DECATUR-On November 25, 2025, the Decatur Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit began operation “Home Alone,” to seek out individuals that prey on children. The operation began by undercover officers posing as minors online across various social media platforms.
Over the course of 10 days, communications were ongoing with individuals who believed they were communicating with an underage child. These individuals continued to pursue and arranged to meet in person for the purpose of engaging in sex acts with the child.

We would also like to remind parents to be vigilant to what your children are accessing on electronic devices and who they are communicating with online. Please talk with your children about internet safety and the dangers of sending photographs and/or personal information to individuals they have never met, even those accounts that appear to be another child.
Law enforcement nationwide has seen an increase in sextortion cases, specifically involving young boys, who are being targeted by individuals who reside outside of the United States.
