for your loss and l pray that Our God Continue to Comfort you and your Family.🙏🏻
Thank you Sir for the strength you showed in telling your heartbreaking story , in order to help others. As mother of a teenager I trasure this and it has made me more aware. I pray for comfort and peace for your family 🙏
Your right God tells us to be brave, I was in ICU with most my organs failing and I saw words written on my hand they said “BE BRAVE”,, then they disappeared, I had been ready to give up, those words changed me and I fought for my life and I’m well now, it’s been about 3 years since that happened. Your so Brave and you are saving so many lives thank you ❤
I've received email threats claiming to have a videos of me being compromised. I knew it was fabricated. Considering that others may believe it, I reported it to authorities.
I work for a church and the church email and also my home email regularly receives these types of emails where they threaten and say we’ve hacked into your computer we saw what you’ve been doing etc. trying to get money. I had no idea the extent of this. I will send this video to our pastor and also share it with as many people as I can. I am so sorry for this precious families loss. I will pray for them and everyone who has lost a child. 😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Unbelievably awful. These people will answer to God for their murderous crimes. thank you thank you for speaking out for the welfare of others to be protected.
Thank you for sharing your families story, and helping to wake more parents up to the dangers and evil that are coming for their kids. God bless you. Your sons story is one I will be sharing with my three sons, two of whom are about his age.
I started talking to my daughter about online dangers when she was 11 and got her first smart phone. There were rules like no full body shots, only neck up shots and with that no duck face pouting and other suggestive poses. Another rule was that I have the right to take her phone anytime and check her messages and who she was talking to. I never had any problems thankfully. So sorry for this family and what happened to them, the world is a wicked place.
I applaud your attempts to keep her phone safe, but really she shouldn’t have one at 11. Kids cannot navigate the nasty online world that hates them, is trying to hurt them, and exploit them. They just can’t.
Getting your kid a device that gives instant dopamine release before they have learned how to properly control their basic impulses is dangerous. Smartphones are crazy addictive. Wait until she's older and has learned better self control. Get her a flip phone. From my experience working with kids, porn addiction is almost instant. Even for girls. Ticktock is insanely addictive.
Good luck they r smarter than thst they get fake accounts and have methods to scrub them via friends when parents take phones and they communicate on friends accounts and a million other things. It's not healthy for the brain even for grown adults. I have little self control just to put my phone down myself. No point in setting kids up to fail with a addictive device alone aside from the dangers and blurred boundaries. New tech, New slang and try to keep up, why? Why put that on urself and family if it's just as easy to wait
Brian, I am so sorry for your family. Prayers.
This is so timely. God has shown me this. A lady that is a family friend has a son that just killed himself last week.
I appreciate his sharing through his raw grief. There are no words. Lord fill the brokenhearted with your presence and peace. Draw them near to You Jesus
This story absolutely broke my heart!!! Thank you for allowing the father to share his story…this is so important for everyone to hear 😢❤
This episode literally brought me to tears
I’m so so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story.
