Dr. Phil discusses how young adults, specifically teens, are being targeted online by sophisticated predators who work to entice victims into sharing explicit photos or video of themselves, and once the content is sent, the second part of the plan ensues and the threats begin … it’s called Sextortion. The sextortionist will threaten to share the images everywhere if the victim doesn’t comply with their demands which can include sending more images, money, and sometimes convincing victims to commit sadistic acts, self-harm and even suicide. Dr. Phil sits down Adam, a devoted and caring father who says he had never heard of the word Sextortion, until it was too late. Tragically, only 7 months ago, Adam’s 15-year-old son Bryce, a remarkable young man, with an unbelievably close relationship with both of his parents, ended his life, less than three hours after being contacted by on an online predator.
