A US man has been sentenced to 77 years in prison for his role in "764", an online network of groomers who prey on vulnerable young people. The Australian family of one victim is urging parents to become vigilant in protecting their children from this dangerous global trend. Meanwhile, the death toll continues to rise in Nepal following devastating flash floods, with thousands still missing and families desperately searching for clues to locate their loved ones.
The Australian mother of one of the victims expresses her concern over the "harrowing" nature of this issue. Smart glasses companies are being urged to implement automatic face blurring technology, as online safety regulators call for stricter regulations on the devices. The family of an Australian missing person in Nepal is launching a crowdfunding campaign to join the search efforts in the hardest hit areas.
Despite the ongoing search, support for One Nation's Pauline Hanson remains low, as revealed by recent analysis.
