Overview

  • Guardia Civil and Policía Nacional have issued official alerts about a group that automatically adds minors from across Spain without their consent.
  • The chat circulates sexual images involving children and violent material among underage participants.
  • Two formal complaints filed in Cáceres and Badajoz have triggered an active Guardia Civil investigation into the network’s operators.
  • Authorities advise parents not to exit the group so they can preserve evidence and report it to INCIBE, Policía Nacional or Guardia Civil.
  • A camp monitor in Monesterio first reported the chat to authorities, and criminologist María Galán later sounded a public alert to families and educators.
