21:26Now PlayingTeen boys are the new targets. Dr. Phil exposes the alarming surge in sextortion, the heartbreaking consequences, and what families must do now to protect their kids online.
A silent predator is stalking teenage boys—and it’s hiding behind their screens. Dr. Phil sounds the alarm on the growing wave of sextortion scams exploiting young boys’ vulnerabilities. Tamia and Tim Woods share the devastating story of their son James, who died by suicide after receiving over 200 threatening messages in less than a day. South Carolina State Rep. Brandon Guffey opens up about losing his son Gavin, who took his own life within two hours of being targeted. Dr. Phil also meets Rick, a 15-year-old survivor who hid his torment for days, and Nico, who fought through a terrifying 24-hour ordeal before telling his mom. Cybersecurity expert James McGibney explains why boys are being targeted, why so many suffer in silence—and what parents must do now. If you think it can’t happen to your family, think again.
