ANNAPOLIS, Md. – On September 16, 2020 officers responded to an Anne Arundel County residence for a social media trolling cellphone App that solicits child pornography.

Officers learned a five-year-old child hadย  several apps โ€œTalking Angelaโ€, โ€œTalking Angela 2โ€, Talking Tom 2โ€, and โ€œTalking Ben 2โ€ on their cellphone.ย  The apps told the child to take naked pictures of themselfย  and siblings while in the bathtub. The app then told the child they would strangle the child if they didnโ€™t comply.ย 

The Anne Arundel County Police Department is urging parents to constantly monitor their children’s online activity and use of social media. Please report any suspicious social applications to the police department.
