GWINNETT COUNTY, Georgia (WGCL) A Gwinnett County mother wants an investigation opened after she says a man targeted her child on Snapchat, requesting to be her ‘sugar daddy.’
Teresa asked CBS46 News not to share her full name but she wants to share the full story.
This weekend, the mother found out about messages sent to her 10-year-old on the app. The mom says she realizes many will consider that too young of an age to have an account but considering the pandemic and remote learning, kids at her child’s school began relying on it to talk with each other.

According to a press release from the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, an initial investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force determined 26-year-old Fredy Jesus Lora-zuniga committed the crime Friday afternoon.
Lora-zuniga is accused of using a cell phone to communicate with a person he knew was under the age of 16 in a graphic sexual nature, according to the release. Lora-zuniga reportedly committed the crime while at a restaurant in the 2,000 block of Ga. 369/Browns Bridge Road.
A Gainesville man is being held without bond at the Hall County Jail after investigators acting on a cybertip found child sexual abuse materials at his home.
Hall County Sheriff s Office spokesman Derreck Booth said investigators have charged Martin Santillan, 57, with six counts of electronic exploitation of a minor and one count of second-degree forgery; all of the charges are felonies.
Booth said a preliminary investigation this past July turned up three images of child pornography on Santillan s electronic devices. He said the suspect also uploaded the photos onto his Facebook Messenger account to send to another user.
This week, the investigation was expanded to include Santillan s residence.
