One of the reasons the case is going to be “very very complicated,” is because the offspring was also involved in the numerical cult that is spreading crazy fast online.

764
A former Family Guy production assistant described Nick Reiner, son of filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, as a troubled young man with a “dark, twisted” personality even during a 2014 internship his father helped arrange. He struggled with sobriety and seemed unsettled years before he was later charged with first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his parents.
In a separate but serious national issue, the FBI is warning about and actively investigating a violent online network known as 764 that targets children and teenagers. This decentralized internet group uses social media, games and chat platforms to groom, manipulate and coerce minors into producing sexual acts, self-harm, violence and explicit content, often under threat of releasing compromising material or other forms of extortion. Authorities have linked 764 to hundreds of investigations nationwide, and federal prosecutors are charging individuals connected with producing and sharing child s3.ual abuse material and coercing minors. Parents are being urged to watch for signs of grooming, understand how 5extortion works and report suspicious activity as part of broader efforts to protect vulnerable youth from this dangerous online threat.
764 is a violent online network that law enforcement describes as one of the most dangerous digital threats facing children and teens today. It operates across social media, gaming platforms, and encrypted messaging apps, using manipulation, fear, and coercion to control victims.
Key facts about 764:
- Targets minors and vulnerable teens, often between the ages of 8 and 17
- Uses grooming and trust-building before escalating to threats and blackmail
- Forces victims into s.xual exploitation, self-harm, violent acts, or humiliating recordings*
- Relies on 5extortion, threatening to expose images or personal information if demands are not met
- Operates as a decentralized network, not a single group or leader
- Members seek power, control, and status, not money
- Actively investigated by Federal Bureau of Investigation, with hundreds of open cases
- Linked to severe psychological trauma and long-term harm for victims
- Considered a top-tier national security and child safety threat
Authorities warn that many victims do not realize they are being manipulated until the threats begin, and by then, fear and shame often keep them silent.
