Parents have been warning about online predators for years.
But a new generation of extremists is targeting American children with tactics that would make your blood run cold.
And authorities just caught one 14-year-old satanist whose plot against a Florida church exposed something far more sinister.
Teen Linked to Neo-Nazi Satanic Death Cult Planned Church Massacre
Jose Pagan Jr., 14, was arrested Saturday in Wimauma, Florida after authorities discovered he was plotting a mass shooting at a church near his home.
But the church attack was just the beginning.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister told reporters that Pagan was connected to Tempel ov Blood, a neo-Nazi satanic extremist organization that uses violence as a path to "spiritual enlightenment."
Deputies received a tip on January 31 that Pagan had access to firearms and was discussing his plans in an online chatroom for violent extremists.
When they searched his home, they found weapons, ammunition, and electronic devices containing child sexual abuse material.
Sheriff Chronister said investigators discovered "14 extremely graphic, disturbing images where individuals were inflicting violence towards infants and toddlers."
The content was so horrific he couldn't describe it publicly — "images too graphic and too disturbing to discuss because they would keep all of you up at night."
Parents Had No Idea Their Son Was Being Radicalized by Satanic Terrorists
Pagan wore a "No Lives Matter" T-shirt in photos found by investigators.
He spent his time in online chatrooms with other members of Tempel ov Blood, planning church attacks while sharing child abuse images.
Most firearms in the home were locked in a safe, but investigators found one gun easily accessible in his father's nightstand.
The teen's parents apparently had no clue their son was being recruited by one of the most dangerous extremist networks in the world.
Tempel ov Blood is the American branch of the Order of Nine Angles, a global satanic pedophile cult linked to dozens of terror attacks and murders worldwide.
The group specifically targets vulnerable teenagers online, using child exploitation material to desensitize them for larger acts of violence.
Extremism experts say the child abuse images aren't the goal — they're the training.
These networks use the images to desensitize kids for what comes next: public acts of terrorism.

FBI Sounded Alarm After Cases Started Exploding Nationwide
Pagan isn't some lone wolf.
The FBI put out a warning in March 2025 about violent online networks "methodically" targeting minors across the United States and around the world.
The bureau said these groups zero in on vulnerable kids and exploit them.
They operate on publicly available platforms like social media sites, gaming platforms, and mobile applications young people commonly use.
Predators establish contact through games with public chat features, pretending to be friends who share the child's interests, then move conversations to encrypted apps like Discord or Telegram where the real radicalization begins.
A Wisconsin teen who murdered his parents as part of a plot to assassinate President Trump was also an adherent to Order of Nine Angles teachings.

In December 2024, a high school student in Guadalajara, Mexico livestreamed himself attacking classmates with an axe after making satanic blood pacts online.
Italian police arrested a teen in February 2025 who allegedly planned to make a snuff film and was affiliated with both the 764 Network and Order of Nine Angles.
New Zealand outlawed the group as a terrorist organization in 2025, and Russia banned distribution of Order of Nine Angles materials following a 2024 court order.
Pagan was charged with written or electronic threat to conduct a mass shooting, in-state transmission of child pornography, 14 counts of solicitation or possession of child pornography, and two counts of unlawful use of a two-way communications device.
He faces 18 charges total as prosecutors decide whether to charge him as an adult.
"Don't let the age of this suspect diminish the seriousness of these crimes he committed," Sheriff Chronister warned parents.
"There's no such thing as being a helicopter parent. There's no such thing as over-parenting. Make sure you're monitoring your child's online activity — who they're associating with and who they're talking to."
When deputies asked Pagan why he was involved with such horrific content, the 14-year-old told them he was just trying to be "edgy."
That excuse won't fly with prosecutors looking at terrorism and child exploitation charges.

Sheriff Chronister said his office would maintain an increased law enforcement presence at two churches near Pagan's home.
After the 21-day juvenile hold expires, Chronister expressed serious concerns about releasing the teen back into the community where "our loved ones live."
Parents need to wake up to what's happening in their own homes.
These satanic terror networks are recruiting American children through the very devices parents give them for school and entertainment.
The child sitting in their bedroom playing video games could be one chatroom away from being radicalized by neo-Nazi satanists planning church massacres.
