- A mother whose son killed himself just six hours after being targeted by "sextortionists" is campaigning to raise awareness.
Jordan DeMay died in 2022 after brothers Samuel and Samson Ogoshi targeted him from Lagos, pretending to be an attractive girl his age, and then blackmailed him with explicit images of himself.
Now, his mother, Jenn Buta, is using the TikTok account Jordan set up for her to warn young people about such criminals, largely based in Nigeria - and her videos have more than a million "likes".
Nigerian police have told BBC News any suggestion they are not taking the crimes seriously is "laughable".

When you give your kid a smartphone, you are not giving them access to the world. You are giving the world access to your kid.
same as when they leave the house, people need to learn how to live in the real world, with smartphones and all other things
@@PavelKrupets when you leave your house you are not exposed to the millions of people immediately, including scammers, perverts, pedophiles, prisoners, etc.
@@juvi999 1. you aren’t talking to millions of people
2. he was targeted, same as people can target you on the streets (if you look like you have a lot of $), or behave funny, or fall for 1st girl who smiles at you
3. we all live in the real world even people in the internet, all countries have criminals, perverts, etc walking on streets.
@PavelKrupets hmm let's run the numbers tick tock over a billion users. CZcams almost 5 billion. Snapchat over 5 million every day... I could go on but you probably get the point giving your child access to the internet means millions of people can reach them in an instant that was the point 👉 get it? Got it ? Good 👍
@@jasonhewitt1129 so? how many there are criminals? can you teach your kids not to share personal information? talk to people if something bad happened? or they go around on the street shouting when nobody is home, where money are stored, give first person they meet password to their bank account?
speak for yourself, don’t put words into other people mouths, you point is moot
One of my childhood friends killed himself in 2015 for the exact same reason. Rest in peace, Jake.
So very sorry for your deep loss...this is something I've been trying to warn folks about for years, partially bc of the child predators out there but these sextortion scams have gotten evil
I'm sorry for your friend Jake
I am so sorry and it is a shame that people suffer from this and even kill themselves over this. I miss the days when the net did not exist yet.
If anyone is reading this and you are in a similar situation, don't kill yourselves.
There is so much help in place, just reach out to your parents, cops, your Doctor, place of worship.
Help is just a phone call away.
Stay positive and strong.
Because in a world of bad people, somebody good needs you.
Yes places of worship have always been and continue to be a welcoming safe place to address sexual anything. I don't care what the facts are. It's safe.
@@j.m.1806I’ve never know religion of any type to be understand and supportive re sexual relations..
@@jessH090 you are correct!!
Don’t ever send nude photos to anyone especially strangers. Especially if you are scared to death if someone sends them around.
You cant stop people from doing it so If you are going to send them, don't send a pic with your face or any identifying marks like tattoos
@@rumblefish9Yup! Great advice and if you ever make the mistake of sending photos or videos,don’t ever show your face, birthmarks, tattoos, or anything that identifies you.
Loneliness is one of the most powerful experiences in human psychology. It is also one of the most misunderstood.
Loneliness = Not enjoying solitude.
Lonesomeness = Enjoying solitude.
The warning bells about the effects of social media on society started in the early 2000's. Unfortunately social media disease is now fatal.
It's not miss understood. It's easy to understand.
Living in the USA at 50 years old Loneliness was physically making me sick. Two years ago I decided to come live in south America and it definitely cured my Loneliness the only problem now is I'm forced to go back home in two weeks. Even though I have a beautiful home in the USA I'm scared t death to go back home and experience loneliness again. South America is so different people are more social. I realized that in south America people don't need a lot to make them happy. I'm probably going to sell my house and retire in south America in the next year or two. These phones have turned us all us to slaves to technology. I would hate to grow up with a device plastered to my face since I'm a baby I could only imagine the damage that has been done to this generations brains.

Wait so if he wasn't good looking it would be less bad?
@@ymhymh2226yes
@@ymhymh2226 He wount be targeted in 1st place. Ppl need to know their asserts and the dangers comes along with it. Face the reality.
This happened to one of my coworkers. He asked us for help and what to do, we told him to contact police and to NEVER pay these clowns any money. Because even if he had paid, they would still have sent the photos around. The girl he matched with, she even face timed him a few times, so from his perspective it was 100% real and a tinder match etc. He sent her stuff when she asked and before you know it she had sent it to everyone including his family members on facebook because he didnt want to send her 10,000$
And then? Did people care or did everyone move on after saying "yikes" and then deleting it?
@@clankb2o5 People cared, and people moved on. But the idea of this blackmailing should be said to young people on these apps or better yet just giving people forewarning before sending explicit photos
@@clankb2o5 He's a dude. No one cares about men. You should know that by now.
@@clankb2o5yes even if people care, they will forget and move on with their lives..I know it's shameful to face them after they know but life goes on
Wow how horrible sorry to hear this
We need to let our children know that they can come to us whenever they encounter challenges. Under no circumstances should they think they are alone, even when it's very bad. It doesn't mean we will encourage them in wrong doing, but we can always find solutions that are way better than destroying themselves. This is heartbreaking
They need to stop treating black people like they are God, its absolutely evil the things they do to children old people etc. Their racism is constantly in our faces to. There are hundreds of black male pedophiles playing on ROBLOX an online kids game and others like it many of these games are themed to be anti white hyper sexual and poking fun at suicide and its all black men doing it. The BLACK MASS must be stopped, its Satanic and has nothing to do with Black peoples rights. This is what "anticolonialism" looks like a black mans entitlement to white children and white parents shaming their white children for existing out of projected guilt. Protect your children, keep them safe from them especially their communist Marxist victimhood propaganda. Adult black men are teaching kids to twerk sexually in these online games, parents should be smart enough not to give their kids a smart phone. Ottomans want to groom your children, don't let them. This is being spearheaded by Muslimgauze and the Alphabet Legion AKA Satans Army.
Exactly. This is the responsibility of the parent throughout their upbringing so that by the time they are 17-18 they are making wise choices or they understand when they need help they can talk to a parent or guardian.
I had a message come through on yesterday claiming that my device had been hacked and I was being watched by hackers and they were going to send out my search history to everyone. There was also a 2min timer with a link and I needed to go on the link to put a stop to it. These scammers are sick people and I hope all the horrible things they do to people comes back on them or someone they care about. that’s if they have the heart to care about another human being at all
That was 98% a bluff. If the ACTUALLY broke in they would steal photos and give proof in the extortion threat. Threatening with „search history revealing” is a blatent lie and a laughable bluff.
How does that happen and what do you do after that? Pls let me know cause I'm scared of these stuff . So if these things ever happens I could be careful
Were you on some websites? Cause ain't no way they can do that while you're not using web service.
Don’t click on links and don’t share sensitive information about your self no matter what.
If u guys accidentally click an unknown link, try to restart your phone as it will cut their connection from taking over your phone or computer.
I learned from
Mr. "Jim Browning" channel 😇
You can tell that the Nigerian cyber minister is serious because he's in a gaming chair.
Leave Nigeria out of this! This is a trend that happens mostly in the US.

It's his fault for sending nudes to some random unverifiable account 🤦♂
@@MrGreen-ci2mmhe’s a kid. The same thing happened to Amanda Todd, no child expects to go through this. Education could be better on this subject but it’s literal adults extorting children.

Yeah like maybe if there were some people in the house, like adults, who would tell him don't do stupid sh** like that... Oh wait.
@@MrGreen-ci2mm there is definitely more than whats being said here. aint no way a western dude is offing himself over some nudes. something is not being said here.
This happened to my son. He was so confused and distraught. But he knows how tough and strong I am. So, he reached to me and told me and I handled it, short of going to the Police.
Kids need to know - Anytime something overwhelming hits you, come to parents. All is forgiven. You get nothing but total support. Scoldings are reserved only for not shutting the fridge door. Rest gets a hug.
I agree
@@Belugamale8738 ok, have a good day
It probably was that he didn't want to live with this "shame" and disappoint their parents 😢 kids don't understand that the worst which could happen to their parents is not having their children anymore 😢 everything else doesn't matter and can be solved
Tip for everyone: If someone asks you for dirty photos, never plans to meet you in person ever, and refuses to do any video calls with you, please block this person for your sake!!!
Our children must be informed of this ugly crime!
I thought this problem is limited to India but it seems it's a global problem.
Globally !
India and Nigeria are the most well known countries with scammers. I don't think it's a global thing because other countries aren't as embedded in scams as those two. There's an entire district of Mumbai dedicated to online scams with call-centres in office blocks.

@@mrsam0496 what country would that be? And just because you haven't heard of it happening doesn't mean it's not
Jordan DeMay Must have lived a very Sheltered life, a safe life, it seems he was unaware of scammers, and struggled mentally its a shame he wasn't aware of scumbags online,
How about banning nude photos. AI is capable of this.
How about developing the mental fortitude to not give a shit. Might sound corny but let me say that we are born into this world naked and when our time passes, we don't take our clothes or hairdos with us. There is nothing to be embarrassed about if somebody has our nude photos or videos. It is not the end of the world, nobody cares, people will move on with their own challenges and any incident (if it ever happens) will be just a story. What truly matters is how we respond to it and gather the strength to become a stronger person and never give in to these fraudsters and never let them dictate our lives. People with enough sense will truly understand our situation and will find inspiration in our resilience.

@@nvmtt1403 depends on how bad you take it but I seeked help right away. I got the police involved and a couple days later I joined Andy’s man club. It was a very difficult time for me to deal with what happened but I got help and there’s a possibility the police got the person who done it
These scammers, mainly from Nigeria, are all over and it is disgustingly
@@nvmtt1403it could also be other factors that result to that person feeling the need to kill themselves
@@Dorr234 yes, internet is full of scammers including nigeria, but, a 17 year old should be aware that sending nudes over the internet is stupid and immoral
This happened to me and I laughed as I rolled with it. It’s just me naked. Condolences to the family
Yep the kids who buy into it take it too seriously. Your parents have seen you naked, there’s no drama. Just tell the punks to fuck off. And so what people in school will see it too, chances are that if you look good that will only play in your favour with the girls. I wish that I could tell the kids who are a target to this to just come clean to their parents, tell them what’s going on, and let the blackmailers do what they will. Your parents, if they are any decent as such, will get it. As a mum I would totally understand it and even laugh it off a little when the pictures came out, simply adding a “well, now you know!” to it.

@@livinganddyingabroad thank you, some sanity
@@selmahareYou might think differently if the victims were young girls. Girls were being shamed much more than boys if their naked pictures spread online.
@@tiararoxeanne1318It's nothing anyone else hasn't seen before. If I had children, I'd teach them to be bold as brass about it. They'll be less bullied if they roll with it.
we defenitley need more cyber security experts in Canada and UK to prevent these kind of stories from repeating.
no, parents need to step up and remind their kids to respect themselves
Having too much shame is detrimental in this world.
I was a victim of sextortion when my ex broke up with me. I was scared and decided to close every social media. They just moved on, they don’t have time to send your images to anyone.
I know how you feel, happened to me once too
Happened to me during the covid-19 pandemic when I was feeling lonely and naive. A user in Instagram threatened to release a clip of me to all my Instagram followers. I then quickly blocked that user then went through the list of my followers and removed the profiles which are suspicious to me. Then finally set my profile to private immediately after doing so. That is one lesson I will never forget and will not repeat again. But R.I.P to this boy and condolences to his family.
Isn't it better to campaign against youngsters showing their bare parts to strangers on the internet?
Well that's part of it too. Being aware that once they send something online, they can never get it back. It's all about educating them of the risks and the real dangers so they can better protect themselves, but the ultimate catch-all is knowing that they have support around them should something ever happen. That way, victims don't feel so alone. The sextortion itself is a source of great stress, but the helplessness of feeling alone and unable to tell anyone is why they consider taking their own life.
So depressing for the mother.
What is not being addressed is how many of these scammers are actually kidnapped victims being forced into the work. This is happening disproportionately in China, India and other South Eastern areas.
Yeah, I also have that in mind. ☹️
GET...KIDS...OFFLINE...
offlife*
what about teaching them about the dangers of life including the Internet?🐵
I remember when I was 18yrs old and just opened a YAHOO email account... i got an email from pretending to be a Prince from Nigeria who is ailing and wanted to share his wealth with me. Thank God i didn't get bamboozled.
Yes, also don't let them out of the family home. Now that mention it, don't let them get into water, exercise. Why let them eat to begin with? All extremely dangerous activities.
Right on
So sorry
Thank you for sharing this information
What a sick world we live in.
Anyone who's never received an email from a Royal prince or from someone awaiting inheritance, don't panic your email is still being drafted
How can a young adult think that having nudes sent to friends is that bad? What kind of ideas did all of the boys who took their life have about sexuality? I think this report is missing a point not talking about conservative upbringing and taboos around sex. I simply cannot imagine what kind of a family you have to grow up in where you'd rather take your life than tell your parents that you sent nudes and are in trouble. That's not normal
He could have been struggling with other things and this was the straw that broke the camels back.
Actually, it is quite understandable. Especially in teenage years, it is not unusual for youngsters to try and sort the problem themselves, even when they know they need help. Also, given the evil nature of these criminals, it is possible they threatened to harm the families, too. We can't presume to understand all this young man, and others like him, went through or what we would do under the same circumstances. We can only know that these children were viciously preyed upon, harassed, and worn down. It's a terrible, terrible tragedy!
All parents can do is their utmost to raise children who are aware, wise, and able to discern, in advance, the consequence of their actions. You think sending nude pictures to friends is safe? I disagree. Everyone wants and deserves some level of privacy, and when you expose yourself on a phone or video and press 'send', you place that privacy, and possibly your life, in the hands of others and at the whim of their values which, you may find, do not align with yours. Warning children about this, and teaching them to apply caution, wisdom, and integrity in their sexual choices is not conservatism or a taboo; it's good, plain, common sense!
@@faitheternal3015 Is this an AI comment?
@@HillyRockyRoads Why would you ask that...?
But this is a teen, not an adult. A naked photo of yourself for the world/parents to see/explain, might be mortifying. ..not a reason to commit suicide though

Sexual oppression has consequences. To turn a natural healthy aspect of life into a shameful demoralizing act will lead to it's natural response, hypocrisy, self hate, deviant unwanted acts on others etc.
Australia’s channel7 Spotlight just did a 1 hour exposé on this whole thing. It’s wide spread and they even spoke to one young man who was directly responsible for the death of an Aussie kid. He didn’t really care and no prosecution will occur due to no international legal treaties.
i don’t get it. so he would rather die than to have nudes of him posted online? like anyone even cares these days
no one wants nudes of himself out in public, dude! You don't know what he was going through! It must have messed up his brain , his core, his very being, having a stranger blackmail him and have tremendous power over him. remember when you were a kid or a young adolescent, in those days, young as you are, you act sometimes irrationally , sometimes you don't think before you act... maybe having those pics of him posted online really did hurt him... I mean he even told the scammer that he would kill himself! it is obvious that he was desperate, he must have cursed at the scammer a thousand times before pleading with him... he must have cried, felt sadder than ever before... he was just 17... young ppl (and not so young) overreact sometimes... Make a mountain out of a molehill, you know... I wish I'm never in that situation that Jordan was in.
They care for a few days at least and apparently they send the photos to family members of the victim.
If you are insecure and afraid to speak out , it can seem like the best solution in some people’s minds.

@1:00 Teaching kids to be careful about this should be part of schooling, like in computer science class and/or sex ed. My father warned me early about being careful online because he was a tech computer science dork decades prior to the 90s and 00s when there was punch card programming and giant computers in basements. So, he saw this on the horizon because even they knew what the pros and cons were back then.

Oh my gosh my heart is broken. I will pray tonight for this mom. Wow. The solution I think also is for kids to have “dumb phones” while being educated about this so that when they get a smart phone on their own they aren’t falling prey. When I counsel young ppl and parents I tell them NEVER communicate with someone online that you don’t know in person. NEVER
How heartbreaking. My condolences to his poor mother and loved ones x
If your pics get leaked, just say it's AI and it's not you dong. Everything is fake nowadays, so if you tell friends your pics are fake, they'll believe you.

With the ability to generate deep-fakes these days, the victim doesn't even need to have contact with the person, he can take a photo from someone's Facebook, generate the photo and then contact the victim and blackmail them (or worse).
tat is y don't use facebook n others which make oneself public. Use it for 4mths when it first started and notice this thing has a big problem. Completely delete it few years ago.

While l agree about using social media, public figures are vulnerable to this. My friend is on the local public school board and never posts any photos, but people can get her image from group photos and/or public events.
This is so sad. Hell has a special place reserved for everyone who would do that to someone.
It’s just sad to hear what happened to her son because he clearly would have a good future
Lack of parental supervision and control. When will these parents learn that they have responsibility?
This poor family needs some form of justice.
Not giving a smartphone to a child would be best but realistically isn’t possible.
Should parents be taking their child’s phone and reading their messages and their social media checks, to check if they are targeted. It’s a tricky one
I wonder if the BBC is going to talk about what certain groups from certain religion do to young people in streets
Internet access is a powerful tool, often, parents do not realize its dangers.
Don't meet people online 😢
6 hours? Something is missing here
your imagination
This crimes happen so fast from West Africa Ghana Nigeria and ivory coast
@@jimmy11707 you're the one believing the story without thinking for yourself, I'm imagining there's something more going on, make it make sense lol
@@jungresonant9772 sorry to offend you my brother. I was just being a little sarcastic dick with my response . its one of those moments when one should hold their tongue in polite company . my apologies.
@@jimmy11707s'all good man, no worries
It's not only about talking to the kids. It's about monitoring their device use. No child has 'privacy' on their devices. All parents are ultimately the ones who have to help the child pick up the pieces after a mistake so they must monitor what the kids do on the devices. They must know who kids talk to and the content of chats. No one must be allowed to communicate with children without the parents' consent.
This should grow into some form of counsel and discussion through adulthood too. Kids need sound counsel from experienced people.
bunch of pussies xD
No offense to Jordan, but this has to be an extreme case of overreaction, I mean sure having the picture of your Willy send to your friends and family is not pleasant and very embarrassing , but it definitely isn't grounds for suicide . No one is even going to remember that after a while. Of course if he had already been battling some sort of a mental issue, adding this on top of that would most likely push most of us over the edge
Maybe he has a really small Willy.
He was probably not mentally ok even before this happened
Maybe his family is conservative?? He was a teenager
The video reported that at least 27 US boys took their lives over this in the last two years. How many worldwide?
@@Redstripe921 Yeah that would make a lot more sense, already suffering from mental issues and having this bombshell dropped on you, could push anyone over the edge for sure
Suicide?? Just sad.. did this kid not have father figure in his life??
What does having a father figure do to prevent suicide??
@@JamieJamie2o2 The father figure could tell the kids "no ones cares about your naked picture"
@@badminverse2136 If that's all they can do, then I'm sorry but anybody could fill that spot.
Those desperate people took advantage of a situation at the time which was meant to be very personal, naturally you wouldn't want anyone as a whole involved.
This is horrendous. If I were a parent, I’d be teaching my kids to try to be away of these scams but let them know that this happens & I have their back.
Talk to the kids the youth talk to ur children. Let them know what’s out here and the internet deepest condolences
Can you tell me what sentence they get ?
This happened to my son, thought by putting permission on his Instagram private message would protect him. It didn't he accepted the request :( my deepest condolences to you.
Unemployment does not make a “person” push the another to kill himself. Encouraging and threatening the teen to kill himself is pure evilness .
Horrible.
Thankfully, my upbringing makes me mistrust anybody else. 😉
Please kids, Don't engage in sexual activities online. They also use a software in Skype to look like what they want show but they're actually men behind the camera.
You wont feel threaten if u know u didn't do or shared anything. Block and restart your phone and computer if u may have clicked to an unknown links.
Don't ever heed to their request to pay it will only prove you fell as an easy prey.
Also, learn to watch how to avoid this situation..
Lets just switch off the internet
Why are most of them in Nigeria?
Cops are cheap, cash talks.
@@glockguy4127 Why would that be specific to Nigeria?
@@DavidZ4-gg3dm out of the top 10 countries for highest unemployment rates, sub Saharan Africa makes up 9 out of the 10. Don’t get me wrong, they’re degenerate scammers, but there’s clearly a trend amongst countries like this
They need to stop treating black people like they are God, its absolutely evil the things they do to children old people etc. Their racism is constantly in our faces to. There are hundreds of black male pedophiles playing on ROBLOX an online kids game and others like it many of these games are themed to be anti white hyper sexual and poking fun at suicide and its all black men doing it. The BLACK MASS must be stopped, its Satanic and has nothing to do with Black peoples rights. This is what "anticolonialism" looks like a black mans entitlement to white children and white parents shaming their white children for existing out of projected guilt. Protect your children, keep them safe from them especially their communist Marxist victimhood propaganda. Adult black men are teaching kids to twerk sexually in these online games, parents should be smart enough not to give their kids a smart phone. Ottomans want to groom your children, don't let them. This is being spearheaded by Muslimgauze and the Alphabet Legion AKA Satans Army.
Why are Americans the ones sending naked pictures of themselves to people and traveling to other countries for sex? Maybe Americans should learn to control their libido.
It’s time to stop stigmatising sex and being a sexual being.
Years ago we were taught "stranger danger" and how not to engage. When did parents coaching their kids to not talk to strangers evolve into "I don't know how my kid thought would be great to send nudes to a stranger"?
Im sorry but why take your life over some pics? If the person was trying to sextortion me id be like, "go ahead" lol.
Its a pity these are Nigerians involved, sorry for your loss ma
Amanda Todd's case comes to mind. It happened a little more than a decade ago. Please, parents, educate your kids. Let's not have history repeat itself.
This is where you need a stronger mentality and outplay their mind games.
Threatening with pictures? Tell them to do it quick to help you get a kick start in gaining popularity so that you can join the adult industry when you become of age. If they really do it, well, it's not the ideal path, and not a path I would recommend, but at least they've paved a path for you to potential fame and money. It's better than losing your life.
Showing signs of weakness will only encourage this kind of behaviour, because they know it will work.
There is a huge lawsuits happening in the USA against snap chat, a boy took his life due to sexortion, he was 12.
They were charging him 35 dollars a day. 😢
