top UK counter-terrorism officials have raised urgent alarms over the growing exploitation of British youngsters through online gaming platforms and chat services.
Security chiefs warn that extremists and members of a notorious online network are actively grooming vulnerable children, pulling them into terrorism and a sinister satanic cult known as “764.”
Youngsters as young as 10 are increasingly appearing in terror-related investigations, with children now accounting for one in five arrests nationwide—a sharp rise from one in 20 a decade ago.
Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, the UK’s head of counter-terrorism policing, highlighted the alarming trend during a Five Eyes intelligence alliance meeting. “We arrested 40 children for terrorism related offences in the UK.
That is one in five of our arrests,” he told the Telegraph. “We have 10-year-olds in our Prevent program. There are some really worrying statistics.”
Prevent, the government’s program to stop radicalization, has seen nearly 3,000 referrals linked to grooming on gaming networks. The age of those involved in terror, violent, and sexual offenses continues to drop dramatically.
National Crime Agency chief Graeme Biggar echoed these concerns, noting cases involving children as young as eight. “We are seeing children appear in our casework at younger and younger ages,” Biggar said. “We had a case come across our desk this week of 8-year-olds being groomed online through gaming platforms. Sadly, that is not unusual.”
Authorities report that perpetrators are shifting away from the dark web to mainstream platforms for greater reach and perceived anonymity. Police arrest around 1,000 suspected online predators each month, underscoring the escalating digital threats to British youth.
