A tragic case has emerged involving Caleb Morgan, a 14-year-old from El Dorado, Kansas, who died by suicide after falling victim to an online “sextortion” scam. Caleb began chatting with someone he believed to be a girl his age on TikTok, which then moved to Snapchat. The person sent him compromising images and pressured him to send photos in return. Soon, demands for money followed, threatening to share his photos if he didn’t comply.
Caleb’s mother, devastated by the loss, revealed how the blackmail made him feel hopeless, leading to his desperate decision. Despite efforts to save him after the incident, Caleb passed away at home. His parents were initially unaware of the cause until police discovered the distressing conversations on his phone. Caleb had even sent a picture of a gun in a cry for help.
