A man accused of kidnapping a 14-year-old North Carolina girl he was chatting with online died Sunday, a day after trading gunfire with police.
William Robert Ice, 38, was sought in the disappearance of Savannah Grace Childress, who went missing from her Davidson County home on Feb. 11. After Savannah disappeared, police determined that she had been her Davidson County Schools-issued computer to talk to Ice online across multiple platforms, according to the Davidson County Police Department.
Ice, in turn, had been talking to several juveniles, who were able to help identify the Pennsylvania man.
The top five apps he talked about were: Snapchat, Yolo, TikTok, Whisper, and Discord.
You might even use some of these apps, but you should also know your way around the apps enough to know all their features.
“No parent would drop their kid off at the mall if they knew there were pedophiles and bullies and murderers so why do we allow them in our bedrooms without knowing they are there? And that s what we do when we allow kids to be quiet in their bedrooms and download whatever they want to with their apps,” said Webb.
