Electronic extortion among intermediate students

Baghdad/Obelisk:

Abeer Al-Qaisi

It is known that cases of extortion occur on social networking sites previously and until now, but in small proportions, and they are limited to publishing pictures of the girl and blackmailing her financially in this way.. But today the matter has evolved to reach the extortion of male students electronically by luring them through international games or social networking applications at the level The world, so the blackmailer seduces the teenager through the site by presenting huge financial offers and housing temptations in Europe, while providing him with a girlfriend.

And this process takes place under the sky of Baghdad without the knowledge of the parents and those around the teenager because the blackmailers ask him not to disclose that, so that there are two cases that have already occurred and the two teenage students fled following they left the school and they disappeared completely. Note that the blackmailers who stand behind this solicitation have their official website outside Iraq and they have arms in Baghdad. They deliver the money to those who lure it and at the same time make sure of his psychological and physical health so that they can exploit it as they wish.

With their stipulation that he should not disclose this to his family or companions…. This story happened to two to five teenage students in Baghdad only. It is already present and confirmed by the Ministry of Interior and the Educational Guidance Unit as a result of the mother and father’s omission of following up on their children and the electronic programs they download. Therefore, if the family does not follow up on its children in cooperation with the school, it will happen in the coming days. It is a tragedy as a result of the disappearance of the students, so we must make an awareness stand that is reduced to the family’s follow-up of their children, their behaviors, those who accompany them, monitoring their mobile phones, and what they do in terms of installing social media programs, because it is a task shared by the mother, father, big brother, principal, mentor, and teacher.
