Hate to be charged accordingly. The Justice System needs to grow a pair and prosecute these little monsters.

Juvenile detention center, really? Some of these kids are 17, almost 18 years old and should be charged as such! The sick, twisted, and evil intentions that went behind these crimes need harsher consequences. There should be absolutely 0 tolerance for hate like this, the parents must be so proud.

This a good example of why TikTok should be banned.

This is one reason I don’t go on dating apps anymore. It’s very dangerous.

Interesting how hate crimes are charged/prosecuted when it comes to others

Sue the Dating app and the social media platform which I suspect is tik tok since they are well known stupid dare challenges and the parents of the teens and file exact same criminal and hate crime charges against the parent(s)!

This is what happens when you infantilize teenagers. No person that you call a minor would know and how to lie, use social media to lure, and attack a human being. Let alone even know what even knowing what lying or assaulting even means.

Just admit that these teens were "using these dating apps to lie in wait for" PREDATORS?!?

Meeting up with teens to commit Demonic Acts. ..That should be a crime.

[l.austin]

This is not disturbing the fact that people go to dating apps to meet people who are complete strangers blows my mind

[KiraLangington]

They probably told them that they were teen boys and the "dates" came a running.
