In 2014, 14-year-old Breck Bednar was a bright, tech-savvy teenager who loved gaming and coding with his friends online. When a charismatic older gamer named Lewis began appearing in their chat group, claiming to be a 17-year-old entrepreneur with his own company and connections to the U.S. government, Breck was fascinated by someone who seemed to share his passion for technology. But as months passed, Breck's mother Lorin noticed disturbing changes. Her once-open son became secretive and distant, defending his new friend against her growing concerns. Despite her attempts to intervene, including contacting police about potential grooming, Lewis had already woven an invisible web of manipulation around her son. Breck's story exposes the terrifying reality of online predators who hide behind screens, exploiting the trust of vulnerable teens in spaces where they feel safest, and serves as a stark reminder that danger can enter our homes through something as ordinary as a gaming headset.
