(ChurchLeaders) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has begun a campaign called, “It’s Not a Game,” as a warning to parents against predators who target children through online gaming. The campaign, launched June 29, 2021, came after FBI New York Intelligence Analyst Chris Travis noticed a disturbing pattern.
“As an analyst, one of my jobs is to take case information, match it to other cases to look for trends and commonalities, and to see if different suspects are using similar methods,” Travis said. “I remember when I noticed the patterns, and it hit home. My young son loves to play online games, and he was potentially being exposed to the behavior I was seeing in these cases.”
